One of the most important functions, which is S.M.A.R.T HDD reposting is still not incoporated in any widget available. And S.M.A.R.T status is THE most important/expected thing to be displayed right on our desktops.... Somebody with me?

http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/?content=168881 in openSUSE its found in the Extra repo

Can you please give me an insight how this can be installed on Kubuntu 16.04? Tried "install from file option", but it does not recognize any plasmoid there.... Thanks

it a binary widget, if its not in any Kubuntu ppa then you'll need to compile it https://github.com/papylhomme/diskmonitor/tree/0.3.1

you could ask Kubuntu to package it

a bit offtopic, but while you're hare, can anyone help? having trouble compiling it

xx@xxx:/x/diskmonitor-0.3.1/build$ sudo cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(kf5-config --prefix) -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DKDE_INSTALL_USE_QT_SYS_PATHS=ON

try installing a package named extra-cmake-modules

didn't help but thanks

that's the package that contains ECMConfig.cmake see http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64 ... s/filelist

did the error change?

Didn't notice it at first, but it did change:

do you have qt5-qmake pkg installed?

yep... still the same

there should be patterns or meta packages or something to install the required packages to compile KDE and QT apps in Kubuntu which is properly what you're missing - don't use it so don't know. You could start a new thread regarding compiling on Kubuntu, Operating System Specific -> Linux forum might be appropriate here or ask them.
