Does anyone know how I can get my hands onto the rocketbar panel? It is the panel used in Mandriva and ROSA linux. I find it interesting, but would rather not have to change distros for a simple widget or panel.

Thanks.

ps - if you aren't already aware, here is a pic of what I am talking about (although it does more): http://www.tuxmachines.org/images/rosa_menu.jpg

the openSUSE build service has the source https://build.opensuse.org/package/file ... DE%3AExtra I'm sure it's hosted somewhere more official

Well, assuming I can figure out how to install the thing, that will do! Thanks.

you can ask on the Kubuntu forum as someone might have created a package

I looked at the install instuctions in the source and it appears there's multiple applets, including a copy of smooth tasks

Code: Select all

To install plasmoid unpack archive, go to the directory
where this INSTALL file is and execute commands:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix`
make -j 2
sudo make install
kquitapp plasma-desktop && sleep 2 && plasma-desktop

Replace the "2" with the number of cores your computer has
to speed up the compile process (the runtime speed of the
compiled applet is unaffected by this).

On some installations the last line has to be this instead:
kquitapp plasma && sleep 2 && plasma

After that plasmoid should show up in add widgets dialog.

Thanks for the help. I did not realize that this would be so confusing lol, so I appreciate it. Running the script that you gave me successfully installed smooth tasks (which is named rosa tasks), but nothing else. I do not see an install file anywhere else. Is it possible that the rosa panel folder needs to be placed somewhere?

I couldn't get it to compile as it errored out

I tried installing the prebuilt package and I was told it needed 2 added packages:
kde4-desktoptheme-ROSA is needed by plasmoid-ROSA-panel-0.9-92.2.x86_64
plasmoid-ROSA-launcher is needed by plasmoid-ROSA-panel-0.9-92.2.x86_64

so maybe you need to find and install these also, if you Google you'll find some instructions/packages like https://launchpad.net/mandriva-rosa/man ... driva-rosa
