Can't install any plasmoids

Tue Mar 03, 2009 3:56 pm
I can't install any plasmoid I compiled one from source (stasks) but I can't get it to appear on Widget list. And I can't even install plasmoids from internet...
It says that there is a problem with /tmp...

I have KDE4.2 and I did install everything that I needed to compile plasmoids.

I get this error:
Installation of /tmp/kde-primoz///99815-quick.plasmoid failed!
and installation of /tmp/kde-primoz failed

What is the problem?

My permissions in /tmp are OK and it's not full.

I have no idea what else to check.

This looks like a packaging error in the *.plasmoid file. You could try manually copying the needed components to $KDEHOME/share/apps/plasma/applets/

No need I "lost my nerves" and decided it's time to jump the boat.
Now I'm on Arch using KDEmod and I like it (still few problems, like bad font rendering...)
But at least I have much more plasmoids in repos :D
And installation is if i remeber correctly very simple you just tell pacman to use source code

I'm having the same error, but I am having it when I try to download plasmoid with GHNS. Any ideas? It seems to happen with any plasmoid I try to install that way.

Here is the bug:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=181982

Looks like it dates back to the end of January.

I'm getting the same problem in Version 4.2.1 (KDE 4.2.1) "release 103"


Proudly dual-booting openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 4.3 and Windows Vista on a Toshiba A205-S4577 since July 2007.
