Thanks - that path did the trick. I suspect the other errors resulted from a separate change I made, renaming the image directory to 'NixieDir' (change made for other reasons).
I've uploaded an updated version, and that should work. Let me know -

bizzl -
Thanks for the comments. Unfortunately, you've found the one problem that I was aware of - difficulty with specifying path.
When I originally wrote the clock (as a non-plasmoid), I used sys.path[0] to specify the location of the images and the configuration file. I've found that that doesn't work under plasma, and haven't been able to find a solution. I was hoping that the .kde directory structure was universal enough that I could specify from there, and it seemed to work on several different machines here.
If anyone has any recommendations on that front, that would be appreciated.
Otherwise, the path is specified in the second line of main.py - I'd edit it after installation (rather than unzipping, editing, rezipping and installing). If you do a 'locate NixieClock' after installing the script, you should be able to find out where it was installed, and modify main.py appropriately.
Let me know if you have further problems! |
| | | Creating KDE4 plasmoids?
Oct 28 2008 on Discussion |
I've got a little python script that creates a nixie-tube astronomy clock that I've been running on my desktop for a few years now. It shows local time, universal time, local sidereal time, and julian day number.
I'd really like to turn it into a kde4 plasmoid, but I haven't been able to find any kind of 'howto' on turning an ap into a plasmoid - all of my searches end up with results on how to build/install a plasmoid from source.
Is there a resource somewhere that I could look to to convert my ap to a plasmoid?
Or anyone who wants to do the dirty work? :-) |
