I think there is a problem using it with
SuperKaramba 0.36, the latest one. When I press the 'add log' menu, nothing happens. I love this theme. Please help.

Change line 60 of logwatch.py from:

karamba.setMenuConfigOption(widget, "addlog", "0")

to:
karamba.setMenuConfigOption(widget, "addlog", 0)

(delete the quotes around "0")

Lines 60 AND 149 must be changed in the same manner (take the quotes off around the 0).

Still doesn't do anything.

Thanks for that. Up and running without a problem now.

Unfortunately, I'm having the same issue. I can run up logwatcher, and the window appears, including the text "Select a log file to view". Right click and select "Add a Log" and nothing happens. Applied fix described above and the app still doesn't work. Details below in regards to system, and more will be provided if needed. I'd really like to have this widget running.

Try logview here: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=8466

I've been using it for many months. Works fine.

Hello!
Is it possible to change font encoding in this theme? I use iso8859-2 so there is a lot of unreadable characters in logs in logwatch.
Regards

Hi, great project, but I have a one problem with it. How can I deal with this: Everytime I start KDE, when the logwatch starts with it I must add the logs again. Is there an option for the logwatch to remember my logs and to open them every time I start it?

Tnx, anyway.

It is possible to resize the window?
I edit ~/.superkaramba/logwatch.rc, then run superkaramba but it always starts with a widgetHeight of 121.. And when I close it, it writes widgetHeight=121 in my ~/.superkaramba/logwatch.rc.

Is it possible to chanhe this behavior?

Hi

really nice toy. But it only startes when i uncomment the second line in logwatch.py containing "import string". Does it call a var from karamba which can't be found on my system?

Btw:
Qt: 3.2.1
KDE: 3.1.4
superkaramba: 0.32

I have created a file in my ~/.kde/Autostart folder. But logwatch (or karamba?!?!) seems to forget the logfile i have choosen :(

I really want to try this, but the theme is stuck at the "Please wait while the weather loads" display. I see the following output in my console:

Call to widgetUpdated failed
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/X/BlueChicken3/BlueChicken3.py", line 955, in initWidget
makeWeather(widget)
File "/X/BlueChicken3/BlueChicken3.py", line 59, in makeWeather
WeatherFile.updateWeatherPage(local, zipcode)
AttributeError: Weather instance has no attribute 'updateWeatherPage'
There is no time for you

The above message just repeats over and over again.

Thanks!

hi,
this themes is cool, but when i run it, it is always on top.

Hi!
There is an option in the theme file, under the "KARAMBA" command, to turn on this feature ("ONTOP = true"). The default is "false", so try to put "ONTOP = false" explicitally and let me know.

Here on this site. Have found the image, but not the posting/article.

However, this url contains it:

This is a great idea since roottail isn't working on KDE.
But: How do I choose a file to watch?
'configure theme --> add a log' isn't working...

Yeah, I really would like to use this theme to monitor my ftp traffic, thanks for starting this project....

Unforunately however, it doesn't work for me either.

As posted before me, you're code for the dialog box in the config menu is a bit off. Check out line 131, this is where you problem is:

command = ["kdialog", "--title", "Select the log file to view", "--getopenfilename", "/var/log"]

There is no option "getopenfilename". At least not in kde 3.1.4

After changing this line though, the theme still doesn't work properly. I'll look over the code some more, see what I can find. Of course I know this is only version 0.1, but I like the idea so far. Hope you get it working perfect so I can use it.

Thanks

It's true... this version is for kde 3.2 (alpha). I'll release another version with some improvements. Any other bug/suggestion? :-)

Change it to this:

command = ["kdialog", "--title", "Select the log file to view", "--inputbox", "Path to Logfile", "/var/log"]

That worked for me :)
