KeyLock widgets - screenshot

I think it is not neccessary to have those widgets in Mageia's repo, becuse an installation works fine by using "Add widget" in Plasma 5, why:

*** Key Lock State:
- does not work at this moment due to missing main.qml file in LockStatev1.0.plasmoid, if installed by "Get new widgets" → "Get Hot New Stuff". See https://github.com/jasonmoofang/LockState/issues/2
- but the installation works fine if you'll download the master .zip file, unpack and use a command "$ plasmapkg2 --install LockState-master". Then you can install the widget to desktop/panel.
- but it is in V1.0, so it has poor features (works for Caps-Lock, Num-Lock only) than Keystate widget
- it is not possible to adjust the font size if used in Plasma panel. It means the panel must be too high

*** Keystate:
- works out-of-the-box from "Get new widgets"
- more features than Key Lock State (works for Caps-Lock, Num-Lock, Shift, Meta-Alt, Super/Hyper (Window) key, AltGr, Ctrl)
- possible to adjust a style + font size 

Please test it and give here a feedback. This bug report can be closed then.

Hi,

I try to install keystate with "get new widget", but it is not work for me.

I do "Get new widgets" → "Get Hot New Stuff" 
find keystate and clic on "install" button

The button say "Installed", but no keystate if I do "Get new widgets" from the desktop !

There is no trace of keystate in "/usr/share/plasmoids".

If I download and unpack manualy the zip of keystate in /usr/share/plasmoids, keystate is present in the list of "Get new widgets" and work fine.

Hi all,

please install a missing package "kpackage". Then should work.

@KDE_Dev, Marja:
Description:
On the fresh MGA6 (32,64bit) with Plasma 5 can't be installed properly new themes with System Setting ($ kcmshell5 kcm_desktoptheme) and new Widgets. No error message during installation. The button is for the theme/widget is appeared as "Uninstall", it means it is installed, but then this new theme is not in the list! Users can mistakenly believing that Mageia/Plasma doesn't work fine.

But using command line we can see something like:
Command ' "plasmapkg2 -t theme -i /tmp/Rice-blue.zip" ' failed with code 255

Workaround:
# urpmi kpackage

TODO:
- may you be so kind and add it to Errata/Release Notes for MGA6? Or the package "kpackage" add as dependency for Plasma packages into update?

Please confirm

Assigning to maintainer neoclust.

Thanks for having fixed this in cauldron / Mageia 7 :-)

I don't think the fix ever landed in Mageia 6, but Mageia 6 is no longer supported.

Anyone still needing to upgrade to Mageia 7: a safe way would be to use a
netinstall ISO http://doc.mageia.org/netinstall/7/en/content/index.html and
then select to upgrade in the "Install or Upgrade" step.
