knemo on KDE4/SUSE 11

[alpinist]

Does anyone know how to get KDE4 to use knemo for network monitoring? It installed OK, but I can't find where to select it as the active monitor...

Yes this would be interesting, anyone a clue?

The only way i know is install/start kcontrol of kde3, configure knemo and activate it at the kde system services section of kcontrol
knemo then opens in the system tray of the plasma panel
Backdraw is that you have to start kcontrol->kde system services->knemo every time you start kde4. knemo doesn't load automaticly at the next login.
Dunno if there is a way to start knemo without kcontrol (making it possible to automate its startup in a script)

Hmm, found it:

dcop kded kded loadModule knemod

will start knemo under kde4, taken that (e.g. kdebase3) the neccesary kde3 libraries are installed.

i created a shellscript containing this:


#!/bin/bash

sleep 10
dcop kded kded loadModule knemod

placed in ~/bin, made it executable, and added it to the startup module of kde4 in its systemsettings.

KNemo has been ported to KDE4. An x86_64 package for KDE 4.2 and openSUSE 11.1 is available at
http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/su...0.1.x86_64.rpm. If you need a 32 bit package, you could try rebuilding the src.rpm at http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/su....1-0.1.src.rpm. It seems to be working well for me here.
