      thomaslemmens Linux LMMS installations require Wine

      Please let me know it works if you add Wine to your install, then I will add that as a depend to lmms.

        I failed to load a vst plugin (windows 32, win 64 or linux) neither in Lmms nor in Qtractor.
        I've no idea why, I can only guess.

        Maybe a compile option is missing.

        The Qtractor manual list as one of the optional packages VST-SDK - Steinberg’s Virtual Studio Technology plugin format. The manual asks us to 'note that Qtractor can still use most VST plugins when using the included VeSTige reverse-engineered VST headers instead http://www.steinberg.net/'

        Maybe in Lmms there is an issue because wine is called in Kaos by 'wine64' and not 'wine'

        Maybe I did something wrong without knowing it.

        demm ok to start a poll, but maybe add megasync and nextclod/owncloud together is the best way. I saw the price for these service for a year:
        Megasync 400Gb or 2Tb 50€/100€
        Nextcloud 100Gb or 200Gb 54€/108€
        Pcloud 500Gb or 2Tb 50€/100€
        Gdrive 100Gb or 200Gb or 2Tb 20€/30€/100€

        but, Gdrive is built in plasma, Pcloud is an electron app. Just download and it works. Nextcloud have a very full service (calendar, mail, ecc) and megasync makes packages for a lot of distro. (great support for GNU/Linux).
        My 2cents.

          How about active window control widget for plasma?

            [deleted]
            Active window control is installed from adding graphic elements. Right click on the panel, add graphic elements, get new graphic elements and download new elements, search for Active Window Control in the window that appears and install.

                        hi Demm,

                        I just discovered BashTop, a really cool system monitoring thing written entirely in Bash, see here:
                        https://www.linuxuprising.com/2020/04/bashtop-is-cool-linux-resource-monitor.html

                        It depends on core packages we already have in KaOS (this is the PKGBUILD for Arch):

                        # Maintainer: Sébastien Luttringer

pkgname=bashtop
pkgver=0.8.15
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc='Linux resource monitor'
arch=('any')
url="https://github.com/aristocratos/bashtop"
license=('Apache')
depends=('bash' 'coreutils' 'grep' 'sed' 'gawk' 'procps-ng')
makedepends=('git')
optdepends=(
  'curl: themes download'
  'lm_sensors: cpu temperatures'
)
source=("git+https://github.com/aristocratos/bashtop.git#tag=v$pkgver")
sha256sums=('SKIP')

package() {
	cd $pkgname
	install -Dm755 bashtop -t "$pkgdir/usr/bin"
}

                        I would love to see this one added, since it would take very little extra package space to get part of default KaOS. What do you think?

                        If it's a bad idea, let me know, I'll add it on KCP...

                        Cheers,
                        Gunther

                          BashTop, Very nice.:

                          demm I would like to see glabels added. It would help those who need to label CDs/DVDs and to generate Jewel Case inserts. The latest version can also make Bar Codes. Someone compiled it for me before, but I have lost it.
