neilinoz Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 (edited) These have got to be two of the most useful toys in KDE. I used them quite a lot when I was on Mdk 9.1, Since migrating to 10.0 and 10.1, they disappeared from my list of toys. Then whilst perusing the "install software", I noticed a toys package for KDE that included them. So I downloaded it. With both Tea cooker and moonphase, all you do is open the program and they automatically appear on the panel at the bottom of the screen - that's what they did in 9.1. When I start them now, they do not appear at all... anywhere. When I go into the Gnome system monitor, however, I discover that they are running, but "sleeping". Is there any way to get these programs to run properly? I described my problem to my brother who runs KDE on Debian and he said that he had similar problems. I use KDE 3.2.

devries Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Type: rpm -qa | grep qt I get (and kteatime works) libqt3-devel-3.3.3-30.mdk10.1.thac libqt3-3.3.3-30.mdk10.1.thac qt3-common-3.3.3-30.mdk10.1.thac You can forget about libqt-devel but you should have the others (libqt and qt-common). Else try to update your qt packages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilinoz Posted October 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 (edited) Solved - no thanks to you lot! It was a simple problem - I had removed the System Tray applet from the bottom panel. As soon as I put it back on the panel, Teacooker and Moonphase and other KDE goodies came back. Here's how I did it: 1. Right click on bottom panel 2. Click on "Add"---> "Applet"---> "System Tray" 3. Go to the start menu and click on Teacooker and/or Moonphase 4. The icons appear in the System Tray I removed a number of items from the System Tray that I don't use - Korganizer and others. You right-click on them and click "quit". It will then ask you if you want it taken off the start-up menu. I'm actually not mad at all. :D I have been helped enormously by this forum in the past. Keep it up guys!
