Refactor, readme rewrite

[TheArcaneBrony]

Tiny refactor:

• Remove dependency on konsole
• Remove dependency on sudo
• Rewrite and clarify readme

Resolves, aka carefully vetted list of affected issues:

• Fixes #25 (no nohup)
• Fixes #36 (almost, just need to map out dependencies and add them to install_deps)
• Fixes #37 (had been resolved by a prior PR but I use arch so if it works on my system...)
• Fixes #49 (at_startup has been removed, it serves no real purpose as it just wraps running python indicator.py)
• Fixes #63 (arch uses python-psutil from repos, script has been modified to detect based on available package managers)
• Fixes #69 (subprocesses no longer start terminals, all usages of sudo have been removed as the main process is started with sudo and passes its elevation down)
• Fixes #72 (all subprocesses now just invoke python without subprocesses such as terminals, sudo, ...)
• Fixes #78 (stub added in install_dependencies, x-terminal-emulator isn't used anymore)
• Fixes #83 (works on my system, and AUR PKGBUILD is planned)
• Fixes #91 (install_dependencies is not automatically invoked anymore)
• Fixes #92 (readme rewritten)
• Fixes #98 (all sudo calls post-startup removed, wasn't needed)
• Fixes #114 (no more konsole)
• Fixes #135 (no more root_permissions.sh, it straight up isn't needed)

Thanks @TheArcaneBrony , i was able to get this working on my system (msi gf63, pop os). The new write_EC.py file was giving me errors so i replaced it with original write_EC.py file (from @YoCodingMonster ). And few tweaks to conf.txt was needed for the Advanced window to pop up. 😇

Could you tell me what errors you were having, and what Python version your system is running?

Could you tell me what errors you were having, and what Python version your system is running?

sudo python indicator.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/user/Downloads/OpenFreezeCenter-main/write_EC.py", line 49, in <module>
    vr = get_temp_list(5)
  File "/home/user/Downloads/OpenFreezeCenter-main/write_EC.py", line 45, in get_temp_list
    vr.append(int(i))
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '3C'

• note: i didn't install any special dependencies for this in my system.
• Python 3.10.6

still it was functioning aside from 'Advanced' window (nothing happens when i click on it).

so i changed conf.txt file from this to this

mainly just replaced non-integers in the 5th line of conf.txt file . After this 'Advanced' window started to function, but when i click Apply button on 'Advanced' window it freeze . And 'indicator.py' does not launch unless i press (ctrl + c) two times after changing conf.txt file.

errors after changing the conf.txt file

  sudo python indicator.py
  ^C^CTraceback (most recent call last):
    File "/home/user/Downloads/OpenFreezeCenter-main/write_EC.py", line 27, in write_EC
      file.seek(114)
  KeyboardInterrupt

  During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/home/user/Downloads/OpenFreezeCenter-main/write_EC.py", line 66, in <module>
      write_EC(vr, battery_threshold)
    File "/home/user/Downloads/OpenFreezeCenter-main/write_EC.py", line 16, in write_EC
      with open(EC_IO_FILE, 'r+b') as file:
  KeyboardInterrupt

then i replaced it with old 'write_EC.py' . and everything started to function perfectly(when i ran it as superuser). when i run it without superuser permission it gives me permission denied errors but it works .

sorry of being late and my English
