Missing "org.kde.kirigami" version 2.10

[canejj]

Hi,

I installed your app and I see the option "Dynamic" in the "Configure Desktop" dialog of Plasma5, but then when I select it, I get the error message in the attachments and nothing works. Any idea of why? I know "org.kde.kirigami" to be installed and I am on Debian 10, Linux MX 19 distro, with the KDE Plasma 5 desktop environment installed.

Moreover is there any way to run your applet through the terminal somehow? Because I didn't find any proper way, yet...

Thanks in advance!

What version of Kirigami do you have on your system?

Moreover is there any way to run your applet through the terminal somehow?

Nope, the idea was that you select "Dynamic" in the combobox and after that everything "just works."

[zzag]

Can you please test 53a4b3a?

[canejj]

Now, it works in that it doesn't show any error message anymore.

Thanks for fixing that up!

However, it doesn't seems to be able to show any wallpaper... all what I ever get is a pitch black background...

[zzag]

Could you provide a screenshot?

[canejj]

With what exactly? Everything's just pitch black... and for the configuration, I just kept it default.

[zzag]

Hmm, this is odd... The default wallpaper doesn't have a preview image. You should see something like this

Could you please run plasmashell --replace from command line and post its output here?

[zzag]

Heh, I overlooked one import. Could you please test e91df19?

[canejj]

Sure, plasmashell says:

I tested again and now it looks like this: I can see the default picture being shown in the dialog, but not set as wallpaper.. which still pitch black.

[canejj]

Addionally when I launch plasmashell and I activate the dialog to select your wallpaper changer, I get this: *`file:///usr/share/plasma/wallpapers/com.github.zzag.wallpaper/contents/ui/config.qml:46: ReferenceError: parentLayout is not defined file:///usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml/QtQuick/Controls.2/org.kde.desktop/ComboBox.qml:137:29: Unable to assign [undefined] to QQmlComponent file:///usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml/QtQuick/Controls.2/org.kde.desktop/ToolTip.qml:45: TypeError: Cannot read property 'hovered' of null "file:///usr/share/plasma/wallpapers/com.github.zzag.wallpaper/contents/ui/main.qml" "Error loading QML file.\n43: Type WallpaperView unavailable\n128: Expected token :'\n" `**

[zzag]

"Error loading QML file.\n43: Type WallpaperView unavailable\n128: Expected token :'\n"

What version of Qt do you have installed on your system? (please say it's >= 5.12)

file:///usr/share/plasma/wallpapers/com.github.zzag.wallpaper/contents/ui/config.qml:46: ReferenceError: parentLayout is not defined

Urgh, that's what I was afraid of.

[zzag]

Could you please test b926c96? I think everything should work now (well, except parentLayout thing).

[canejj]

Yes, now it seems to be working accordingly!

Thing is I would need to use the .json file with the time change and not the longitude & latitude..

Is there a better way to do that other than having to count all the seconds since the start of the day and divide that by 86400, which is admittedly not the most natural way to think?

[zzag]

You could use a Python script for that purpose

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import argparse

from dateutil import parser as datetime_parser

argument_parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
argument_parser.add_argument('input', type=str)
arguments = argument_parser.parse_args()

datetime = datetime_parser.parse(arguments.input)
midnight = datetime.replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0, microsecond=0)

print((datetime - midnight).total_seconds() / 86400)

Example usage

~
❯ chmod +x convert-time.py 

~
❯ ./convert-time.py '10:44 AM'
0.44722222222222224

~
❯ ./convert-time.py '10:44 PM'
0.9472222222222222

Edit: I wrote the python script in less than two minutes, so no error checking and all that good stuff.

Alternatively, you could use https://dynamicwallpaper.club/ to create a heic dynamic wallpaper and then use dynamic-wallpaper-importer.

[zzag]

and not the longitude & latitude..

Small correction: with "solar" dynamic wallpapers, you have to provide position of the Sun, which is elevation + azimuth. ;-)
