Description-de:.... Das Miniprogramm wurde
 exklusiv für KDE Plasma Workspaces geschrieben und wird in anderen
 Umgebungen vermutlich nicht funktionieren.  

en: This miniprogram was exclusivly written for  KDE Plasma Workspaces and will probably not work in other environments.        

But maybe worth a try anyways.

EDIT: After being lucky now to get razorqt installed by my 5th try...  :oops:

So I've tried NM and network-manager-kde now. Installing works, but I don't get it to run. Maybe I'm to stupid to configure NM without a GUI... No network settings in razor-settings or Qt-settings found.
I also couldn't find a possibility to integrate the plasma-widget.
Searching KDE-Homepage I could find a 'KNetworkManager' app.
But it depends on KDE 3.5 and NM 0.6x...

no auto network configuration (eth0 dhcp) (live cd)

works for me

no usb automount (installed on hdd)

there is no automount (yet), but a notifier for removable devices, that prompts you to mount a device, once connected.

gparted is missing

my fault, through messing with the package lists, it got thrown out for rqt.

suggest: + digital clock in panel (always seeable)

good idea
next release of rqt, based on soon to come razor-qt 0.5 should be a bit more polished.

Tested again
siduction-12.1.5-razorqt-razor-qt-i386-201205282239 booted from usb stick

Zu network:
It is a Notebook with tg3. In messages it appear
10 seconds after tg3 entries there is the line

ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready

As said: Starting it with ceni is working without problems


usb automount
in messages line sdc attached SCSI removable disk appears (and the details from stick before)
but no popup (and no automount)


gparted: will there be a gui alternative then? (only asking, dont plan to reinstall )

Hello,

since a few days we've a new version of razorqt in our siduction repo. Please feel free to test it and discuss here about things, which are good for you and such, which could be better :-)

Kind regards,
  Holger

I would like to try Razor QT but for the moment the only pc I can use is running a fully up to date Sidux, would it be safe to add Siduction repros just to install Razor then # them.

Thanks

[devil]

It would not be unsafe, at least I see no problem. If you just install razor-qt, things should be dandy.

Has anyone else tested 0.5? I don't see any improvements compared to 0.4...

[devil]

yes, quite a lot, specialy in respect to making it more feature complete.

Well, there's a notes widget... ok...
The menu still has a too narrow border and has cut icons when bigger than 22, icons reach into text. The icons on the desktop and in the panel still are not resizable as it seems. Are there *visible* improvements?

Visible for me is only that the panel now doesn't show the active widgets in its context menu anymore (no improvement) and that the (desktop) menu even opens when I click on an icon on the desktop (also no improvement).

Thanks devil, I now have it installed and I have to say my first impression is that of  disappointment. . It doesn't seem to offer anything much over basic Openbox.
