1. Description
==============

Easy Monitor is set of SuperKaramba themes and simple bash scripts
for various applications from information to backup, downloading
and installation of even entire Linux distributions.
Any of these themes you can edit and configure by lock its position and click on top frame of it.
Most of scripts you can edit and configure by click on corresponding configure script button.
My idea to give users very fast and easy access to change and fix code.
Most of those bash scripts for tools can be used independently.
So you can suit it to your system.

Can't find superkaramba package. Try install it manually !

Superkaramba is considered to be "legacy" and some new distros don't provide it
in standard repos. So you have to look for it on your own.

sudo rpm -U http://mirrors.vbi.vt.edu/mirrors/linux/opensuse/discontinued/update/13.2/i586/superkaramba-4.14.3-4.2.i586.rpm
sudo rpm -U http://mirrors.vbi.vt.edu/mirrors/linux/opensuse/discontinued/update/13.2/i586/superkaramba-14.12.3-16.1.i586.rpm

Example: install .deb package files

(
if [[ "${arch_type}" = *"64"* ]]
then :
	arch_type="amd64.deb"
else :
	arch_type="i386.deb"
fi

wget -O $HOME/plasma-scriptengine-superkaramba_4.14.2-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~ppa1_${arch_type} http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/import/s/superkaramba/plasma-scriptengine-superkaramba_4.14.2-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~ppa1_${arch_type}
[ $? = 0 ] && { sudo dpkg -i $HOME/plasma-scriptengine-superkaramba_4.14.2-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~ppa1_${arch_type} ;}
)

Example: install .pkg.tar.xz package files

(
wget -O $HOME/qimageblitz-0.0.6-5-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz http://archlinux.arkena.net/archive/packages/q/qimageblitz/qimageblitz-0.0.6-5-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz
[ $? = 0 ] && { sudo pacman -U $HOME/qimageblitz-0.0.6-5-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz ;}

wget -O $HOME/libkactivities4-4.13.3-3-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz http://archlinux.arkena.net/archive/packages/l/libkactivities4/libkactivities4-4.13.3-3-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz
[ $? = 0 ] && { sudo pacman -U $HOME/libkactivities4-4.13.3-3-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz ;}


wget -O $HOME/kdebase-runtime-17.08.3-3-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz http://archlinux.arkena.net/archive/packages/k/kdebase-runtime/kdebase-runtime-17.08.3-3-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz
[ $? = 0 ] && { sudo pacman -U $HOME/kdebase-runtime-17.08.3-3-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz ;}

wget -O $HOME/kdeutils-superkaramba-15.08.3-2-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz http://archlinux.arkena.net/archive/packages/k/kdeutils-superkaramba/kdeutils-superkaramba-15.08.3-2-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz
[ $? = 0 ] && { sudo pacman -U $HOME/kdeutils-superkaramba-15.08.3-2-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz ;}
)

For example: superkaramba-15.08.3-1.1.x86_64.rpm package works on Sabayon.
After downloading a package that seems to be match for your system, you can try
simply unpack package and even copy files/folders from unpack archive as them
belong into your file system as $root.
Then run superkaramba from konsole and look for missing dependencies..
Missing libs can be in different tree - lib - lib64.

( probably you will need kdebase-runtime, libknewstuff2 or libkactivities, qimageblitz or libqimageblitz )
