Description Fdor 2015-07-07 17:45:54 UTC 
I have upgraded fedora 20 to fedora 22, so kde 4 has been upgraded to kde 5. After the upgrade, I see that knemo doesn't appear at "kde system settings" (systemsettings5). Perhaps it is because knemo is compiled with kde 4 libraries, and probably systemsettings5 is compiled with kde 5 libraries. Could knemo be compiled with kde 5 libraries, in order to appear at systemsettings5?

Since I couldn't setup knemo at systemsettings5, I launched the "knemo" command manually in a shell, then the knemo icon appeared at systray as usual, and I configured it to be launched automatically at kde start (with a right click on the icon, and then click on "Setup knemo"). To test it, I logged out and logged in, but knemo wasn't launched automatically. What is the reason? Perhaps the same reason (the use of kde 4 libs)?

As a quick fix, I have added knemo to:

    systemsettings5 > Start and shut down > Autostart > Add program

so now it is launched automatically at kde start. Anyway I think the autostart option at knemo config should be fixed.

My versions are:
    knemo-0.7.6-3.fc22.i686
    plasma-systemsettings-5.3.2-1.fc22.i686

Thank you

Work on porting knemo to KF5 started, so maybe it can be compiled for plasma 5 soon

Thank you for the info. I see in your link that the port is in progress.

I have to add that knemo (0.7.6) is working perfectly for me in kde 5 (thanks to the trick I did to launch it automatically at the startup). I think that the missing config at systemsettings5 is secondary, since the user can search for (and run) knemo from kde start menu. The main point is to fix the autostart config at knemo config, since my quick fix is a bit tricky for the standard user. 

So I would suggest, even before porting knemo to kde 5, to fix the autostart config first. I mean, perhaps it is possible that the kde 4 version of knemo could detect that it is running on kde 5 and then setup the autostart in a way that works in kde 5. From the point of view of the user, it is transparent whether knemo is compiled for kde 4 or for kde 5. The important thing is that the program works. And it works. The only missing point is the autostart config, that perhaps could be fixed without having to port the whole application to kde 5.

I mean that, if the full port takes some months, and the fix of the autostart takes some days, perhaps the second point could be prioritized.

Thank you
