I have both qt4 (/usr/share/qt4) and qt5 (/usr/share/qt5).
When I try to build I get the following error:

I think it works now. I ended up with the following cmake arguments:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DQT_QT_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/qt4 /home/dotnet/projects/opensource/kaffeinety/

Great little app. But on Kubuntu 13.10 KDE 4.12.0 it crashes. Crashes only when KeePass2 or Steam are launched. Anyway it's great. Thanks. Hope to see new versions in future.

Hi, contratulation for the great tool, but i ve a problem: on kubuntu 12.10 kde 4.9.5 in virtualbox I installed it without problem compiling the source, but when i enable it in the settings, it unfortunally doesn t work... not for chromium, not for plugin-container, not in full screen or less, not for chrome for example.....ant idea? thank you

I think it will work well when u install linux os with kde environment to the hard disk. In the Virtual machine it cant affect to power management of real-os you run VirtualBox.

Nice, thanks for your reply, on the os installed on the hard disk it works in fact; but I ve still some problem to configure it. I wrote chrome|vlc|amarok processes obtaining these effects: on flash in chrome it works just in full screen and just for the screensaver (not for the power management of the screen that it power off); in vlc it works nice in full screen and not both for screensaver and power management (indipendently by checking or unchecking "Only for app..." on the settings); with amarok it doesnt work for nothing (not full screen, not normal screen, not for screensaver, not for power management). I m a bit confused how to proceed. Thank you very much

ok, I tried the 0.0.2(beta) and unfurtunally I ve the same behavior of the first version...I dont know why...I ve read the source...is like it cant get the pid of the process target....for example, with amarok, kaffeinety doesnt work for nothing.

Very nice one! Caffeine was not being developed and this is very nice to see!!!

Could you also add an option to disable when there is a sound coming from the speakers?

For example: skype is open, but only if we are talking it should be enabled.

Also, maybe language support won't be so bad :)

Hello! I get an error when compiling:
In file included from ~/KaffeineTY/app/main.cpp:28:0:
~/KaffeineTY/app/kaffeinety.h:28:31: fatal error: ksysguard/process.h: no such file or directory

What build dependency this program has?

keluoinhac

You need install kde development files before complie KaffeineTY.
GOOGLE name of kde-dev file package for ur distro, install it and recomplie KTY.

KaffeineTY is helpful,thank you.
But I also need some help.
For example, I want run with mplayer without checking fullscreen but run with plugin-container checking fullscreen to suit KaffeineTY to disable screensaver.
Sorry for my english~

keluoinhac

Thank for ur cmt! It'll helpful for me to improve my app.
And now, you can uncheck "Only for app..." on it settings, KaffeineTY will work with both of fullscreen and non-fullscreen app. :)
