Hi,

i want to use some plugins for my gkrellm. I already emered some of them but when in want to activate them in the Configuration Context, there is an install log which says

/usr/lib/gkrellm2/plugins/.keep
Error: /usr/lib/gkrellm2/plugins/.keep: file too short

What can i do to fix this and to get some plugins running.

Thanks for your help.

I'm getting this same error as well, and i don't know how to fix it.

However, you can stick the plugin in your ~/.gkrellm2/plugins directory. Just put the .so file in there and restart gkrellm2.

I am not really sure how it works but the .keep must be scanned by glrellm and since it's a 0 size file, it will give you an error.
The easiest way is just to delete that .keep file. It won't do any harm. There is a thread around there which defines that file, it's related to portage.
