Activating Kweather or Weather

Mon Mar 02, 2009 12:24 am
Since updating to the latest Kubuntu I cannot get the weather to work. The Icon ( a open end wrench) opens a window "LCD Weather Station Settings" but it will not accept any locations or other information beside Wind format --Miles per Hour aand update every 30 minutes. I think I had it working in the earlier versions and definitely have it in Ubuntu.
Thank you very much in advance.

I just installed it for Brisbane/Queensland/Australia & it works a treat:thumbs_up: Thanks for the heads up on this widget. So I'm sorry I cant replicate your problem.

It is likely that the weather Data Engine was not included in the update you performed recently, and is now incompatible. Please ensure your system is fully updated.

I think the kweather is obselete.:'(
I have apt-get Qt aand installed it. Took about 6 hours. I have the Ubuntu Alpha 5 installed. I have KDE 4.2 installed. I get weather in ubuntu but cannot get it in KDE (Kubuntu) :-(. I have superkaramba installed and tried to get the "Liquid Weather" with no luck. I do not know how to install the lwp-15.0.skz_FILES. I would like to stay in KDE and not switch back and forth. Any help is appreciated.
Thank You.

There is an alternate weather applet, which will provide forecasts called "Weather Forecast" present on my Trunk installation. It is likely that it has been packaged by someone using Debian.
