Farenheit is the default. If you want Celcius, use -metric or -m. Also, pressing any key toggles Farenheit/Celcius.

Mine does, but still SuSE 8.1. There are no settings that I know of. It appears to take it's config from Locale ???

Eh?? We're talking kweather here....... not wmweather. (which doesn't appear to work under KDE)

I have it on my desttop, but the window is quite small. It will toggle between english/metric if you give it mouse focus and make any keystroke from the keyboard. wmweather -station KIND Works for me.

Consider yourself lucky then. I got it to fire up under Windowmaker but I haven't seen hide nor hair of it under KDE.

Yep, I remember you said that but nothing shows on the K-bar nor in alt-tab.

Start it in a console and see if you get an error ?? -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org

I was about to ask you what your screen resolution is (thinking it might be screen related) but as I said before, it does run under WM. I did see this in ps aux: root 6167 3481 0 11:12 ttyp8 00:00:00 /usr/X11R6/bin/wmweather -s KDTW root 6169 1 0 11:12 ttyp8 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/X11R6/bin/ wmWeather-GrabWeather KDTW root 6170 6169 0 11:12 ttyp8 00:00:00 wget --proxy=off --passive-ftp --tries 0 -q -O /root/.wmWeatherReports/KDTW.TXT ftp://weather.noaa.gov/data/ observations/metar/decoded/KDTW.TXT Which shows it going for the wx, and then after about 30 seconds it turns to: root 6167 3481 0 11:12 ttyp8 00:00:00 /usr/X11R6/bin/wmweather -s KDTW So it is sitting there doing it's thing... unless for some reason it didn't get the weather but there were no error msgs. Oh well... kweather works just fine. Thanks for the suggestions. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

On 8.2 KDE 3.1.3 I start it in console and it is invisable, but when I look on the kbar window list it is there and if I then l-click it in the list it shows up about 1/2 inch square in the far upper left corner; almost invisable since it is on top of an icon. wmweather that is. Kweather works fine and does respond to control panel regionalization.

on your kbar, click on a balnk space -> add-> applet-> Kweather.

mine doesn't seem to have teh choice of F or C not in 8.2 nor 9.0 Still, it does have nice pictures ..that do give hints, <VBG>

Although the subject did not indicate, the discussion had wandered from kweather to wmweather. Your method _is_ valid, but for kweather. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org

Hi all, Well a couple of days ago I have seen some posts about huge fonts on KDE ... I have this problem ... but unfortunately I deleted the mails ... I bought a 21" monitor just to have a nice 1600*1200 resolution, but with the huge fonts KDE is using it seems more like a 800*600 screen ! ;-) Can someone tellme how to solve (again) this problem ? Cheers Benoit Ballester

didn't know the existence of archive ! cheers! James Ogley wrote:

Why not look through the archives at http://lists.suse.com rather than asking a question that you say yourself was asked only a few days ago, and answered?

Where do I find Kweather? I am running SuSE8.1 pro, but I can't find it on my DVD. wmweather works though.

Mine did too... and I had the brilliant stroke in the middle of the night that "gee, there must be something in the control center to set items like weights, temps, measures, etc..." but I can't find anything.

The interesting thing is that mine showed F too until I decided to blow away my ~/.kde directory and rebuild yesterday. And when I set up kweather on the panel, it's showing C and millibars...

I still have my old .kde directory and there must be a clue in there somewhere, but I haven't found it....

Still looking.

There sure is. Control Panel Regional & Accessibility Country/Region & Language Other (tab) Then look at Measure system: It can be Metric or Imperial. You must logout before the change will take effect, but it does work properly once you do that. -- Kelly L. Fulks Home Account near Huntsville, AL

Thanks. --

What I ended up having to do was going into KDE Control Center and clicking on Regional & Accessibility and then Country/Region & Language and set the country drop down menu to United States of America (where I live and I see you do too) before I did that it was just blank.

Wow.... thank you! I went through the control center this morning but I sure missed that section. Makes sense!
