Can't get kweather to show my area's weather

eantoranz · 06-02-2006, 02:56 PM

I have just installed kweather.

In "Servicio de Meteorología" (Meteorology Service) I have already added my city's item: Maracaibo - La Chinita, VE.

But on "Visualización" (Visualization), in "Opciones de Estación Meteorológica" (Meteorological Station Options), the "Ubicación" (Placement) combo is empty as my brains. It says "Unknown Station" and I don't get to write anything there. The help says I have to introduce the four-letter ICAO code and that there's a link that I can follow... but I don't see a place where I can input anything... and of course, the applet is displaying a nice "?" over some clouds.

What am I missing here?

This is a known bug in KDE >3.4 (I think, don't nail me
down on an exact version number). As a work around
try to add some random stations that work, add your
own, add some more, and in the end remove the ones
you don't want. Worked on my wifes computer. :}
(After a couple of iterations, anyway - nasty, but hey).

Cheers,
