papaschtroumpf Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 (edited) I haven't seen it. I'll search for it though, thanks for the tip. The author's site is offline. Does anyone have an rpm for it? Edited September 1, 2004 by papaschtroumpf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 I believe it is available from cooker or maybe on one of your cd's as well. Assuming you've added cooker as root: urpmi gkrellm-plugins This will give you the weather plugin as well some other useful ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaschtroumpf Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Nice. Thanks. They need to come up with a version of urpmi that reads your mind to figure what it is you need and goes and get it :P I guess I'll keep asking on this board until then!

papaschtroumpf Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 (edited) (this message was edited since I found the ansser to my question in my own) For those using this thread as a guide, you need to restart grkellm after installing the pluggins with urpmi. It didn't feel natural to me but you first need to "place" the plugin into the stack, then you need to go back to the grkellm configuration to where you can now select the plugin to configure it. To configure it go to http://www.nws.noaa.gov/tg/siteloc.shtml to get the station ID of the weather station closets to you and enter it in the required field. Pretty simple but no forecast, so I may still have to look into liquid-weather++ and superkaramba. Also messing around with grkellm there is a setting so that it doesn't appear in the taskbar and another one to make it not appear in the pager: this strenghens the illusion that's it's built in the background (by using the "invisible" theme), or simply frees a spot in the taskbar.
