Trying to use the lcd weather applet and encountering loss of
configuration every time I restart kde, either by reboot or
logout/login. When I leave (logout or shutdown), the lcd is showing the
correct city and data. But, after restart, it shows the word "Loading"
in the lcd.

I've looked at ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-appletsrc and see that my city
is correctly listed, as well as the rest of the stuff.

[Containments][3][Applets][16]
geometry=1626,6,32,32
immutability=1
plugin=weatherstation
zvalue=0

[Containments][3][Applets][16][Configuration]
updateWeather=30
windFormat=0

[Containments][3][Applets][16][Configuration][x00]
ion=

[Containments][3][Applets][16][Configuration][<snipped city name>]
ion=noaa

[Containments][3][Applets][16][Shortcuts]
global=Meta+W

To try to fix it, I right click and select Settings, then in the popup I
notice the "Select data source" has changed from my setting of noaa to
bbc weather, and under data source it shows a blank line above my city
name. If I click to hi-light my city name and hit ok, it still says
"loading". I notice it has erased my city from the config file.

Now when I reopen the Settings, my city listing is missing altogether.
I have to reselect noaa and my city name to get it working again. It's
crazy.

Anyone have this working correctly or any ideas what to try?

TIA

It's working for me, but I use bbc weather - so I guess it isn't loading the data source on startup. bbc weather is probably the default.

Thanks for the feedback. Now that I know it's not one of the unfinished
features, I'll add it to bugs.kde.org.

Actually I fixed this by deleting and recreating my ~/.kde ~/.qt
~/.config ~/.local .. not sure which one was the problem, but now it
starts properly.

I read somewhere that many problems with plasmoids could be related to
there configuration files when upgrading the plasmoids and deleting
the config file fixes that. A program should see if its config file is
for an older version and upgrade it.

I have been trying to get the weather applet to show in KDE 4.2 and the previous version. I went to the forum but received no answer. Could some one please help me?* at times I get the data window but it will take no City/Station selection.

Thank you very much.

I didn't know kde had one. I am using the plugin for gkrellm, and that
continued to work well after I upgraded from f8 to f10 here. So you might
want to look into that. It cycles through the data in a one line display, or
in kde-4.2 hovering the mouse over it pops up the full report from the local
airport, in my case about 18 miles away.

Excellent observation, too bad they haven't studied it.
