Re: Conky help (Sorry)

Did you remember to make a ~/.conkyForecast.config file?

Re: Conky help (Sorry)

There is conkyForecast.config in /usr/share/conkyforecast -folder... Is that it? Here's what it looks like.

# config settings for conkyForecast.py
CACHE_FOLDERPATH = /tmp/
CONNECTION_TIMEOUT = 5
EXPIRY_MINUTES = 30
TIME_FORMAT = %H:%M
DATE_FORMAT = %Y-%m-%d
LOCALE =
XOAP_PARTNER_ID =
XOAP_LICENCE_KEY =

Yes, you need to follow the guide for this...you will have to sign up and get an ID and a Key.  Then put that info in that config.  After that try again, it should work if all else is correct.  You will also need your locale info, again it's in the guide for conkyweather.

I view KDE like I view snow. It looks fun and marvelous, it's fun to play in, but after a while I just want someone to take it all away.

Re: Conky help (Sorry)

GOT IT! Thanks.

Didn't know i have to register to service to get those XOAP_PARTNER_ID and XOAP_LICENCE_KEY. Also the conkyForecast.config -file was missing from my home directory. But anyway, now i got it working. Thanks for your help
