kweather

[Phil Mullane]

To All--

I am about to unsubscribe just because of the sheer volume of mail I am getting.  However, before I go, I want to thank you all for all the help you have been and all I have learned.  I now have a double setup of Kubuntu 5.10 and SuSE 10.0, and they both work GREAT!  Linux is the best.  Who needs MS anymore!

Thanks,

Phil

    Mine also is tempermental.  It occasionally adds an empty city to the 
    list and selects it as the default, then complains it can't get an
    update and shows weather from Dec 2002.  But, just now I was able to
    add a city and select it as default, and it's working.  It's a goofy
    bug. 

    Probably, best advice is don't give up on it .. it may correct itself
    like mine did.  I'm not sure whether a reboot makes a difference, but
    I just happened to between these errors.

    regards,
