Description: This shows your location, using kde's geolocation data engine.
Todo: My Gps is not really working in kubuntus kde, so I only have ip-based location to test with.Last changelog:
0.15 -> 0.16 - using geolocation data engine now: No longer should the plasmoid crash the whole plasma if gpsd does not respond. - Reduced Functionality: No longer Altitude, direction and speed are shown.
0.13 -> 0.15 - fixed a bug that caused errors to be printed on stdout, with possibly more consequences
0.12 -> 0.13: - removed backup files from the archive - removed some trailing spaces - added unit to altitude
Hello Exilant:
I have installed this plasmoid, but it doesn't work, because I don't have python-gps, and I can't find it for Fedora 11. Do you know how is it called for Fedora?
Thanks,
Germán.
Hi, thank you for your interest. Unfortunately I cannot help you, I never used fedora. However, python-gps has its own set of problems (opening a socket to get data from a local daemon is somehow wrong), and I hope the geolocation data engine made it into kde 4.3.
I'll look into it once I get a working install :)
