weather gdesklet does not retrieve weather data
On my big Mac Desktop I have a weather widget that tells me the weather for the week. I love this handy tool so I looked for something similar in Ubuntu for my laptop, and found "gdesklets," which seemed very promising. At first I had trouble getting gdesklets itself to work, but by looking around I found I could get it to run and show up in the applications folder by typing "gdesklets shell" in terminal. Now everything works fine, except...well, the weather is not actually displayed! It just says "N/A" down the whole list of weather parameters. (This is when I use "SideCandy weather ver .3.) I also tried LTCandy weather desklet and the same thing happens, says "retrieval failed" and gives the same N/A result. I tried the other two desklets listed--same thing. So...there appears to be some kind of retrieving error. :-P
I'm sorry I can't give more technical info--I'm not a programmer or anything, I Just got sick of windows and wanted to put my money where my mouth was for a change. Anyone have any idea how to get this working?
