Using Mokometeo
- In the 0.2 version, there is a bug. To be able to use Mokometeo, please type theses commands before launching it:
mkdir /home/root/.mokometeo/img cp /usr/share/mokometeo/question.png /home/root/.mokometeo/img/
- You will see a window appearing, with a 4 days forecast : Today, tomorrow (J+1), the day after (J+2) , etc.
- You can use the Next and Previous buttons to change the displayed city.
- If you have no internet connection, you will have to wait a little bit, and then the window will show "question marks" and "-" as min and max temperatures
- Next time you starup Mokometeo, the last fetched data will be displayed.
Enjoy !
Configuring Mokometeo
- By default, 2 cities are configured. You can change the cities and add more in the file
~/.mokometeo/mokometeo.conf
This file must contains at minimum 2 lines. The first line is
city,url
The second and next lines is the name of the city, and the url (tested with french yahoo weather urls), for example:
Paris,http://fr.weather.yahoo.com/FRXX/FRXX0076/index_c.html
