YAWP [SOLVED]
« on: January 05, 2013, 09:14:52 PM »
Stupid quesiton, and i regret that I do not know more about where things are stored in the file system....


But, I installed YAWP from the repos, but it does not show up in my list of available Plasmoids when I try to add it.  I can add it manually, but I am not sure where plasmoids are placed within the file system.  Google has been of no help.  

Thanks in advance.

If I remember correctly, YAWP can be found in the widgets under KDE. I used to have it in use but haven't bothered lately.

Assuming you are using KDE, right click on the panel at the bottom of the screen > unlock widgets (if it is locked) > panel options > panel settings. Click on Add Widgets and then drag the little bar, at the bottom left of the screen, to the right. If YAWP is installed on your machine, it should appear right towards the end. You can then click on it to make it usable.

Good luck.

Right click on the panel or the desktop and select Unlock Widgets (if locked) and then Add Widgets
yaWP is under the "Environment and Weather" category. Once you locate it, double click on it and it will be added on your panel or your desktop.

Whoops, sorry, I should have been more clear. 

YAWP is not in the list of plasmoids to add, despite it being installed.  But, you can add widgets manually by finding the plasmoid file in the file system.  I just do not know where KDE stores its widgets.

During an update I lost it a while ago.
(re)Installed it from Synaptic lately and recreated my weather plasmoid from the Add Widgets.
Found traces of yawp in  ;)

When I need to look for something - open a terminal and type locate <file>
May need to  run updatedb as root first.

I got:
[earl@old ~]$ locate yawp
/home/earl/.cache/yawp
/home/earl/.cache/yawp/accuweather_Warren_PA.dat
/usr/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_yawp.so
/usr/share/apps/desktoptheme/default/widgets/yawp_theme15.svg
/usr/share/kde4/services/plasma-applet-yawp.desktop
...

So look in:
/usr/share/kde4/services/
for your plasma app
