YAWP Question for my lappy! [SOLVED]

[MoonRise]

OK. Same install media was used but then again YAWP comes from the repos after install. Anyway, on my desktop YAWP works but can't set the units. On the laptop you can't set the units and also when you first pick a city and you exit out for it to update you can see it populate the various fields with the data but just after it finishes all field (numerical) revert to "0". Log out and back in, "0". Remove YAWP and reset and it does the same thing, "0". Both systems are 64 bit, see sig below. Anybody else with such behaviour? Also, any reason why the units can't be set? Normally I'd grab what ROG131 has in his PPA but he does not have it for 10.10. Anyone?

Maybe not > Bug #636338: yawp doesn't display any data

Turning the proposed on ( > FAQ: Repositories).

Updating the package database and updating the YAWP.

Re: YAWP Question for my lappy!

Great example there!

Thanks!! That fix works. Read the Bug report and that was the issue I was having. 10.10 is doing very well for my laptop. I was able to get the ATI driver to work this time without Desktop Effects wanting to cut off. So now the HDMI port seems to work better. Yea!
