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.

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 :)
