Description G.Wolfe Woodbury 2012-10-22 22:46:14 UTC
Somewhere between 2.0.7 and 2.0.8 gkrellweather stopped displaying the air.temperature value correctly. It is locked on "+84" no matter what station or actual temperature is reported from the net.

The only differences between a working version (2.0.7   2.0.7r1 shows the bug) and 2.0.8  is an internal change from sprintf() to snprintf().  The only other significant change in the system was upgrading gcc.

The information is coming in properly, and clicking through the available displays shows correct data in all other fields.  I have also re-emerged all relevant GKrellM packages.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install GKrellM
2. install gkrellweather and configure it (for KRDU)
3.
Actual Results:  
The temperature/humidity display is frozen to "+85 F   37%"
the rest of the gkweather displays are correct, and all other krells are correct

Expected Results:  
Should see current conditions as retrieved from NOAA.

Gkrellm 2.3.x (now in use) does not display this bug.
Closing as obsolete
