One could do that, but a handy session of mc just
copied /usr/share/gkrellm/* (which is where grabweather was installed by
the deb pkg)to /usr/local/share/gkrellm/*
so I'll see if that fixes it shortly. Yes, it did, THANK YOU Ulf.
FWIW, I have not seen the error in the logs either. Who is supposed to
own these files? And what perms are expected.
Frankly, someones paranoia has made it impossible for anything I install
to make and write to a log file in /var/log/ and I had to jump thru all
sorts of perms loops to let even some of the stuff from the initial
install actually keep logs. Its been such a pita that for stuff thats
mine, I've moved the logs, and logrotates recipe's, to a log subdir in
my home directory. Solves all them critters in one swell foop. I would
do that to gkrellm if it was a .conf option. Everything I moved shows
it belongs to root:root, but has enough perms, ahh, I see whatever
starts and stops it is writeing to daemon.log. But not finding the
weather plugin is never mentioned there. I don't believe anything that
turn up in a grep -R query actually came from gkrellm.
But now its working, and I thank you very much.
