Right, but I don't have a problem with that, what with Kubuntu being my distro of choice and all.
Nope. Sorry.
Go back and look at the screenshots I've posted of downloading/installing Chrome and Skype on my Chromebook. The *exact* same model Chromebook you have--and that you had trouble with when installing those two apps. How on earth can my almost-30-years of *nix experience affect selecting a file from a site and clicking on it to install it? 
As far as I know, no. If it's the same model number--and ours definitely are, according to what you and I have both posted--I'd imagine all its specs are the same.
Hmmmm...I thought you did... :hmmmm:
I agree.
I don't know. As I've said, I've never, ever had a window$ version of anything download [or attempt to download] when I've selected a Linux version. Anything's possible, so a glitch at Google isn't out of the question. Keep in mind that everything we see and do online has actual PEOPLE behind it! Programmers and administrators whose tasks include things like making sure the right file is linked to its choice on a web page. Perhaps someone screwed up. I know *I* have never...and I mean NEVER!!, screwed anything up in my programming/system administration. (And if you believe that, oh do I have some nice land to sell you. :rofl
)
Oh, I like the sound of that! Please post an update after you've experimented.
Is yawp the weather widget for KDE? I can't never get any weather thingy to work for me. I'm at work now but will check it out again when I get home in the morning and post the type of issue I'm having.Well, here's a [really very] minor issue that has me scratching my head. :hmmmm2:
My favorite weather widget is yaWP. I'm sitting here looking at my HP dv7 and my Acer Chromebook, both of which have yaWP in their taskbars. Their settings are identical. But look at their displays on mouse-over:
HP dv7
Acer Chromebook
The only difference is their version numbers, 0.4.1 (HP) and 0.4.2 (Acer). However, that shouldn't account for the missing map; if you look at yaWP's page at kde-look.org, its newest version clearly still includes the map. I see nothing in its changelog for 0.4.2 about removing the satellite image.
Any ideas? (Other than the obvious: install the latest version! I'll do that...at some point.
Strange. I wonder what's up.
I don't think mine look outdated:
I've never tried to do that, and you know how I like a challenge!, but right now...just not up for it.
Ok I tried adding yawp to the bottom panel by double clicking the widget icon. I'm not sure what happen but all the icons (clock, notify, time/date) on the right hand side moved all the way over the left hand side on panel, and I have no idea where yawp went. I couldn't figure out how to move those icons back to the right side.
That's happened to me before, too. Annoying, for sure, but not a big deal. Right-click on the taskbar (panel) or click on its little yellow cashew icon (on the far right). This will bring up the panel settings bar--and if you move your pointer over the items in your taskbar, you'll see it's now a...well, crap, I don't know what to call it, but it's not your usual pointer! When it's over an item you want to move, just drag the item and drop it where you want it. Repeat as necessary until everything's back where they belong. When you're done, exit from the settings panel to be back to normal.Ok I tried adding yawp to the bottom panel by double clicking the widget icon.

I ended up moving .kde4 with a new name and logged out and back in to get a fresh panel.
Help with this plz!
Wait...did you drag it to the place on your panel you want it? That's how I do mine. I've never double-clicked any widget--I drag/drop it where I want it in my panel.
It's probably there, but needs its settings adjusted. Take your pointer and move slowly over the taskbar, paying attention to any tooltips that pop up. Do you see anything for yaWP? If so, right-click on it and choose "yaWP Settings," and then plunge in and start adjusting how it displays. I'll post my settings if you'd like--once we know it's actually in your panel! It can take up anywhere from a lot of room (not my cup of tea) to almost no room (yes!).
should really get with the program and update accordingly....there should just not be the infamous Lego brick when viewing a site on an iOS device now, or Android for that matter.
I double clicked it to see what would happen.
