If we set location for the widget it is lost after system reboot and thus widget show only dummy icon without any weather data. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add widget 2. Select location 3. Reboot system Actual Results: Location configuration is lost after reboot Expected Results: Location shoudl be always available after it was configured.
Is the configuration completely lost, or will the widget show information again after the first update interval (see bottom of "Weather Station" config page) has passed? Is your device connected to the internet when Plasma is started, or is the connection only made during that start?
It is lost. There are no any signs of it beeing restored. I will test more with cable connection also as not im using LTE (usb modem with sim). So when i boot my system modem needs ~ 2-3 min. to connect but when rebooting it is usually active at start.
One issue that I currently know about is: if the widget is loaded and there is no network connection at that point, the widget will be blank. And if the network connection is established, that sadly does not trigger an immediate pull of the data. Only at the next data update intervall the data will be fetched then. (Good news here, I have a patch prepared which seems to properly trigger an immediate update now). Still, all the settings of the widget should still be present. Can you please check in the settings dialog of the widget both in the pages "Weather Station" and "Units" if the values are the same that you set before the reboot? The values for "Location", "Update every:", and the units? So "It is lost" refers to data displayed in the widget itself, or also in the settings of the widget?

Arch user here. I have not yet current Plasma 5.7 update so I'm not sure if it's already fixed but I'd like to throw ma 0,02 cents. In my case when I start my computer there is ethernet connection established but with no access to outside world due to my company policy. Only after I login company firewall gives me access to internet. I've found that the problem only happens on my workstation were I have to deal with firewall, but at home I also use Arch on laptop and there it works flawlessly.
