I think I have the extra apps loaded for xfce, but the weather app
searching for something near Schenectady NY just says "Searching" and
does nothing visible. FC17 found a station on Libarty St, three blocks
from me, which updates frequently. What did I forget to install?

I noticed that fc17 had libgweather installed, so I added it in case the
dependency was missed. No change. So either the applet is broken or they
are using a much smaller list, or it's broken. Before I submit a bug,
I'll ask here if I'm just doing it wrong.

Heya,

'xfce4-weather-plugin' is libweather.so[1] per se :)
Grasp the code from git[2], it should work.

I'm cc'ing Christoph[3] regarding package update[4].


Cheers,

[1] rpm -q --provides xfce4-weather-plugin
[2] git clone git://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin

After looking at the package git gives me, I find that I have no BUILD
environment for fc18 yet, I'm doing laptops and desktops first. So at
the moment I'll have to put this off for at least a few weeks. Many
thanks for your help!

There are three settings for Schenectady, NY:

loc_name=Schenectady, Schenectady County
lat=42.814243
lon=-73.939569

loc_name=Schenectady, New York
lat=42.809545
lon=-74.021672

loc_name=Schenectady, Liberty Street
lat=42.814491
lon=-73.942709

Put one of these three in ~/.config/xfce4/panel/weather-*.rc:
$ xfce4-panel -q && mousepad ~/.config/xfce4/panel/weather-*.rc &&
xfce4-panel &
Use Alt-Tab ;)

Cheers,

I actually copied the fc17 config, called weather-17.rc, to the fc18 config, called weather-11.rc, and that resulted in a functional weather applet. I take that back, an applet which gives me what I want. Another user entering Boston got "Searching" and not doing anything obvious, no cpu, disk, or network activity. I really think this is broken, will do a bug on it unless someone else has done so.

I just logged out and back in, your panel restart w/o logout is a trick I saved but didn't really felt necessary, login is down at the "just happens" level already.

Thanks for the pointer to the workaround!
