[solved] weather plugin (xfce4-weather-plugin) not working

[jpg153]

Hi,

either with the last update or maybe before, the weather plugin stopped working.

I am still running Salix 13.37 64bit.

Is this a Salix issue or XFCE?

Thanks.

Probably this again: http://forum.salixos.org/viewtopic.php? ... 06&p=18557

Hi Gapan,

well maybe.

I cannot find a way to check whether this is the reason or something else.

If it is a credits problem, my understanding is, the maintainer should enter a new licence code.
Or am I wrong on this?

It's working here

I un- and then reinstalled the plugin without effect.
There is no service available...

For the time being I dont use it, but would like to know whats wrong...

ok,

I just checked what version we have in Salix 13.37 and that one is out of date and out of service.
Version prior 0.8.0 do no longer work and are no longer supported by the developpers.
I found in the respository under 13.37 a version number below 0.8.x . (0.7.4).

Is that the reason?

I did not find the plugin in Salix 14.0x. Was it skipped?

Thanks.

Is that the reason?

Yes, according to http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel- ... her-plugin

I did not find the plugin in Salix 14.0x. Was it skipped?

No, I'm running it as I type (Salix 14.0.1). http://imagebin.org/276760

No, I'm running it as I type (Salix 14.0.1)

Well I see this, but if I look into the respositories, there is no such package...

Anyway until I upgrade to 14.0x I will not miss it. Its at least not essential for me and my life

Thanks

For 14.0 xfce4-weather-plugin is a slackware package. You can find it here:
http://download.salixos.org/x86_64/slac ... re64/xfce/
or
http://download.salixos.org/i486/slackw ... ware/xfce/

I obviously was looking in the wrong directory.

Thanks.
