XFCE Weather Applet fix
Bromax2:
Not sure I did this correctly. Do I put in a line of this code on at a time and hit enter? Where would it appear on desktop or in menu? Thanks.

N4RPS:
Hello!
Sometimes, XFCE Weather Applet shows 'N/A' for high temps in the forecast, and sometimes, it doesn't. Therefore, I switched over to my-weather-indicator. Unless someone knows of a better alternative, it's the best thing I can find to a good Linux weather app.
After adding the PPA and the program, the first time I tried to run it from the menu. MWI locked up, so I had to execute it in a terminal:
--- Code: --- /opt/extras.ubuntu.com/my-weather-indicator/bin/my-weather-indicator
--- End code ---
I think this issue is machine-specific.
For the 32-bit version, this is an excellent weather program. I use a Firefox plugin for the 64-bit version because the 64-bit version of MWI display the sunrise/sunset times in UTC, as opposed to local time...
Just my $.02 worth...

The XFCE Weather Applet no longer updates and as a result it is no longer able to fetch data.
Here is the fix:
--- Code: ---sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dtl131/mediahacks
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xfce4-weather-plugin
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:dtl131/mediahacks
--- End code ---
