Hello!

xfce4-weather-plugin 0.8.5 requires some XFCE 4.12 lib4-bit version libraries to work, so you can't use it in LL yet. Meanwhile, Here are some links for the 64-bit version of xfce4-weather-plugin 0.8.3-2:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/amd64/xfce4-weather-plugin/download, or

http://mirror.manitu.net/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xfce4-weather-plugin/xfce4-weather-plugin_0.8.3-2_amd64.deb.

Hope this helps you. As always, if your current version isn't acting up on you, stick with it...

Hi Rob,

I installed this on a couple of PC's, v0.8.3

I can't remember if I did it from a .deb or Synaptic.??, don't have it in a ppa.
It does show installed in Synaptic v0.8.3, no update showing.
Can I just run the 0.8.5 .deb file, or will this mess up Synaptic install records..??

Thanks... Dave

Hello!

rokytnji's fix worked for me on an XFCE 4.12 that I'm playing with in Lubuntu, but there's a new version since his original post.

Here's how to find and get the latest version (0.8.5-2, May 7th, 2015):

http://mirror.manitu.net/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xfce4-weather-plugin/

Hope this helps someone. May try this next time I install LL again, which will be soon.

I had to "nuke and start over" my Windows 8.1, to remove and reinstall some Bluetooth devices that wouldn't budge on the Dell 3135 netbook. Fortunately, I had it backed up from six months ago.

It still took a couple of days, but also saved a couple of days by using the backup, as opposed to starting over with Win 8 Pro, installing over 100 updates, installing 8.1, and installing another 150-or-so updates, and calling Microsoft to get Media Center activated. (Ugh!)

Just finished reinstalling Lubuntu with XFCE 4.12, so after I back up what I've got now, LL 2.4 is next. Glad that ATI fix is up on here somewhere...

Hello!

Always happy to help.

One can use the default selection, Open Weather Map, or sign up as a 'developer' on Weather Underground and/or World Weather Online to set up an account on THOSE...

Hello!

I know you folks like to stay with XFCE as much as possible, but for me, getting xfce4-weather-plugin to work right wound up being too much of a hassle.

I add my-weather-indicator to my LL installs, instead. It just works...

Thanks. Took your advice again, Rob.  ;D

Don't trust Yahoo due to may have privacy issues like Google. Which weather service do you recommend?

Here is a video I found for those like me who would not know how to install it since it is not in Synaptic.

I just came from the Linux Mint forum.  One thread is on xfce4-weather.  No guarantee it will work for LL, but LM and LL are based on ubuntu.

I did not want to mention this because I'm really not sure if the added repo caused it or all the other crap I installed did it. However after I added that repo and got the plugin to start working, I did an upgrade through the synaptic.

You know that button on the tool bar. Then it went into a mega upgrade took like an hour.

I think it was in some kind of endless cycle so I stopped it after an hour or so. Reinstalled LL

maybe waiting for a proper update is a better idea.

You could just wait for an updated weather package to make its way into the normal LL update chanels.

Sounds like a plan!  8)

My xfce4-weather-plugin has been working off and on. What is the the recommended way for those of us who are "afeared of breaking" something of fixing this?

I have a question for anyone knowledgeable. By adding that repository to the list would it have any adverse affects to upgrades? "        apt-get upgrade"

or are we to remove that repo after the fix?
