Description Michal Jaegermann 2011-12-05 03:55:32 UTC

Description of problem:

xfce4-weather-plugin always responds with "No data".  It looks like that whatever was supplying these data is not doing that anymore.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xfce4-weather-plugin-0.7.4-2.fc15

How reproducible:
always

Additional info:
Checking various replacement options it looks like that the only thing which is reliably collecting data from local meteo sources is libgweather.  Unfortunately the only thing which is using that apparently is clock-applet but _only_ if it is running in a "classical GNOME", a.k.a "fallback" mode.  In gnome-shell this is currently broken while this was pretty nice with multiple locations options.

There exists working at this moment gdesklets-goodweather package for Fedora 16 but it relies on weather.com so it may suffer one day the same fate as the current xfce4-weather-plugin.  On the top of it one needs to find what a weird location code one needs to stick there.
