Upgrade to Fedora 19 2. Login to an xfce session 3. Actual results: Error messages every 10 minutes. Expected results: No errors. Additional info:
Based on an strace, it looks like this message is coming from the weather plugin. Here is the process that emitting the error: schorr 6429 0.0 0.2 288612 5672 ? S Sep23 0:01 /usr/lib64/xfce4/panel/wrapper /usr/lib64/xfce4/panel/plugins/libweather.so 16 10485794 weather Weather Update Show current weather conditions Perhaps the weather configuration was somehow lost during the upgrade, but this behavior is certainly not elegant.

Strange. Does a 'yum distro-sync' change any of your package set related to Xfce? Otherwise you do have a "/home/users/schorr/.config/xfce4/panel/" directory? With anything in it?
Yes, there are some files in there: bash-4.2$ find /home/users/schorr/.config/xfce4/panel -type f -ls 83886295 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 schorr ead 57 Jun 18 2012 /home/users/schorr/.config/xfce4/panel/xfce4-mixer-plugin-15.rc 92274835 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 schorr ead 304 May 11 2012 /home/users/schorr/.config/xfce4/panel/launcher-12/13367661134.desktop 117440692 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 schorr ead 384 May 11 2012 /home/users/schorr/.config/xfce4/panel/launcher-10/13367661132.desktop 117440694 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 schorr ead 332 May 11 2012 /home/users/schorr/.config/xfce4/panel/launcher-9/13367661131.desktop 117440696 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 schorr ead 366 May 11 2012 /home/users/schorr/.config/xfce4/panel/launcher-11/13367661133.desktop 83886294 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 schorr ead 401 Sep 24 17:31 /home/users/schorr/.config/xfce4/panel/weather-16.rc The weather-16.rc file says: bash-4.2$ cat /home/users/schorr/.config/xfce4/panel/weather-16.rc msl=0 cache_file_max_age=172800 power_saving=true units_temperature=0 units_pressure=0 units_windspeed=0 units_precipitations=0 units_altitude=0 model_apparent_temperature=2 round=true tooltip_style=1 forecast_layout=1 forecast_days=5 scrollbox_animate=true theme_dir=/usr/share/xfce4/weather/icons/liquid show_scrollbox=true scrollbox_lines=1 scrollbox_color=#000000000000 scrollbox_use_color=false I imagine that reconfiguring the weather applet may solve the problem, but I'm not in the office today to give it a try. I will try tomorrow.
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
