I use Fedora 18, and xfce4-weather-plugin-0.8.2-1.fc18.x86_64 same problem. I compiled xfce4-weather-plugin-0.8.3 from source, and solved this problem. Christoph, please build a new xfce4-weather-plugin-0.8.3 package! Thanks.
The problem with 0.8.3 is that it requires a user account and I cannot register one on behalf of the Fedora project. It's kind of a legal question.
Hi, To rvcsaba: could you please explain how you compiled xfce4-weather-plugin-0.8.3 ? I tried the manipulation and get a GTK error during the compilation. The description of my problem is here at http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=7915. Thanks for your help !
(In reply to comment #3) I used this source: http://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin/snapshot/xfce4-weather-plugin-0.8.3.tar.bz2 ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local If I get error message, I installed missing dependencies and repeated ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local command. If success this, then I used make su -c 'make install' commands. I symlinked: /usr/lib64/xfce4/panel/plugins/libweather.la -> /usr/local/lib/xfce4/panel/plugins/libweather.la /usr/lib64/xfce4/panel/plugins/libweather.so -> /usr/local/lib/xfce4/panel/plugins/libweather.so /usr/share/xfce4/weather -> /usr/local/share/xfce4/weather /usr/share/xfce4/panel/plugins/weather.desktop -> /usr/local/share/xfce4/panel/plugins/weather.desktop

(In reply to comment #3) I remove original package, before installed from source: yum erase xfce4-weather-plugin
(In reply to comment #3) yum install gtk2-devel ;)

That is plainly wrong. While the README file kindly asks distributors to register a geonames username so that credits won't run out (if many distributions with a lot of users happen to use the default name), it is nowhere written that registering a username is required. In fact, if you don't provide your own then the default will be used, and if credits run out, then the only thing that won't work will be autodetecting altitude and timezone, and both are not essential to the plugin's functionality and further can be provided manually. This autodetection is usually only performed once, at plugin setup, or whenever you choose another location. Besides, it is very unlikely credits will run out so soon except if someone is misusing the service. This was discussed some time ago on the xfce mailing list, I just can't dig up the link right now. Wouldn't it seem a bit strange, if not even malicious or sadistic, for the developer to first switch the datasource to a free provider because of troublesome license issues, and then later introduce a similar problem?
Hi, Thank you rvcsaba for your help. I didn't strictly follow the solution given in comment 4 but here is how I did: http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=29218#p29218 I really hope that one day the plugin update will be available in the Fedora repository. I don't want do this trick for each new version... If it's impossible to have this update, you can just erase the old weather package (actually at 0.8.2-1) in the repository because the location search is broken !

I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. While "required" may not be the correct wording, "kindly asked" isn't correct either as it's a technical requirement to prevent running out of credits. > In fact, if you > don't provide your own then the default will be used, and if credits run > out, then the only thing that won't work will be autodetecting altitude and > timezone, and both are not essential to the plugin's functionality and > further can be provided manually. Ok sorry, I was under the impression this was required any kind of lookation lookup. My bad.

Thank you for the update. I agree with you on that part not being clear enough and was about to drop the dev a mail to reword that section of the documentation and be more explanative. But looking at current git, that has already happened.
