I think I have the extra apps loaded for xfce, but the weather app searching for something near Schenectady NY just says "Searching" and does nothing visible. FC17 found a station on Libarty St, three blocks from me, which updates frequently. What did I forget to install?
I noticed that fc17 had libgweather installed, so I added it in case the dependency was missed. No change. So either the applet is broken or they are using a much smaller list, or it's broken. Before I submit a bug, I'll ask here if I'm just doing it wrong.

I don't often use xfce, but you got me curious.
Are you talking about the xfce4-weather-plugin? I installed that in both F17 and F18 and added it to the panel. In both cases, it automatically found what it thought was my location and gave me weather.
However, in both cases if I try to change the location it goes to "searching..." no matter what I enter and never returns anything....even if I use a very common city such as New York.....

Heya,
'xfce4-weather-plugin' is libweather.so[1] per se :) Grasp the code from git[2], it should work. … weather-Message: getting http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=Schenectady%20NY&format=xml weather-Message: getting http://api.yr.no/weatherapi/sunrise/1.0/?lat=42.809545;lon=-74.021672;date=2... weather-Message: getting http://api.yr.no/weatherapi/locationforecastlts/1.1/?lat=42.809545;lon=-74.0... …

Will do, the package from fc18 repo can't find anything bu Greenwich NY, so either the search list or logic are not working as well as fc17.

After looking at the package git gives me, I find that I have no BUILD environment for fc18 yet, I'm doing laptops and desktops first. So at the moment I'll have to put this off for at least a few weeks. Many thanks for your help!

That's the issue on fc18, on 17 it found weather only a few blocks away. The search algorithm seems troubled. I think the location is taken from the city where your ISP does business, fc18 picked a location not nearby, horizontally or vertically. Weather in the hills miles away is not much like mine. :-(

FWIW, I have also seen this after the upgrade. But I also found just putting location by hand and accepting it instead of trying to search and select seems to work.

There are three settings for Schenectady, NY:
loc_name=Schenectady, Schenectady County lat=42.814243 lon=-73.939569
loc_name=Schenectady, New York lat=42.809545 lon=-74.021672
loc_name=Schenectady, Liberty Street lat=42.814491 lon=-73.942709
Put one of these three in ~/.config/xfce4/panel/weather-*.rc: $ xfce4-panel -q && mousepad ~/.config/xfce4/panel/weather-*.rc && xfce4-panel & Use Alt-Tab ;)

I live in Camarillo, CA. I just installed the applet and tried to configure it. It came up with Newbury Park and only Newbury Park. Trying to search on either Camarillo, CA or my zip code fails. How can I find out for myself what the correct info is for the closest weather station (I assume that it's not Newbury Park because Forcastfox has no trouble getting it right.) and plug it in?

Maybe just add _your exact_ information in regards to location and zip code to the file that contains the weather-app's configuration? This way you'll be given a choice when you try to change it, or at the very least....it should FIND it!... And mind you I'm just guessing here!.

I actually copied the fc17 config, called weather-17.rc, to the fc18 config, called weather-11.rc, and that resulted in a functional weather applet. I take that back, an applet which gives me what I want. Another user entering Boston got "Searching" and not doing anything obvious, no cpu, disk, or network activity. I really think this is broken, will do a bug on it unless someone else has done so.
I just logged out and back in, your panel restart w/o logout is a trick I saved but didn't really felt necessary, login is down at the "just happens" level already.
Thanks for the pointer to the workaround!

The issue is twofold:
1 - the initial location is taken from your IP, before you have 1st login. 2 - the search function is broken thereafter.
Note: search worked at the time fc17 came out, that's where I got the correct address. Relatively new problem.

Thank you. I'll set it by hand until fixed.
