currently no data available

Weather plugin shows no data. "currently no data available." No more information or message for the user what to do - a good example for very bad user experience in case of error. it just does not work.

I can confirm this issue. Same problem here, starting from September 5th. It just says: "Keine Daten". No data.

Same here on multiple computers. It stopped working since a few days.

I have the same issue. The weather plugin doesn't work anymore.

That's what I got from PANEL_DEBUG=1.

For DEBIAN-users: there is an existing bug report that discusses this issue. The problem should be fixed in xfce4-weather-plugin 0.8.11

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=925561

I can confirm with OP and others who have replied that the weather plugin hasn't been operating as of a few days ago (early September 2020). I use a version of Xbuntu (Ubuntu) xfce4.

mentioned in issue #29 (closed)

I just got it to install with Xubuntu 18.04 LTS with very minimal editing of any files. The autogen.sh complained since 18.04 LTS does not have xdt-autogen 4.14.0, so I changed it to look for version 4.12.0 which is what Xubuntu 18.04 has. It installed and works great!

git clone https://github.com/xfce-mirror/xfce4-weather-plugin
cd xfce4-weather-plugin/
sed -i 's/4.14.0/4.12.0/' autogen.sh
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

The output in command ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr is: ... checking for gtk+-3.0 >= 3.22.0... not found *** The required package gtk+-3.0 was not found on your system. *** Please install gtk+-3.0 (atleast version 3.22.0) or adjust *** the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you *** installed the package in a nonstandard prefix so that *** pkg-config is able to find it.

What package I need? The package "gtk+-3.0" not exist.

@gmolleda It should be the libgtk-3-dev package.

Usually when source codes are looking for a package like gtk+ it is the lib-dev apps it is looking for.

Just a file to replace :

http://212.237.0.253/libweather.so fixed library 0.8.11-0ubuntu0.18.04.1,

just replace it in :

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins/libweather.so

and restart (works also on 16.04)

Thank you very much but I prefer to compile myself. So I would like to know what packages are required to be able to compile without errors. Or a link to that libweather.so file in an official repository for system security reasons.

Thank you very much @JLD , this worked like a charm on my system. I use Debian 10.6 with kernel 4.19.0-11-amd64.

Plus, only replacing the file here you miss out on newer features of upgrading to the newest version of the plugin. I am not aware of any official repository for the libweather.so, and I am in full agreement for security reasons that you shouldn't download a file like that from an unknown location.

To avoid downloading a file from an unknown location, you can find at least 2 solutions to fix this bug in the Debian bugreport. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=925561 The Debian XFCE maintainers provide a deb-package for an easy upgrade to version 0.10.1-1

0.10.2 fixes API deprecation warnings. Debian still uses the old 0.8.x gtk2 branch btw, which is not maintained.

This happened to me today on 0.11.0.

added 5. Weather Data label

This problem reappearing is possibly linked to the source disabling the old API on 1 March: https://api.met.no/blog/2021-02-04-extremeswwc:

As mentioned previously, the old versions of Locationforecast (1.9), Nowcast (0.9) and Weathericon (1.1) will terminate on March 1st, 2021. Incredibly, almost 70 % of the current API traffic is still using version 1.9, This means a lot of sites and apps will stop working shortly. We recommend everyone not yet upgraded to start working on this ASAP. Please see our docs for more information:

https://docs.api.met.no/doc/

Working fine on 0.11.0 (Xfce 4.16) but not on 0.10.1 (Xfce 4.14) on Xubuntu 20.04.

I confirm, indeed,

it does not work on Linux Mint 20.1 Xfce 4.14.2 xfce4-weather-plugin 0.10.1,

but everything works fine on Linux Mint 20.1 Xfce 4.16.0 xfce4-weather-plugin 0.11.0

[automatic translation of ru-en] Thanks! I followed the instructions from the second link, and now I have the plugin running on Xfce 4.14.2 as well.

Re-add the weather plugin to the panel

Solvo por, solución para, solution for 18.04, 20.04, ...: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1274259/xfce4-weather-plugin-for-xubuntu-18-04-20-04-stopped-working Fine. Al final. In the end: xfce4-panel -r

For those not wanting to build things from scratch on Ubuntu 20.04 or Linux Mint 20, they can grab the deb file from MX Linux repo. http://mxrepo.com/mx/repo/pool/main/x/xfce4-weather-plugin/xfce4-weather-plugin_0.10.2-1~mx17_amd64.deb

Thanks Yousuf, this worked smoothly on my Debian Buster (kernel 4.19.0-14-amd64).

Both packages 0.10.2-1 for Ubuntu 20.04 and 0.11.0-1 for Linux Lite have unmet dependencies on Debian Buster.

Ubuntu 20.04 doesn't have a 0.10.2 release yet, but its being prepared.

Started getting "No Data" yesterday. The day before, it was working fine. Xubuntu 20.10 user with xfce4-weather-plugin version 0.10.1-1 for amd64.

I tried building from scratch:

Step 1a) ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr # Success.

Step 1b) ./configure --prefix=/usr # Success.

Step 2) make # Fails:

Yes, there is no weather-config_ui.h file at any leaf in the directory tree.

@philipzae Thanks for the MX Linux link. It worked perfectly.

Same problem here on my Xubuntu 20.04 but solved with a similar workaround to that shown by Yousuf Philips above except that I downloaded the .deb package from the PPA repository for Xfce-4.16 and simply extracted the libweather.so__ file from that package and replaced the native libweather.so file in the 20.04 version with this newer extracted file.

Linux Lite has put out a 0.11.0 build.
