Weather applet quit working

[Autodave]

2 machines both running Xubuntu 12.04. Both within the last week had the weather applet quit working. Any ideas?

The applet it out of date, a update will fix it if it is compatible (as in pulling the xfce4-weather-plugin package from saucy)
you may need to use xfce 4.10 for it to work

Package still installed, xfce4.8.3 installed. No weather.

run xfce4-panel -r

I have 4.10 installed and it's not working for me either.

it is working on saucy here

~$ apt-cache policy xfce4-weather-plugin 
xfce4-weather-plugin:
  Installed: 0.8.3-1
  Candidate: 0.8.3-1
  Version table:
 *** 0.8.3-1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

after installing the version i linked above you will need to run the command i posted to apply the update
edit: you may need to reconfigure the applet, the config file changed at some point since 12.04 IIRC

I really miss the Xfce weather plugin.

I fear this wouldn't work for 12.04(?)

Or, does anyone have an alternative desktop weather gadget they can recommend?

It just started working! Just now. I clicked on properties to see if there was anything I could change, but there wasn't. Now it's working again. Huzzah!

Great news Buntu Bunny - My plug in 0.8.3 works fine for me! -

Thank you! I did not need anything else after "~$ apt-cache policy xfce4-weather-plugin" in Xubuntu 12.04 LTS.
