The plugin crashes when added to a xfce 4.10 panel. Please make it compatible with 4.10. Thanks.

I don't know why it crashes for you, but the upcoming version should work fine. You might try current git version if you know how to.
Comment 3 João Sousa 2012-07-17 01:07:42 CEST
Well, a lot of people is reporting the same, also several other plugins. I might try the git version yes, although I was hoping for an updated version distributed on debian repositories...
Comment 4 Harald Judt 2012-07-17 01:17:33 CEST
Then the problem is probably one of the dependencies. Make sure you have the proper libxfce4ui, libxfce4util, libxfcegui4 versions installed. For more help about this please ask the package maintainers of your distribution.

As for the updated version, it should be finished soon. But that won't solve the problems you have with the other plugins.
Comment 5 João Sousa 2012-07-17 01:48:56 CEST
Thank you for your help.

I should have mentioned that I installed xfce 4.10 (upgraded from 4.8) from debian experimental repositories on an debian testing install, with all the dependencies properly installed (no errors given by apt-get). It works well besides some plugins like the weather which I miss.

I've checked the dependencies you mentioned, 

libxfce4ui-1-0:
  Installed: 4.10.0-1

libxfce4util6:
  Installed: 4.10.0-1

libxfcegui4-4:
  Installed: 4.8.1-5 (I have now upgraded to 4.10.0-1 also from debian experimental)

Not sure if this are the correct (name) libs from debian but are the most similar named. After upgraded libxfcegui4-4 to 4.10.0-1 still the same issue.

I'm sure this affects all the users that install xfce 4.10 from debian. Besides upgrading to a git install, do you think of any other thing that I should look into?

Thanks!

Check that the plugin etc. is also installed from the same experimental repository, probably it requires to be built with the right library version. Otherwise, I have no idea, and this is distribution-specific and so it's not the right place to ask here.
Comment 7 Harald Judt 2012-07-23 13:42:42 CEST
Your problems with the weather plugin might go away when upgrading to the latest version 0.8.0.
Comment 8 João Sousa 2012-08-05 16:53:18 CEST
Hello,

Sorry for not answering earlier. Unfortunately all the required packages are not available from Debian Experimental repository. By the way, this is an interesting read: http://lionel.lefolgoc.net/blog/article89/status-of-xfce-in-debian-ubuntu

So I went and compiled and installed them myself and updated xfce4-weather-plugin to 0.8.0. Not what I wished for... but It's working fine. Also, I'm enjoying the updated features. Thank you, keep up the good work!

To those who may want to go the same route this is a good how to (Debian only): https://sites.google.com/site/debianinstallnotes/tutorial/xfce/xfce-4-10

Bye!
