+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #48564 +++ When the xfce4-weather plugin is added to the panel in xfce-4.0.4 or xfce-4.0.5 on sparc, it will crash the panel. Will look into it as time permits. This is mostly here so that people are aware. -- I'm having exactly same problem, the workaround described in #48564 seems to be obsolete now. Basically, I can add it to panel, but adjusting properties or restarting XFCE causes panel to crash.
Created attachment 88894 [details, diff] Patch that will allow weathe applet to not crash panel After reading a couple of posts elsewhere ( http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1590 ) the attached patch should allow the weather applet not to crash panel. The links patch needed to be modified so use the patch with this report.
I should of said this was tested on an x86 not sparc, but maybe the same problem, feedback welcome.
Sorry for that SPARC thing, it somehow came along with cloning. I'm using x86. Thanks.
I had same problem. This patch works great ;) I made patch to xfce4-weather-0.4.9.ebuild
Created attachment 91771 [details, diff] xfce4-weather-0.4.9.ebuild.patch With this patch, xfce4-weather-0.4.9.ebuild apply scrollbox.c.patch (that fix crashes of xfce-panel) while unpacking source of xfce4-weather-plugin.
Are you still seeing this with 0.4.9-r1 w/o the patch? I tested it here and wasn't able to replicate.
Yup, the -r1 version still crashes the panel but ONLY if it is in metric mode for me. Did you try that? On a side note, why is this assigned to sparc porters? I'm seeing this issue on x86 but couldn't find a bug for it..
It runs fine for me even with metric. My guess is this ended up in SPARC land because of you referencing bug #48564. Reassigning it to x86.
I was unable to reproduce this problem on my x86 test box...xfce what's your decision about this ^.^
Created attachment 99236 [details] xfce4-weather plugin traceback I am able to reproduce the problem with xfce4-weather-0.4.9-r1. This occurs after successfully adding it to the panel. When I modify the properties and click Ok, it then crashes. The attachment is the received traceback.
dostrow, any news on this one? I can't reproduce it so I can't fix it so...
Hi I had the same problem -- patch worked for me. I found that after unpacking, both 0.4.9-rc1 and 0.4.9 point to the same source package: # ls -l /var/tmp/portage/xfce4-weather-0.4.9-r1/distdir/ ... xfce4-weather-plugin-0.4.9.tar.gz -> /usr/portage/distfiles/xfce4-weather-plugin-0.4.9.tar.gz # ls -l /var/tmp/portage/xfce4-weather-0.4.9/distdir/ ... xfce4-weather-plugin-0.4.9.tar.gz -> /usr/portage/distfiles/xfce4-weather-plugin-0.4.9.tar.gz So they are identical packages. The patch works on both, of course. I couldn't find an RC1 release on the berlios.de repos either. On a side note, the new versions >=0.5.99.1 depend on the ~x86 branch of xfce-base, so it would make more sense to have those packages available too.
Patch applied to 0.4.9-r2. Thanks for reporting and providing the fix!
