After upgrading from Gnome 2.24 the stand alone weather applet and the weather info in the clock applet no longer work. I am unable to select a location in the stand alone applet and it is continually 'updating'. The clock applet allows me to choose a location, but fails to show any weather data. I am behind a corporate proxy which may be an issue.

Add weather applet to a gnome panel. 2. 3. Expected Results: The weather information should be shown.

which version of libgweather do you have installed. Could you attach your .xsession-errors ?

Created attachment 193986 [details] xsession-errors
what about gnome-applets-2.26.2 ?
Same problem. It doesn't seem to pick up the proxy settings from Gnome.

Could you make sure the proper city is selected in preferences of the applet ? Maybe some location changed in libgweather-2.26.
I tried changing the city to something else without any luck. I should add that my proxy requires password authentication. That would explain the error in the .xsession-errors file. Epiphany and Firefox work OK, though.
Have you tried on a new created user account?
Reading: (gnome-panel:14046): GWeather-WARNING **: Failed to get METAR data: 407 Proxy Authentication Required. Seems that it requires an autentication, please verify it in gnome-network-preferences also
I checked the proxy settings in the manager. They are correct. As I said previously, Firefox and Epiphany work fine and they are pulling the proxy info from Gnome. I tried on a new user as well, same issues.
After syncing and updating today the weather applets seem to be working again.
