| Guest_13 | xfce4-weather-plugin stopped working on 18.04LTS. This commit fixes the bug. https://gitlab.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin/-/commit/97601ab2ad1f9810516be6d3d91c5c9b16d6397a Is there any way to get this version backported to 18.04LTS? | 12:53 |
|---|---|---|
| Guest_13 | I'm running a 32-bit version of 18.04LTS and can't update to 20.04LTS to fix | 13:02 |
| pmjdebruijn | you can download the sources and rebuild them locally | 13:08 |
| pmjdebruijn | or put the commit in debian/patches (and put in in series) en rebuild your current version locally | 13:09 |
| Guest_13 | Ok. | 13:10 |
| pmjdebruijn | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xfce4-weather-plugin/xfce4-weather-plugin_0.8.11.orig.tar.bz2 | 13:13 |
| pmjdebruijn | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xfce4-weather-plugin/xfce4-weather-plugin_0.8.11-0ubuntu0.18.04.1.debian.tar.xz | 13:13 |
| pmjdebruijn | presumably | 13:13 |
| pmjdebruijn | not sure if that patch will apply though | 13:13 |
| pmjdebruijn | oh it might | 13:13 |
| pmjdebruijn | it's simply enough | 13:13 |
| Guest_13 | Those patches won't apply cleanly to the 0.8.11 version of xfce4-weather-pugin. Can I build the newer version from focal or groovy on a 32-bit system? | 14:13 |
| pmjdebruijn | I doubt it, given that xfce moved to gtk3 | 14:28 |
| pmjdebruijn | iirc | 14:28 |
| Guest_13 | So if the patch won't apply cleanly, how do I go about getting a working xfce4-weather-plugin working on 18.04LTS 32-bit? | 14:42 |

| pjotter | Does anybody know what;s going on with xfce4-weather-plugin? It stopped working a couple of days ago. | 22:27 |
| tomreyn | did you look up the latest bug reports, yet? | 22:31 |
| pjotter | I'm not sure where to look. I searched google and came up with some discussion about it on a mint forum. | 22:31 |
| tomreyn | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-weather-plugin is where bugs filed against the packages in ubuntu (by running "ubuntu-bug xfce4-weather-plugin" ony our system) would end up. | 22:33 |
| tomreyn | but this is actually a package maintained by debian as seen at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-weather-plugin | 22:33 |
| tomreyn | so you may want to look at https://bugs.debian.org/xfce4-weather-plugin also | 22:34 |
| tomreyn | (keeping in mind that xfce4-weather-plugin versions in your ubuntu release and those current debian releases may differ) | 22:35 |
| pjotter | https://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin/commit/?id=97601ab2ad1f9810516be6d3d91c5c9b16d6397a | 22:35 |
| pjotter | Seems they switched to a new API version | 22:37 |
| pjotter | Just wondering... is it hard to recompile this package for 16.04 and 18.04? | 22:38 |
| tomreyn | i wouldn't know, never tried. there are few dependencies, though, which should be a good thing. | 22:40 |
| tomreyn | xubuntu 16.04 has been EOL since april 2019, though: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL | 22:41 |
| pjotter | I understand | 22:41 |
| tomreyn | pjotter: if it's really as simple as applying those two patches then you should be able to just do this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpdatingADeb | 22:49 |
| pjotter | I've never done this before. I can just edit the files mentioned in the patch and then recompile? | 22:50 |
| tomreyn | yes | 22:50 |
| tomreyn | you'll need to add "deb-src" lines to be able to download source packages with apt beforehand | 22:51 |
| pjotter | Where can I find the source for xfce4-weather-plugin | 22:51 |
| pjotter | ok | 22:51 |
| tomreyn | ...to your /etc/apt/sources.list, that is | 22:51 |
| pjotter | I can't download them manually? | 22:51 |
| tomreyn | sure, you can, it's just less convenient | 22:52 |
| tomreyn | apt doesn't ust download, but also verifies the digital signatures. you can also do this manually, but it's not as easy. | 22:53 |
| pjotter | Ok, so I added the deb-src line. | 22:53 |
| tomreyn | xfce4-weather-plugin is in universe, so you just need the deb-src for that | 22:54 |
| pjotter | deb-src http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates main universe multiverse restricted | 22:54 |
| pjotter | So how to I download the source? (sorry for the many questions) | 22:55 |
| tomreyn | apt-get update && apt-get source xfce4-weather-plugin | 22:56 |
| tomreyn | sudo apt-get update && apt-get source xfce4-weather-plugin | 22:56 |
| tomreyn | ^ that rather | 22:56 |
| pjotter | it worked :) | 22:58 |
| pjotter | I now have the 08.9 version source | 22:58 |
| tomreyn | yeay :) | 22:58 |
| pjotter | now edit the files... ;) | 22:59 |
| tomreyn | i jumped ahead, though, you need to start form the top of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpdatingADeb | 22:59 |
| pjotter | I understand. But I first need to apply the changes, right? | 23:00 |
| tomreyn | whether oyu first install the build dependencies and build tools or do that after editing the source code should not matter | 23:01 |
| pjotter | I think the build depenencies are already on my system from previous attempts to compile stuff | 23:01 |
| tomreyn | you mean the build utilities, or this very packages' build dependencies? | 23:03 |
| tomreyn | i.e. first grey box on the wiki | 23:03 |
| pjotter | Mo, just de build dependencies. | 23:10 |
| pjotter | No | 23:10 |
| pjotter | I made the alterations to the files.. let's see how this compiles.. :) | 23:10 |
| tomreyn | good luck, that's the point where i need to weasel off | 23:17 |
| pjotter | it;s running... :D | 23:19 |
| pjotter | Hurray! we got some errors :S | 23:21 |
| pjotter | undeclared something... I'll dive into this | 23:21 |
