XFCE Weather applet Location [SOLVED]

Post by Kev1105 »

The location search/function in the xfce weather applet is not working. I'm using version 0.89.
Is there a fix for this?

Mint 18.3 XFCE 64-Bit

There's a workaround: install the latest stable version by downloading it from the Ubuntu servers.

64-bit:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/u ... _amd64.deb

32-bit:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/u ... 1_i386.deb

Simply double-click the downloaded .deb file, as if it were a Windows installer. After the installation, the location service should work again (it does so on my Xfce box). :)
