After the upgrade I do not have the time or date applet.

This morningā€™s update didnā€™t fix the issue

25

I know. I made a bollocks of the update :persevere:

New packages have built in the PPA and will publish soon. They will fix the weather service issue and actually work again :slight_smile:

Solved. Thank you.:smile:

Thank you for the fix, worked on my computer Virginia, United States
Iā€™m not certain that everything is back to normal however
Forecast not currently available for this location.
weather location = Washington DC Dulles International Airport.

Still same problem. May have fixed the service but this applet is still a disservice to Ubuntu-MATE quality elsewhere. The locations are the same, despite the service being able to report on weather from around the globe. Probably the locations list is also hard-coded(!) into the applet, just like the weather service was.

Useless and badly coded. And I wonā€™t report a bug in protest! I donā€™t think anyone needs to be told how you should not hardcode this type of data. Iā€™ll keep using other third-party applets for weather reporting until someone realizes the world is bigger than that ridiculous list.

Edit: sorry for the rant and all the negativity. But itā€™s frustrating. Never mind me.

@Wimpy Is the new version coming to UM 14.04?

34

I do not see the update (main server US)

35

Works great, now, on xenial-mate PPA. Second timeā€™s a charm. :joy:

36

Same here, second time's a charm. So now to wait for it to filter down to the 1.12 desktop :slight_smile:

But no forecast

37

1.12 will take some time, because it has to be SRUā€™d.

I donā€™t know what you mean by xenial-mate PPA, Itā€™s not available on the manu. Iā€™m using Server for United States

39

This PPA needs to be installed.

And you end up with the 1.12 desktop being replaced with 1.14.
