Hi,

Thanks for your bug report.
Could you give us more details about what you were doing? Was your network connection down?

[karl michael (karlzt)]

it happens when my connection is down i guess

for example when i resume from suspend

[Lionel Le Folgoc (mrpouit)]

Ok, thanks for the feedback. I think this corresponds to an issue already fixed upstream (and in karmic) by the following patch: <http://svn.xfce.org/index.cgi/goodies/xfce4-weather-plugin/trunk/panel-plugin/weather-http.c?r1=7747&r2=7746&pathrev=7747&diff_format=u>

Hardy, intrepid and jaunty should be affected, I'll try to prepare a test package including the patch soon so that you will be able to check if this solves your issue.

A test package is available in my PPA (direct link: <https://launchpad.net/~mrpouit/+archive/ppa/+files/xfce4-weather-plugin_0.6.2-1ubuntu2.8.10.2~test1_i386.deb>), could you retry with it? Thanks.

[karl michael (karlzt)]

i installed it and now is fixed

Accepted xfce4-weather-plugin into hardy-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Accepted xfce4-weather-plugin into intrepid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Accepted xfce4-weather-plugin into jaunty-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

This intrepid-proposed SRU has not been verified in the last three months or longer. Intrepid will go out of support in less than two months, so it is not worth pursuing this SRU any further.

I removed the intrepid-proposed version from the archive.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Anyone who can test the hardy/jaunty updates? Otherwise I'll remove them from *-proposed again.

[Steve Beattie (sbeattie)]

I was unable to reproduce the issue with either the version of xfce4-weather-plugin from hardy-updates, 0.6.2-1ubuntu1.2, or the version in jaunty-updates, 0.6.2-1ubuntu2.9.04.1; when disconnecting the network connection, top indicated that it was using around 1.3% of the CPU and it was possible to interact with the applet.

I can confirm that the versions in hardy-proposed, 0.6.2-1ubuntu1.3, and jaunty-proposed, 0.6.2-1ubuntu2.9.04.2, don't reintroduce the problem and continue to function as expected. Marking verification-done.
