Out of curiosity, I decided to poke around the Github page for Meteo and found the developer's README file, read it and I found a few interesting pieces of info. 1. This may have something to do w. the temp not appearing in the panel. Indicator: Many OS have discontinued the AppIndicator/Ayatana Indicator support. So in order to use it, you can install manually. 2. "Developed with Vala & Gtk,using OpenWeatherMap API ( https://openweathermap.org/)" 3. Just for future reference and benefit of other PLUGers, don't assume that because an app is avail to install vian a pkg mngmt tool such as SNAP, please don't assume that it's supported. Had I read the developer's README file, on Github I'd have seen their comment regarding SNAP, " I've added it at the request of the users, but I don't give support to Snap.You can install it , at your own risk." Turns out README files are useful and probably should be actually read first. I joke, but there was a day when I was more in the practice of doing this when I did more installs from source and expected things to blow up in my face as compared to nowadays where there's all these fancy point & click app stores and pkg mgmt tools that make everything seem like it's plug & play. _______________________________________________ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
