Hi There,

I'm running a Fedora 15 desktop at work and so I'm stuck behind my works web proxy. I've put the proxy settings in every place possible, both via the network settings GUI and via the gconf-editor. I have also set the http_proxy environment variable in my bash_profile. I can access the internet via my browser, I can install packages via yum, I can access IRC and other instant messaging services, so I'm pretty confident my proxy settings are correct and they are all in the right places. Having done all this, I still can't get the weather extension to connect and display the weather.

I also have a laptop at home running Fedora 15 and I have built and installed this extension in the exact same way on that and it works like a charm, but I'm not stuck behind a proxy at home. Can you tell me if your extension is supposed to work behind a proxy? If it is supposed to could you give me some guidance on how to get it to work? If it doesn't currently support proxies, could I please request this as a feature?

Many Thanks

i installed the gnome3.2 branch and lg tells me the extension is loaded properly and the woeid has been set correctly. however, nothing shows up on the menu bar. any ideas?

rcabral@gaudi:~/Desktop/simon04-gnome-shell-extension-weather-acb1782$ gsettings get org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather woeid
'XXXX224'

Seems to work very well! Thanks!

But whenever the weather is "Mostly cloudy", there's no icon available, and I just get the default one that looks like a picture frame with the bottom right corner folded slightly. Could this be fixed? (If you need an example, Guildford, UKXX1727, is currently "Mostly cloudy".)

Also... could the items in the main display be links to the appropriate pages on Yahoo? I'd suggest that the 'today' and 'tomorrow' items be links to the forecast for the next few days, and the 'current' item be a link to the hourly forecast.

I am used to read the air pressure in mmHg units. Is there a way to change this on my end (by editing some files), or is this a data provided by Yahoo and is unchangeable? Thank you very much.

There seems to be a bug when clicking in the config button, in the menu that shows the weather.

It tries to open "weather-extension-configurator" (without .py), but the installed file is called "weather-extension-configurator.py" (with .py).

Thanks,
Germán.

grep "yweather:forecast" ./forecastrss\?p=SZXX0004\&u=f 
<yweather:forecast day="Wed" date="2 Nov 2011" low="42" high="64" text="AM Showers" code="39" />
<yweather:forecast day="Thu" date="3 Nov 2011" low="45" high="63" text="Cloudy" code="26" />

code 39 is mapped to weather-storm but yahoo displays this: http://poncho.spahan.ch/public/pictures/wicons-yahoo.png

I think weather-few-clouds or weather-showers-scattered would be more appropriate.

I set my WOEID to 12056 (Bath, UK) and the weather applet displayed weather for Duanesburg, NY.

Yahoo's weather service requires a location ID as the 'location' field, not a WOEID. For example:

http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/#h=select%20item%20from%20weather.forecast%20where%20location%20%3D%2012056%3B
Shows Duanesburg, NY.

It is possible to get location IDs via weather.com:
http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=Bath

Setting woeid to one of these IDs, e.g. UKXX0012 in my case, works as intended:

http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/#h=select%20item%20from%20weather.forecast%20where%20location%20%3D%20%22UKXX0012%22%3B

It seems like the applet is working for everyone else - perhaps some WOEIDs are accepted but not others?

The extension does not works with the new shell version provided by ricotz-testing ppa.

Could be the "&" character?

I can see the extension listed "Shell Extensions" in gnome-tweak-tool. I can even click on the little "ON" button to the right. But the extension does not appear.

If close and re-open gnome-tweak tool it shows the Weather Indicator Extension still deactivated (even though switched it to "ON" moments ago). Reloading gnome-shell makes no difference.

I'm not sure if this is related, but I did some investigating with dconf-editor and I noticed there was no branch org > gnome > shell > extensions > weather

I'm running gnome 3.2 with the gnome-shell-extension-weather compiled from the Master branch, which I download from github tonight.

170 8.05 km/h wind speed.. really?!
In browser it shows this:
Wind: S 5 mph

It would be nice if it would:

• show wind direction after the speed
• show wind speed in m/s
• respect locale for decimal separator

I signal you this thread, pointing out some issues about WOEIDs. It seems that some WOEIDs don't work with your extension.
I think the problem depends on Yahoo! Weather. Anyway, if you wish, please follow the thread or take part in it.

For example, id = CHXX0099(Nanjing, China), we can just compare these two simple api: one is rss, the other is json:

http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastjson?u=c&p=CHXX0099
http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?u=c&p=CHXX0099

They are totally different on current weather conditions! And in fact RSS is correct while json is wrong because json keeps a single temperature all the time!

I hope you can develop another branch that based on yahoo RSS weather

i just updated to ubuntu 11.10 and this is broken:
lg gives the message that it is missing an init function. i guess according to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/cardapio/+bug/847668
the api changed.

Hi. Your extension is great, but by looking in ~/.xsession-errors you can find following errors/warnings.

Trying to set my WOEID to 1099805 and failing to retrieve weather data.

Is there any reason why this would fail?

Could you update the prefs branch with the latest changes you made to the master branch, please? And, from now on, keep them on par?
Thanks.

After a recent update to your extension (commit 811d96d3b0), some data (i.e. Sunrise, Sunset and forecasts) is never displayed in the popup. The "loading" arrows keep being shown in place of the forecasts.
Please see this screenshot.
The issue persists whichever WOEID I try.

The output of:
wget 'http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastjson?u=c&p=48907'

is: {"code":500,"Message":"Invalid Input /forecastjson?p=48907&u=c"}

also I tried replacing p= with w= (as per the new Yahoo! Weather API documentation), and I still get an error.

To easier distribute the configurator (weather-extension-configurator.py), it should automatically be installed under /usr/bin/weather-extension-configurator via the Makefile.

On Debian, weather-extension-configurator.py returns this:

/usr/bin/env: python2: No such file or directory

Maybe it should use python2.6 or python2.7? That's probably the most compatible, since I don't think there are any systems out there that have a python2 interpreter but not python2.6/7.

I have tried to set up the weather extension 2 times now and in each case it fails to find anything based on my woeid.
here is the gsettings:

org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather city 'Tampa, FL'
org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather position-in-panel 'center'
org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather refresh-interval 240
org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather show-comment-in-panel false
org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather show-text-in-panel true
org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather translate-condition false
org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather unit 'celsius'
org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather use-symbolic-icons true
org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather woeid '2503863'

I have refreshed (alt F2)
turned the extension on and off in tweak tools, ,
Installed the expected deps:

install gnome-common gtk3-devel glib2-devel intltool automake autoconf vala wget gnome-tweak-tool

and, at least in the first try, restarted and waited hours for it to find the location information
ANy other suggestions?

Can I set multi city in this extentions?

so I can select one city to show in the top-bar, and when I click the icon, it shows all city I set ...

Is this can be true?

Sorry for my bad english!

Thanks!

If I type window key (bring up overlay) then "w", GNOME Shell crashes. I've confirmed that it stops happening if I remove this extension.

It's possible this has existed for a long time, but I only recently installed a program starting with a "w".

I've never worked with GNOME Shell, so is there anything I can do to make this easier to debug (assuming it's not easy to reproduce). I was original on a version from 2012-02 and now I'm on the most recent version and the problem still exists.

I'm using Arch Linux with GNOME Shell 3.2.2.1 if that makes any difference.

I installed the extension and activated it trough gnome-tweak-tool then:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather woeid IRXX0018

i even used:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather woeid "'IRXX0018'"

But i just receive:

Please Wait
Loading

And nothing changes.

As you can see in the screenshot, the current local time is 14:57 (afternoon), but the current weather text says "Fair" and shows a moon. I'm in Beijing, China and using China Standard Time (GMT+08:00), and the extension should correctly show the weather to be "Sunny" or something.

I guess this is more or less API related, but for what it's worth, it seems that Yahoo! has updated its weather API to use the RSS format, maybe deprecating the JSON API?

Also, you can also see in the screenshot that the forecast is way off... The date/time panel shows that it's Thursday today while in the forecast it says today is Saturday. This bug inconsistently shows up; sometimes the forecast is good and sometimes it shifts forward in time. I'm not sure yet whether this is also linked to the API problem; if not, I can open a new bug.

• Filling the Label field has no effect.
• The left and right options in Position in Panel are exchanged (i.e., selecting left makes the notification appear on the right side of the panel and viceversa).
• The checkboxes (Translate Weather Conditions, Symbolic Icons, Show text in Panel, Show Comment in Panel) seems to have no effect (e.g., symbolic icons are always displayed, even if I uncheck the related checkbox).

Maybe it's just me but I want the readout to be in degrees C and mph (I personally don't care about the pressure).

I finally realized it's the fault of the limited Yahoo API, such that for the 'yweather:units' it appears setting the temperature units automatically sets the units for the other items (speed, pressure, etc...)

This means g-s-e-w needs to do these conversions itself (when specified) - I don't think Yahoo API provides way to set individual units.

Hello,

do you plan to add the possibility to configure multiple city?

Thanks.

LGDN

Thank you for your amazing work.

I took a look into the extension.js file and found the "current weather" comes from http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastjson?p=chxx0099 unlike the url for the forecasting.

For some unknown reasons, the current weather status of some Asian cities (like chxx0099, Nanjing, China) returned by Yahoo json api is outdated. Thus it was the weather several months ago in fact.

There were some similar reports (Indian city) on the Yahoo developer forum without positive response.

Would you please change the source of "the current weather" to YQL or RSS? They are correct by my test.

Thank you for your work again and sorry for my english.

The file po/gnome-shell-extension-weather.pot is outdated and must be updated in order to contain strings that have been added recently.

How is this done?

It's not really a issue (I don't find how post a request).

It's will be nice if we could set two differents WOEID and to watch the time for two (or more) differentes places.

Hi,

I'm using your weather shell extension on a machine here that is behind a proxy. I have configured a proxy in my network preferences and logged out of the shell and back in and yet still the weather extension is trying to access the yahoo weather service directly and not via the proxy.

What is strange is that I do see mention of using a proxy resolver in the extension code:

        Soup.Session.prototype.add_feature.call(session, new Soup.ProxyResolverDefault());

I don't know why it's not using it though.

Hi.
I have a problem with the extension in my gnome 3 installed from gnome-unstable archlinux repository. The version is 3.1.91.

Here is the error from looking glass (lg)
"[email protected]" had error: extension is not compatible with current GNOME Shell and/or GJS version

The weather extension is showing weather for Saturday, but today is Thursday.

$ date
Thu Dec 15 13:35:29 EST 2011

Steps to reproduce bug:

1. update to latest git version
2. restart gnome shell (correct date is used)
3. leave computer on overnight
4. check weather and notice that date for "today" and "tomorrow" are wrong (and the weather report is also incorrect)
5. click the weather extension a few times and wait
6. it eventually updates to the correct date and weather report

Let me know if there are more diagnostics I can provide.

Have a look at this StackOverflow question.

Maybe we can integrate a form in the README that uses the second link in the approved answer (or even better limits the SELECT to woeid).

This happens to me with Fedora 15 when I try to compile it.

This looks like a useful extension, could it be added to extensions.gnome.org ?

(Apologies if it is already, I couldn't find it by searching for weather)

following #16 has no results.

From #6:

Also... could the items in the main display be links to the appropriate pages on Yahoo? I'd suggest that the 'today' and 'tomorrow' items be links to the forecast for the next few days, and the 'current' item be a link to the hourly forecast.

Hello again,

could you add an "about" dialog box where we could obtain this information:

Version number
web address
github address for bug
name of the developper and contributor?

Thanks, very promising app.

LGDN

Hello,

with other weather indicator, we could obtain a forecast for several days, do you plan to add this feature?

Thanks.

Romain.

Though gnome-shell restarts immediately afterwards, I suspect this is causing some random crashing/restart of gnome-shell, I haven't been able to narrow it down though... Still doing some testing.

weather extension gets error main.panel.actor.get_direction is not a function

Subject sums it up. How would I go about getting useful information on this? If I enable the extension I get the "Oh snap!" and have to log out...

If this hasn't been already, it should be added to extensions.gnome.org

Extension gets an error: "Failed to evaluate init function:Type Error: this.actor.set_child is not a function"

I guess it's because 3.1.92 (I just updated to it now).

I got an email:

Is it means the current weather information would refresh every 4 minutes? I want to change it by myself.

The solution should be to make the update interval configurable via the dconf settings.

I know the configurator has been disabled for now, but I'm using it and wanted to let you know that the city and WOEID are not saved when changing them using the new Configurator tool. The rest of the settings work just fine.

gnome-shell-extension-weather doesn't work with the Application Menu extension from GNOME Shell frippery (http://intgat.tigress.co.uk/rmy/extensions/index.html).

The problem is that the Application Menu extension replaces the Activities button with an Application Menu so when gnome-shell-extension-weather tries to get the height of the Activities button it fails.

I suggest using Main.panel.actor.get_theme_node().get_height()-2 as the icon size instead of Main.panel.button.get_child().height. This should work so long as there's a top panel, and I have no plans to write an extension that removes the top panel :-)
