indicator-weather crashed with KeyError in save_location_details(): 'yahoo id'

Fixed in the bzr210 package in Unstable PPA

Has the fix reached the official packages? I just had this on a freshly updated system.

Reopening per comment from Lucian.
Lucian, did this happen while adding Senica city or any other?

This just happened to me when trying to add Dublin (Ireland).

This also happened when I tried Gua Musang city

This always happens when I would add a city, what is not in the list of service provider (Yahoo or Google).

still happening to me

Programme still crashing

Same here...

I wonder if this is going to be resolve before stable are release..?

Reopening this, as it keeps happening for many cities that Yahoo does not support.
I think the only solution is that if a weather source (Yahoo in this case) is not available for a location, we support it by using the rest of weather sources (Google in this case).
So, even if Yahoo is chosen as default weather source, we provide weather from Google for these missing locations.
Perhaps we should notify the user somehow (maybe in the Assistant dialog)

how to apply patch?

Still occurring for me on Ubuntu 11.04. I click the icon to set up weather, have changed the source between yahoo and google, went to add location (Dublin, Ireland), put the name as Dublin, then when I apply the settings it crashes.

Ubuntu 11.04 Beta
Version: 11.04.10+repack-0ubuntu2

Just changed the weather source to Google but I still get an Yahoo_id error message when I try to add a few cities here in Brazil (like Campo Grande - Mato Grosso do Sul, which used to work in Ubuntu Classic with Gnome)

Fixed in 11.04.24 version

Today's update fixed the problem for me. Thanks a lot.

Now I cannot add Ho Chi Minh city (Vietnam).

This is fixed the unstable ppa. But we need to update the standard natty package, cause duplicates keep coming every day.

Greetings!

I would like to report that "Skopje" (Macedonia) could not be added as well.

What I've noticed is that when I search for the city, I get "Skopje, Karpoš, Macedonia" (where, "Skopje, Macedonia" should be better), while in Google: http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=Skopje it says:
<city data="Skopje, Butel Municipality"/>
<postal_code data="Skopje"/>

Also, I've wanted to try and change the city data by myself, but I couldn't find indicator-weather in gconf-editor (and I couldn't find if it's written somewhere else). So, any solution to be done from my side, or I need to wait on a newer version?

Thank you guys for the hard and helpful work that you are doing!

Hi,

I am unable to add my city also..It is kadapa,Andhra Pradesh,India.. When i click on the apply button,nothing happens.I have to do force quit the indicator-weather

Vasil:
you can try edit settings here (this file is in your home folder)

.local/share/desktop-couch/couchdb.html

because WI uses CouchDB to store settings and cache data instead of dconf (deprecated gconf)

For the people still experiencing the problem:
This issue has been fixed in the version included in the PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~weather-indicator-team/+archive/ppa

Hi,
I am unable to add the ppa.I am getting this error.

I can only recommend to try with a bigger city near by.

Ok..The Thing is when i click on the forecast,i am getting the
forecast correctly,but why it is not displaying temperature on the
panel..I think if it is displaying in the forecast,it has to be
displayed in the panel also

I advice you to use the nearest city that works

I just upgraded using the ppa and this bug still affects me. I can't add Changsha, Hunan, China. When I try to apply the location nothing happens. I'm not sure if you call that a 'crash' as the app still keeps running.

Anyways, Los Angeles works fine, which is what I suppose I'll have to use until this is fixed. Changsha is the capital of Hunan Province, so there aren't any bigger cities reasonably close by.

Also I should note that Changsha does come up on the list when I search for it. It seems like Yahoo is what is holding this whole app back. Why not just totally remove Yahoo? Or at least have an option to disable Yahoo totally.

Hi Joey,
I have successfully added Changsha, Hunan, China, in the latest ppa version.
Please attach the log file (~/cache/indicator-weather.log)
When a location is missing from Yahoo (as Changsha), Google is used, so it's
not really a problem.

Hmm, I just upgraded to Natty and am not super familiar with it yet. It does not seem to be able to find that .log file. Do you know the full directory in Ubuntu? I just tried again and it is definitely still not working. I should mention again, I'm not sure if this is a 'crash' exactly. I try to click the 'apply' button and nothing happens. The app keeps working otherwise though and I can still hit cancel, which successfully cancels the changes.

It's in home folder under .cache subfolder

Ok, here it is.

It seems to show an error from Yahoo and then it says it adds the location, but it doesn't really do anything, so I end up having to cancel.

I have an different issue - My city does show up on the search bar and I can add it to the list, but I won't receive any weather info. The weather-indicator orange icon sits there, idle. When I click to update, it shows "Update(Just now)" and after a minute, "Update(1 min. ago.)" and so on. I'm on Recife, capital of Pernambuco, Brasil. It's the biggest town I could use. I can get information on Yahoo! (http://br.tempo.yahoo.com/brasil/pernambuco/recife-26802900/) and on Google (http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=Recife). The latter one shows the "city data" as one of the neighbourhoods (Recife Antigo), I don't know if this affects it.
If this makes any difference, I can still get weather info on Maverick'.

Gtmoraes1, could you please post a screenshot of your issue and attach the log from ~/.cache/indicator-weather.log?

Sure, here it goes

Screenshot here: http://i55.tinypic.com/2d95wcp.png
Log attached

Oh sorry, forgot to say: I've tried several combinations to see if the program works, like adding New York (Nova Iorque, on the log), "Reef" (the word 'Recife', in english), 'Recife' in another state (which worked, but info doesn't match). I've settled down to my town around 5AM

It seems, that you are affected by bug #776586

Yup, it's this bug. I'll report from there now

Sorry for the duplicate post (I didn't see the duplication bug notice).

Happening here for two cities in Spain:

Vigo, Galicia, Spain
Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Spain

PPA version.

Still having this problem

Still having this problem as of august 2011. i have two machines, same os, same app, different hardware. it does not work on the netbook, but it does work on my tower...??

please help!

Thanks. :)

Add this ppa and update to latest version
https://launchpad.net/~weather-indicator-team/+archive/ppa

I don't know why ubuntu doesn't update their packages. This should help.

Upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 has solved this issue for me.
There is indicator-weather 11.05.31-0ubuntu2.1 which probably contains the fix.

There seems to be a regression as this doesn't work on the current 13.04 release...

Apparently, Yahoo changed their GeoPlanet API and the old URL for resolving city names into WOEID now returns 404 Not Found. Therefore, this is not a regression in 13.04 -- this problem affects all users of indicator-weather.

I am looking into the new Yahoo API - hopefully, there is an easy way to fix the problem.

It also affects 12.04 LTS, but like you said "this problem affects all users of indicator-weather."

There has been a flurry of activity at indicator-weather ppa in the past two weeks thanks to some new members in the project team:
https://launchpad.net/weather-indicator/

Apparently, the current version 13.05.27 no longer suffers from the WOEID 404 Not Found problem. The new version requires pywapi v.3, which must be installed alongside indicator-weather. It appears that pywapi v.3 has not yet been pushed to the standard repositories for 12.04 LTS and 13.04; therefore, Precise and Raring users must add the pywapi ppa manually. It looks like Quantal users already have pywapi v.3 in the standard Ubuntu repos.

Hi All,

I am pretty new to Ubuntu and I just installed indicator-weather. I am having a problem running the "Setup".

When I open the setup and try to change anything, the "OK" button is never enabled. When I try to setup the location, the "Next" button is never enabled. I had entered a zipcode and the address is displayed and selected it. The spinning search icon, above the search button, just keeps spinning.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

(I attached the log file)

Thanks,
Steve
