cant add a city

os is Ubuntu 12.10

Do you select "Google" from Source Weather Data in Preferences? If yes, try "Yahoo" because I had the similar problem.

Same problem on Oneiric 11.10.

Makes no difference at all whether I choose Yahoo or Google.

Makes no difference what location I try (e.g. London, Paris, New York).

The Apply button does nothing but produce the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/indicator-weather", line 1882, in on_apply
    (location_code, location_details) = self.location.export_location_details()
  File "/usr/bin/indicator-weather", line 405, in export_location_details
    return (self.location_code, self.location_details)
AttributeError: Location instance has no attribute 'location_code'

I did manage to add a location using the gsettings example at http://askubuntu.com/questions/90134/indicator-weather-hangs-when-trying-to-change-location but Baton Rouge weather isn't too useful for me.

I suppose I might be able to find the appropriate gsettings command to make this work, but wouldn't it be better if the app just worked?

Yahoo shut down their public/free PlaceFinder service and that's what broke the app.

They suggest using their public/free YQL service instead, so I rewrote the add location part to use YQL instead of PlaceFinder.

You can get an updated package from my PPA here: https://code.launchpad.net/~jtasker/+archive/weather-indicator/

Hope that helps
