Hello everybody, After waiting for several months of fixing this issue, I finally spend few hours to understand why it's takes so long.
My understanding is that weather-indicator is based on pywapi weather API which has support of 1. Google (apparently not usable anymore) 2. Yahoo (1 day forecast avaiable througth API - it is not a joke! ) 3. NOAA (Available for US only) Looks like the maintainer fellows are switching the underlying library which support more public frendly providers. This may take a while. In the meantime I will use my patched version to get forecast from Yahoo. Yes, I know 1 day forecast is scanty. But after all it's better than disappointing error notifcation. In fact only two file need to be updated: - /usr/bin/indicator-weather - /usr/share/indicator-weather/ui/ExtendedForecast.ui Hope somebody find this patch useful. ** Patch added: "Patch form against indicator-weather_11.11.28.orig.tar.gz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-weather/+bug/1048193/+attachment/3460910/+files/yahoo-forecast.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-weather in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1048193 Title: "Forecast Information Cannot be fetched.
