GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 591570
gweather conditions always unknown
Last modified: 2010-06-30 12:20:58 UTC
Please describe the problem: Weather conditions for Montreal, Canada, America are always unknown. Icon is always set to a sunny condition because of missing information. This is not a network problem. It works fine for other city in Canada (Quebec, Canada for example). Values that are unknown: - Conditions - Sky - Pressure - Visibility Values that have info: - City - Last update - Temperature - Feels like - Dew point - Relative humidity - Wind - Sunrise - Sunset Worked fine a month ago. Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to weather preferences of gweather applet or clock applet. 2. Select North America > Canada > Quebec > Montreal as location. 3. If needed, update the previsions. Actual results: No information about the weather is given (sky for example), where the icon change to a sunny forecast with "Unknown" written. Expected results: Information about forecast conditions, sky, pressure and visibility. An icon showing the forecast in the gweather applet and in the clock applet. Does this happen every time? Every time Other information:
Created attachment 145147 [details] [review] set correct coord. for Montreal
I can confirm this for 2.28.x as well. Montreal doesn't show a fully featured weather report, and the icon always is at "Sunny". This is also reported as Ubuntu bug #404616: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgweather/+bug/404616 I've attached a patch that fixes the issue by specifying different coordinates for Montreal; instead of the coordinates of the McTavish station, it uses the coordinates for the Pierre-Eliott Trudeau airport, which provides more weather information than McTavish (which pretty much only has temperature).
Was the fix commit upstream? I guess so because in Ubuntu 10.04 it's fixed. If so, we could close this bug.
