Description R. Steven Rainwater 2002-02-14 18:34:04 UTC 
Package: gnome-applets
Severity: normal
Version: 0.05
Synopsis: GNOME Weather Applet crashes when set to TX cities
Bugzilla-Product: gnome-applets
Bugzilla-Component: gweather

Description:
When the weather applet starts it's always set to Pittsburgh. If I set
it to any of the Dallas or Ft. Worth, TX options it crashes when I click
"apply" or "okay" on the pref dialog. I have tried cities in other
states and it works okay. Seems to be just Texas cities. Any ideas?

Comment 1 Luis Villa 2002-02-14 19:00:08 UTC 
If the developer could remove the GNOME2 keyword if this is not
relevant to the 2.0 port that would rock :)
Comment 2 Kevin Vandersloot 2002-02-21 03:42:51 UTC 
GNOME2 removed as it WORKSFORME
Comment 3 R. Steven Rainwater 2002-02-22 18:03:22 UTC 
The Dallas and Ft. Worth Area cities mysteriously started working for
me a few days after filing this bug (no change in software versions at
my end). This prompted me to do a little more investigation - it
appears to me that what's happing is if the service for a given city
is unavailble for some reason, gweather crashes rather than just
retrying or timing out. By going through the list and picking random
cities I was able to find others where it crashed. Even though Dallas
started working for me, I've since it had a crash several times
randomly. After a few hours of crashing on Dallas, though, it usually
will work again. Looks to me like it just needs some error handling
code somewhere that will make it handle unavailable service or
unexpected result gracefully instead just crashing.
Comment 4 Kjartan Maraas 2002-02-24 08:41:06 UTC 
Is this with 1.4.x? And if so what version of gnome-applets?
Comment 5 Kimberly A. Knowles 2002-06-06 18:30:15 UTC 
I have seen a similar problem with the gweather applet returning
to Pittsburgh (but no crashes) after some period of time.  (I can
tell it's wrong because it never rains in California in the summer....)
This is with gnome-applets-1.4.0.5-6 rpm for RedHat 7.x.  I set it
to San Luis Obispo, CA.
