Same here, Hardy amd64 with all updates until today applied.

[der_vegi (m-may)]

Strange, the location is set to Muinich, although I had it set up with another city. It works fine, showing the weather there, until I try to change the location. When I go to location, nothing is shown. Closing this window works, but if I type something in the 'search' field, the program crashes immediately. The 'XML database' error is shown as well at the beginning.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Thanks, it seems to be related to bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=511676

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Can someone confirm that are the same steps to recreate the crash? because the stacktrace isn't good enough to determine it, thanks.

[miked (miked11)]

mine defaults on Ottawa
right click on weather icon
left click on Preferences
error message pops up:
Failed to load the Locations XML database. Please report this as a bug. (with[ok]button)
click on ok button
Weather Preferences windows opens
click Location tab
Select a Location (Box-No Locations Listed)
Find:(Box only)
Left click in Find Box
Type <Shift>+P (for Portland)
No letter appears
wait 10 seconds
Crash report notification appears with {!} and all
Error message Pops up:

Added Info

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Please don't submit .crash files to the reports, instead you can use apport to send them, go with nautilus to /var/crash/ and double click on them, then apport will allow you to send the report to launchpad. thanks.

[miked (miked11)]

No Problem, but your assuming that nautilus is working right, and that it will let you report it automatically when you click on it. I had my nautilus messaged up on this distro and it still is not working quite right. I have also seen the crash files disappear in the past, so I figured it was more useful to send too much info, instead of no or too little info. I continue to see bugs that I got thru Alpha, Beta, & RC testing make it into the Final because I didn't quite report it right, or include enough info, or understand I needed to run something else. I have also had major crashes that take out the system (like a video crash) that make my system unusable for me, I have learned to recover from a few of them, but they still happen every once in a while. I also test these distros on multiple computers with multiple hard drives and so trying to send relevant info a.s.a.p. works better for me. Isn't that info in the .crash file useful to somebody ?, I figured I just didn't know enough about debugging to understand it all, and that people that can read those, might see bigger patterns from multiple crash reports from one system or a single package. Does it take up to much space on the system ?, Does it cause the page to load slower? Is it full of useless info ? On this report, I did not submit it first, so doesn't my report help confirm the crash ?, and if I did not send a .crash report, the only info you would have about my crash, would be what I tried to tell you in my comment, and that would probably only be helpful if I knew a little bit about what happen or what I am talking about. So Thanks.

[der_vegi (m-may)]

Works for me now, with all the updates applied until today. Can anyone confirm this?

[miked (miked11)]

I have moved to Hardy Heron Alpha 4 via fresh install from Live CD.
after trying a
root@HewittRand-desktop:~# sudo apt-get remove libselinux1
as suggested by someone to fix another constantly crashing program.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poker-network/+bug/95836/comments/11
nothing really worked on my computer after that, so I had to re-install, so I put the new Alpha 4 on here.
So I guess you can close the bug as it relates to me, for now, and I will file if it happens again.
thanks
