my-weather-indicator 0.6.1.2.quantal.1-1ubuntu1 not starting

[Bob]

my-weather-indicator 0.6.1.2.quantal.1-1ubuntu1
Ubuntu 12.10
I just installed the weather indicator and find the icon in the dash and click on it to start and it doesn't.

Any ideas?

Confirm. Starting from a terminal gives the following output:

This was after purging and re-installing. However, MWI was not starting from the original install, which did NOT use Yahoo-I got an API key from WeatherUnderground.

This leads me to believe it's not a problem with Yahoo.

I am having the same problem. In the dash my-weather-indicator does appear but does not start. It does not autostart and the command 'my-weather-indicator' is not found when trying to open it on terminal, even though I can open it if I go to where the command is located. Any help with this?

[Miguel (legolin)]

Same problem with ubuntu 12.04.2. It seems to be a problem with Yahoo.

This affects me too, Booted my Ubuntu 12.10 Laptop yesterday and My-Weather-indicator just doesn't run any more, got a crash report that auto reported. Tried re-installing - no effect.

[CitizenKlaw (joelpomales)]

Not working for me. Uninstalled and reinstalled and it doesn't even load.

[Miguel (legolin)]

I erased ~/.config/my-weather-indicator/my-weather-indicator.conf and the problem seems to be solved. Just make sure you are selecting any weather service that is not Yahoo when you configure the program.

[Chris (kyfho23)]

I don't know how I missed the .config entry...I did go looking for it!
Anyway, working now.

i just edited ~/.config/my-weather-indicator/my-weather-indicator.conf and remove the line specifying Yahoo! That worked, but the app stuck and I had to reboot. After reboot no problems. The app takes a long time to process changes and sometimes freezes forcing a reboot 0n 12.10.

[Dave H (dave-hills-2009)]

Editing my-weather-indicator.conf as described above worked for me too, many thanks.

[paulf (paulf-linux-launchpad)]

I removed the .conf file and then reran the program. as long as i didnt change my location and took all the defaults it seems to work. as soon as i tried to change my location it hung.

[Bob (bbrazie)]

I have found that it doesn't really hang it just takes a l o n g time to process the information.
Just wait it out. <g>
