My-Weather-Indicator has stopped working after the last update

[Mikhail Minyaev]

After one of the last updates My-Weather-Indicator has stopped working.
The Weather-Indicator does not start from the ClassicMenu Indicator or Dash.
I have tried reinstalling it and installing python3, however all of these have failed.
From the command line I keep getting the following:

Appears to have stopped working after the kernel update to 3.13.0-44-generic on 12.04LTS. Still works in 14.10 after its kernel update.

[Bill Miller (wbmilleriii)]

My prior comment is incorrect, it also stopped working on 14.10

[rob006 (robo006)]

Kernel has nothing to do with it, its look like openweathermap api stops working properly. After changing to Yahoo everything is OK, so it can be considered as a temporary solution.
After all widget should not crashed because of wrong response from api.

[Bill Miller (wbmilleriii)]

I cannot change to Yahoo because the program will not start.

[rob006 (robo006)]

You can delete ~/.config/my-weather-indicator directory (that restore default settings) or change it directly in config file (it's simple JSON) in that directory.

[Mikhail Minyaev (mminyaev)]

Information in the last comment has worked for me.

[Bill Miller (wbmilleriii)]

Thanks, I was able to edit the config file and get it to work again.

[IngPaolo (ingpaolo)]

On my Ubuntu 14.04.2 amd64 after kernel update to Linux 3.16.0.49 suddenly stopped working. Never had any problem before. Version my-weather-indicator0.6.9-0extras14.04.2; crashed with keyerror in get_weather(): 'list'.

Changing to "weather-service": "yahoo" (editing the configuration file ~/.config/my-weather-indicator/my-weather-indicator.conf) worked for me too.

[Gerald (gfe)]

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit, and the weather indicator also stopped working for me recently. I don't know if the failure was due to an update; I assumed that the problem was with Yahoo.

I was able to get the indicator working (sort of) by getting an API key from Weather Underground and using it instead of Yahoo. But the temperatures were off because apparently WU wasn't getting my location correct.

I have been unable to use the Preferences dialog to change (or set after reinstallation) my location -- it simply doesn't list possible locations, and the readings don't change regardless of what I put in for a location. I was finally able to get things working properly by manually editing the configuration file to include my latitude and longitude.

[Bill Miller (wbmilleriii)]

It quit working for me again after this last kernel update. I gave up,
uninstalled it, and just updated my conky to show the weather info.
