Indicator always shows a crossed red circle

[Evgeny Makarov]

On my machine, the indicator is started in the Startup Applications. The indicator never works and only shows a crossed red circle. The menu shows no information ("Location", "Temperature", "Pressure" and so on). This behavior started probably a month ago.

When I start the indicator from the terminal and select "Forecast", it crashes and prints

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/extras.ubuntu.com/my-weather-indicator/share/my-weather-indicator/myweatherindicator.py", line 730, in menu_forecast_response
    fc = FC(self.location,self.ws,self.weather1)
AttributeError: 'MWI' object has no attribute 'weather1'

When I select "Evolution", it crashes with

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/extras.ubuntu.com/my-weather-indicator/share/my-weather-indicator/myweatherindicator.py", line 718, in menu_evolution_response
    for data in self.weatherservice1.get_hourly_weather():
  File "/opt/extras.ubuntu.com/my-weather-indicator/share/my-weather-indicator/wopenweathermapapi.py", line 124, in get_hourly_weather
    parsed_json = json.loads(json_string.decode())
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'decode'

Please let me know what other information I can provide.

Same here. I typed the URL it's using into my browser and got this message:

`Invalid API key. Please see http://openweathermap.org/faq#error401 for more info.`

That's probably leading to this error. But why is the openweathermap API key invalid?

If I switch Weather provider in preferences to Yahoo, it starts working again.

I have got same problem on all my desktops (4 pcs. of ubuntu 14.04.3) since 29.9.2015. Propably some bad update?

I had this same problem, but just fixed it without changing weather services.

I uninstalled the app with:
sudo apt-get remove my-weather-indicator
sudo apt-get purge my-weather-indicator

..and then reinstalled it with the PPA source, using the instructions found here: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/10/install-weather-indicator-ubuntu-14-10

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/atareao
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install my-weather-indicator

Once I did, I opened it up in the launcher as usual and it started working again. :)

Ubuntu 15.04

I have run through these instructions a few times, same result: I end up with a red crossed circle. I am running Ubuntu 14.04. Any further suggestions will be welcomed.
II see that there are three options in the index of /atareao/atareao/ubuntu/pool/main/m/my-weather-indicator - I have tried two of these, perhaps the third one (the smaller version) is the right one?

I have tried the Debian option once more, as this seems to be the right one to use, but no success.
