Weather Indicator

Detailed weather data is not displayed

Asked by István Váradi

After upgrading to Saucy (and still taking the indicator from the PPA) it ceased to display the menu items containing the detailed weather data.

I am using version 13.7.1 with the Python Weather API 0.3.6. I think I had the same versions before, but it ceased to work after the upgrade. What could be the problem?

If I modify the code to create the menu items in menu_normal() like this:

self.city_show = Gtk.MenuItem("X")

for all such initially empty items, it works properly. I am not sure what the real solution should be, perhaps force some relayout of the menu in show_new_weather_data() and show_cached_weather().

Thanks for the fix István.

For those looking to apply this, the file you need to update is "indicator-weather" in the folder "/usr/bin".

Besides changing those values for weather conditions there needs to be done one more such edit for "Refresh" option to appear.

Actually, you'll need to exit the program and relaunch

Thanks István Váradi, something must have changed in GTK.

Whereas before you could call Gtk.MenuItem() without specifying a label and then call set_label() later to update it, now if you create a MenuItem without specifying a label, any later calls to set_label on it do nothing.

The fix will be in the next Unstable build, and the next release.
