[cinnamon-weather] release announcement -- 1.8.0

[TM]

(repost)

Version 1.8.0 is now available through the applet manager in `cinnamon-settings`.

http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/17

This release uses the new applet settings api.  Running scripts with root permission is no longer required.

Note weather@mockturtl 1.8.0 requires Cinnamon 1.8, available from Linux Mint's repos.  If your distribution uses an earlier release of Cinnamon, contact a maintainer.

Please reply to this list if you experience any difficulty upgrading, or file a bug.

I can´t install this version. I got this message:

An error occurred during installation or updating.  You may wish to report this incident to the developer of weather@mockturtl.

If this was an update, the previous installation is unchanged

Details:  [Errno 2] Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

[TM]

Thanks for reporting the problem. I had a little trouble upgrading
myself -- I'm not sure how cleanly it should go.

Try uninstalling via the `cinnamon-settings` Applet menu, and restarting
Cinnamon. Refresh the applet list and reinstall via the Applet menu.

Does that help?


The most extreme cleanup routine is to run the `uninstall` script that
ships with v1.7.x, and log out of the desktop session. I'm hoping this
isn't required to upgrade smoothly.

A few users have reported a similar problem on the spices page.

If anyone did not experience problems upgrading, please let me know,
too. It will help me gauge whether to update the README.

There are no code changes.

[Alexander Pap.]

The page for searching the WOEID (http://edg3.co.uk/snippets/weather-location-codes/greece/) does not list my city (Ioannina). The alternative search does though (http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=ioannina) but that WOEID does not work with the applet. This is the page in yahoo weather http://weather.yahoo.com/greece/epirus-and-western-macedonia/ioannina-950482/

[TM]

Version 1.8.7 is now available.

I can't upgrade, the checkbox is greyed out in the Applets list.


Besides it still just writes "Not available" and shows nothing else than the temp. Any hope to have this fixed soon?

Is the applet index/cache up to date? (Click the "Refresh list" button.)

Yahoo's API is returning an unknown `code` for your location.

https://github.com/mockturtl/cinnamon-weather/blob/master/applet.js#L886

It's probably temporary. Let me know if the problem persists, and I'll
open an issue.

[Geoffroy Ménard]

Ok, I was wrong, the number I got isn't the weather for my location, it's from Sudbury Ontario 1000kms from here. It seems I'l have to use the weather from Montreal 200 kms south from here, it's not going to be very accurate...
Do you really need to use Yahoo API? Its coverage is really weak. Both AOL and weather.com give weather for my town.

Maybe you'd want to link to this one in the applet, it is more functionnal than edg3.co.uk.

I live in Victoriaville, Canada. When I search it on edg3.co.uk (the site your applet links to to lookup the WOEID) it just says no results found. Entering Victoriaville on rosselliot returns "Arthabaska, 3496". Arthabaska is the name of a district in the town of Victoriaville, I'd never have thought to look it up for weather, but there it is. It gives the 3496 code so if I enter CAXX3496 in the applet I get the right weather.

 If I try Drummondville, the biggest city around, I get CAXX0672, which returns "not available" in the applet. rosselliot returns "3510"; if I enter CAXX3510 in the applet it gives the right weather for Drummondville.

Also after testing on major cities around I realised it was indeed my location the problem (I had tried several big cities before that all returned Unknown location so I thought your applet didn't work). I looked around and found a web site that gave me a location nearby for which data is available. Thanks.

Hi,

I've installed LM16 et tried to use your desklet and maybe where the location should be, I see this text :
"Project-Id-Version: PACKAGE VERSION\n"
"Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: \n"
"POT-Creation-Date: 2014-01-07 13:47-0500\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: YEAR-MO-DA HO:MI+ZONE\n"
"Last-Translator: FULL NAME <EMAIL@ADDRESS>\n"
"Language-Team: LANGUAGE <L...@li.org>\n"
"Language: \n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=CHARSET\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"

I'm trying to override the location but it doesn't change anything.

An idea ?

Thanks

[4nt01n3]

Sorry,

Not this text exactly (I can't copy it), but the result of this (it's the beginning of the translation fr.po)

[TM]

This mailing list is only for the panel applet:

http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/17

If you're having trouble with localization in a desklet, you should contact its developer.

[4nt01n3]

OK I'm wrong, I'm talking about the panel applet.
I've tried to upload a picture but Google just put a long long code...

[TM]

That's fine -- it's base64.

The text you're seeing is from the translation template (.pot) file.
I'm not sure how it got there.

Cinnamon compiles the .po file for your locale during applet
installation; maybe it failed.

Is other text translated correctly?

What is your locale? (I think the output of `echo $LANG` will tell us.)

[Geert Wirken]

Perhaps an empty source string for gettext? Empty msgid's contain the PO file metadata.
