Ubuntu – Gnome shell weather extension is not showing correct weather information

11.10gnomegnome-shellgnome-shell-extension

I am on Ubuntu 11.10 and I have installed Gnome shell extensions.

For the weather extension the problem is that it is only showing the temperature that it showed when installed for the first time. That means while the current temperature is 25 it is continuing to show it as 32.

I have entered the correct WOEID.

Need your help to solve this issue.

This is what i did:

  1. go to http://weather.yahoo.com and enter your location
  2. klick on "RSS" (on the right side)
  3. your location code is shown in the address-bar (eg. weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=GMXX0087&u=f)
  4. copy your code (GMXX0087 in my case) and open a terminal
  5. set location and city with

    gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather woeid "'GMXX00187'"

    gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.weather city YOURCITY

  6. logout & login again
