OK, I give up... How does one change the weather station from Innsbruck? I wandered the source code and found "woeid" but no info on how to set it....... Thanks Ralph
I hope to have that fixed in the next release. There's a configuration menu, but it doesn't work yet.
If you're wandering, start with the README. ;)
Work perfect! Thank you, waiting about this from long time...
(by google translator) hello, I'm using applets weather, the installation manually, ./ test did not work, the setting made ??using the "gsettings set cinnamon-weather@mockturtl woeid BRXX0091", working perfect, I miss the translation for my language (Portuguese - Brazil) will have in the future or can I do it manually, I can edit the file applet.js?
I can't get the read me to come up. It just says "cannot open" for some reason.
I was able to get the woeid set but now the applet does not appear in the panel. I don't understand what the problem is.
applet works perfect :), but cinnamon-weather-settings need a little change : sed -i 's|CinnamonWeatherSettings|WeatherConfigurator|' "cinnamon-weather-settings" and after the configurator works i created a package for arch user : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=56870
Thanks ktalog.
Thanks everyone! Obviously. I missed the README.md file in the download. I was looking in the install location for help and the REaDME file doesn't get copied there. Ralph
hello, nice applet! i translated the applet.js to german, http://www.mediafire.com/file/pvaqd36wmvac13r/applet.js its not perfect, but how want can use it.
Good applet, thanks. You can use following link for find to woeid alternatively http://edg3.co.uk/snippets/weather-location-codes/
Excellent! It is working great now ;)
This is great but I miss one thing from the extension, the ability to display icons in the popup display as symbolic icons.
here's the translation for Portuguese-Brazil http://goo.gl/S9bAx
testing vs 1.2 had this error ./test po/de.po:7: header field `Language-Team' missing in header po/nb.po:7: header field `Language-Team' missing in header po/nl.po:7: header field `Language-Team' missing in header po/sv.po:7: header field `Language-Team' missing in header po/uk.po:7: header field `Language-Team' missing in header
5 stars! This was my favorite extension from the beginning. I'm so happy it's now an applet. :)
Thanks for the feedback everyone.
ok now this, last update was well, had no errors, Brazil-Portuguese translation is okay, scored five stars and waiting for more tests
Well working great.
thanks... great job
@mockturtl : Your link does not work for finding the city. It only shows perhaps some USA cities. Kindly replace the link with what @butterfly given. That link works perfectly.
That's much nicer. Thanks.
I a
Sorry Very nice and working very well. Thanks. The French text takes a little more place than the English one and, for this reason, I think the containing box should probably be made a little bigger.
With the most popular icon theme for Linux (Faenza) and dark panel a lot of the weather icons become illegible, I basically can't use this until support for symbolic icons (like the Gnome Shell extensions has) is added back in. Whereas normal icons have fixed colouring, symbolic icons follow theme set colours, in this case the panel's colour scheme. It's very handy for panel icons and Cinnamon's basic system applets (power, network, volume) also use symbolic icons for the same reason.
I did not use your latest version which is really perfect, even for French !! Apologies for my above messages and congratulations. Five stars for sure.
Perfect! Btw http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=your city here also works great you have to put your city name in the url like this: http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=london etc. :)
this applet works on cinnamon in fedora 16? can't figure out the installation o.o'
agree with bimsebasse re symbolic icons. theres a small discussion about this here as well http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/27
Symbolic icons display correctly in Mint-X: http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/5395/weathersymoblic.png
This indicates it's a problem with Faenza. I don't know how themes work, so if there's a change I should make in the applet, I'll be happy to do so. http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-shell-list/2011-February/msg00191.html
Ooh I wish mine looked like yours or that I knew what's wrong on my machine Gnome Shell weather extension Faenza: http://i.imgur.com/B8E6v.png Mint-X: http://i.imgur.com/XMATt.png Cinnamon applet Faenza: http://i.imgur.com/aV75o.png Mint-X: http://i.imgur.com/kOU8p.png
Bim, try this: run the INSTALL script for Faenza again, choose "Y" for the last question ("Do you want to replace some 22x22 applications icons by their monochrome counterpart to be displayed in system tray ?"). http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/320/4/f/faenza_icons_by_tiheum-d2v6x24.zip That fixed it for me. http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/920/weathersymoblicfaenza.png
I have a similar issue to bimsebasse but with Mint Xtra...
mockturl... did you ever work out this icon issue that bimsebasse pointed out? The previous suggestion you made didn't seem to work for me.
Sidhartha, I'm not sure what might cause the problem. I don't think it's the applet -- I just installed Mint-Xtra, and I can't reproduce. From the forums: http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/7151/screenshotat20120309121.png
This was cool in Shell (kudos to the original dev.), it was great to see it ported to Cinnamon (can't remember who did it initially as an extension), and it's just brilliant now as an applet! Congrats to everyone involved.
mockturtl... I feel like an idiot. I didn't have symbolic icons turned on! Working perfectly now.
Sweet to be able to enter the zip code and get the exact right weather! Just wish the install of applets was a one-click thing.
Hi, pretty good applet and I liked it. I would like to see the weather of two or more locations.
Ran install script, logged out and back in, added Weather applet, saw the applet in the panel with no location set. When I type 'gsettings set org.cinnamon.applets.weather@mockturtl woeid USNY0996' in the terminal I get: No such schema 'org.cinnamon.applets.weather@mockturtl' Googled for a solution and could not find one that worked for me. I'm running a fresh install of Mint 12 and Cinnamon. Any ideas?
Same as newkansan. Trying to run your applets but it outputs an error into log: cinnamon_weather::_init: Schema "org.cinnamon.applets.weather@mockturtl" not found. Running at LMDE, updated it to UP4 and installed cinnamon. Then added applets from this place. How can it be solved?
Oh sorry for that question. Now everything works fine, I just run "install.sh". The weather is fine :)
I got the applet working on another machine, just have to retrace my steps and try on the first machine I was having problems with in my post above. Question: I was playing with the window and gtk themes, and now the weather applet's pop-up has tiny text. This brings to mind (not strictly for this applet, but for Mint 12 in general) that there are no "reset to default" toggles on any of the desktop theming. I have no idea where to start in restoring the weather applet pop-up to its default look (per the screenshot at the top of this page). I'll take this up on the Mint forums...
Hi, first, thanks for the nice applet :) I don't really like to install applets, especially in the home dir, should be just unpack to /usr/share/cinnamon/applets/ directory. So, that's what I did :) After installing, I just moved the stuff from my home directory. The applet works, but if trying to configure it I get "Execution of 'cinnamon-weather-settings' failed". I can execute it manually from the /usr/share/... directory, but it would be nicer if it worked from the applet UI :)
arunkumar413: Thanks for the suggestion. It's being considered upstream. https://github.com/simon04/gnome-shell-extension-weather/issues/31 i23098: You broke a symlink. See the install script for details.
Great, updated the link in /usr/local/bin and it worked :) Now, my only suggestion (that I don't know if it's possible to implement) is that the weather information pop-up should appear on mouse over (no need to click to open), and then it would close on mouse out.
Great app, but unfortunetly my city doesn't have a woeid which is weird because its second largest
Like Mitsushi in one of the posts above, I can't get this applet to work with Cinnamon on Fedora 16 (64bit)... worked just fine on Mint though. Anyone got any ideas?
Just curious - is there PPA for this one yet?
RE my comment above, I've now got this working in Fedora 16_x64. Had to run the "uninstall" script first and then the "cleanup" script. Thanks for a great applet! :)
Thanks for the applet. Typed in my zip and was good to go. Is it possible you could add a couple more days or at lease one? Or tell me how to add?
For those having the "msgfmt: not found" error while running the install script, it can be solved by installing the "gettext" package and then running the install script.
I'm having a problem with this applet. It appears to be installed alright, but in the tray the only thing that appears is a circular arrow with three dots beside it. When I click on it, a small empty balloon appears... That's it.... Can anyone help?
I have the same problem as Albertaman on a clean install of LM13. If I try to set location manually I get this error message "No such schema 'org.cinnamon.applets.weather@mockturtl'". mockturtl any ideas to solve this? Thanks
I downloaded this extension and it worked right away with the latest Cinnamon 1.4 in Ubuntu following the ./install script and even changed the Innsbruck to my home town Tromsø without problems.
installation a little bit confusing (getting "./install.sh: 37: ./install.sh: msgfmt: not found" messages) but it works fine. thanks :)
Albertaman I finally installed it properly. I had to compile schema manually and I missed the program "gettext". This is what I did: 1. Install gettext 1. Run Install.sh 2. Copy "org.cinnamon.applets.weather@mockturtl.gschema.xml" to "/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/" (You will need to open nautilus as root) 3. On a terminal: glib-compile-schemas --dry-run /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ && sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ 4. Restart cinnamon Now it works perfect.
esteban1uy: Thanks for the reminder. I've updated the README.
Hello. This great applet was ok, perfectly. But I'm now on a Mint 13, and no more applet... I tried to reinstall it, but no more.. What can I do ? Thx a lot...
same here. Not working on mint 13
I've verified the installation in Mint 13. Please provide details.
Really useful and nice looking applet! Thanks! It works like a charm on My Mint 13 Maya! Cheers!
Hi mockturtl, just a heads up, there is a forked version of the gnome shell extension which you may or may not get ideas from: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/alternative-gnome-shell-weather.html
Thanks bimsebasse. I have my eye on Neroth's fork; this whole SpiderMonkey / JSC, gjs/seed, common/require business looks like a right bleedin' mess, where I'm standing. If GNOME has committed one way or another, I'd sure like to know.
is there a way to have 24h time instead of am/pm for the sunrise/sunset thing?
With "Temperature Unit" set to "celsius", "Pressure" field always show 982.05 mb.
I've downloaded Weather 1.5.1 and installed it in Cinnamon 1.4 on Mint 13. I'm using an Acer Aspire One (Linux) with 8GB SSD and 1.5 GB RAM. I installed the applet to the ./local directory by running the install.sh from the Nautilus GUI, since my command line did not recognize the script as executalbe. When that worked poorly, I ran uninstall.sh and cleanup.sh from Nautilus, again because bash didn't recognize the scripts. When I did finally get weather@mockturtl in the applets directory and installed it from Cinnamon Settings I got a Redo icon and ... The Applets subset of Settings does not give me a configurator for the applet, and running the configurator inside weather@mockturtl gives me a quick blank square that immediately disappears. The weather exrtension worked fine in Mint 12/GNOME. I switched because I found the new GNOME too noisy. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
A couple of things that aren't on the README, but maybe should be: Move the org.cinnamon.applets.weather@mockturtl.gschema.xml file to /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/. Then, in terminal, run sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas Also, something on the README about setting the applet in the terminal may help, as trying to do it by clicking the upper right corner gets "Execution of Cinnamon-Weather-Settings failed Command not found". I would very much like to change this thing to fahrenheit.
Actually, I need to correct what I just typed. The version of the applet I downloaded was from before the README was updated. However, I still need guidance on adjusting settings. Thanks in advance.
For chrnoble and the guy looking to change off Innsbruck. Once you have compiled the schema, navigate back to weather@mockturtl (./local/share/cinnamon/applets) and click on the cinnamon weather settings icon. This opens the settings, and works fine, including fahrenheit. Thanks to everybody. I'm up and working fine.
@liam_668: Thank you very much.
Fantastic applet! May I suggest to show the actual weather conditions instead of "click to open" text when mouse is over weather icon
Nice, but may i suggest to update the WOEID source to other than edg3.co.uk, cause the database is outdated, although it clames that the codes are used by YahooWeather/weather.com etc. Even xoan.weather that u suggest as alternative can find the code that i wanna use, but yr applet doesn't accept it cause it's based on edg3.co.uk
and i have to confirm "Epileg"'s bug: With "Temperature Unit" set to "celsius", "Pressure" field always show 982.05 mb. cheers
Hi It didn't work on my system. I'm using Mint Maya. I've extracted the folder into .local/share/cinnamon/applet. When I restart Cinnamon, and I activate the applet, it shows only an arrow next to the date, like if the applet was updating. Clicking on it I only get a small gray box (2cmx1cm) and it is completely empty... Any suggestion please? Thanks!
I am having the same problem as gillis. Anyone have any ideas?
gillis, Kelley-Green: Several users have reported a problem in Mint 13. Please provide any details you can in this thread: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=218&t=107081 ---- Note, merely extracting the folder into `~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets` is not sufficient for this applet; you must run the `./install` script.
With "Temperature Unit" set to "celsius", "Pressure" field always show one of these two vaules: 982.05 mb. or 1015.92 mb. This is probably due to some wrong precision calculation on pressure conversion from in. to mb. Best regards,
@mockturtl Thanks. I ran ./install and it ran fine. I got confused because I didn't have to do this for the "Restart Cinnamon" applet.
I followed the instructions in the readme, I have all the required packages installed, but when I click on the settings button I get the following message: "Execution of command "cinnamon-weather-settings" failed. Command not..." and then it goes to the next line of the notification "Command not found". Also, the icons are dark (I'm using Faenza). I managed to change the location using terminal, but still, it would be nice if the whole thing worked out of the box.
Also, it would be good for the comments to have dates, so we can see what was posted when and to which version of the applet the comments relate to.
works, but changes the local language to English :( Now the menu cinnamon, and sound applet, networt, and calendar are is English and not in my language, Spanish. I think the problem is when you run the script cleanup.sh, the locale is not well. how do now to put cinnamon in Spanish again?
You must switch the proxy from 'AUTO' to 'OFF' to get it working...otherwise it will not show the weather...
This is probably really small on the to-do list, but I found adding another space before the comment or temperature (lines 431 and 433 in applet.js as of current release) helps the look on the panel a lot. Makes everything look even. Cheers.
Is there any chance of adding Cinnamon 1.5 compatibility? I love this applet and am finding it hard to live without it
Sorry, never mind, I just reinstalled it and it's working :)
Very nice! Thanks.
my stylesheet.css - http://pastebin.com/N9WyHtRe
The weather applet won't work. Installed it correctly. The applet doesn't show anything. As per readme, gettext is already the newest version and libglib2.0-bin is already the newest version. It worked well with Cinnamon 1.4, but now I have 1.6. What might be the problem?
Made all the icons on the right side of my panel GIGANTIC. Other than that it seem quite nice. How do I correct the size of the icons? I'm using Cinnamon 1.6 on Ubuntu 12.04.
Awesome applet! I was just wondering if you could make us choose other temperature units (principally Kelvin) and pressure units too (for example Pascal or atmospheres). Thanks much!
I have one more serious problem too: the panel opens only backside if I click on it, so if I put the applet in the low taskbar I can't actually open it.
I am still asking the question. What might be the problem. I have only a curved arrow and nothing else. I have the latest Cinnamon 1.6
@Chdslv - not sure this works under Cinnamon 1.6. I have the same version, and cannot get it to work either.
@hogfeathers I had the self same problem, but I do not think this is to do with the applet - it happens when you make any changes to the Panel itself. For example: 1. Panel Settings 2. Fiddle with "Use customised panel size" and "Allow cinnamon to..." 3. See what happens to the system tray on the right I think that this is a bug ?
Ok, so it does work on 1.6, but you need to ensure that the Proxy setting under Network Connections is set to NONE
Awesome! Thanks so much!
Thank you very much! Like i23098 i have too problem with "Execution of command "cinnamon-weather-settings" failed. Command not..." i can too execute it manually from folder, but is this a bug? can you help with code to change something mockturtl? I really love this appplet! Also I have a suggestion, a can you set two days later "after tomorrow" and after after tomorrow? I mean 4 days indicator? I would love to be a little more extended. Thank you again!
Thank you very muc for the 5 days forecast! pere's instruction work perfectly, now the only problem remain for me it is Execution of command "cinnamon-weather-settings" failed. Command not... i can manage manually execute cinnamon-weather-settings anyway, but from options of applet doesn't work.
Cannot configure it. I don't get the icon in the top-right corner of the popup menu. I'm using Cinnamon 1.6. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Ran -r to restart Cinnamon, I even Restarted the computer, but nothing changes.
Turkish .po file : http://db.tt/F8EJtS9o -copy this .po file in "po" folder -edit po/LINGUAS , add tr -run install.sh
@fmete, thanks for Turkish translation.
I had the same problems with Cinnamon 1.6: Circular arrow with three dots. I don't know why, but during installation the app information doesn't copy to dconf. The solution was simple enough. To fix: As root, copy "org.cinnamon.applets.weather@mockturtl.gschema.xml" to "/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas", then restart cinnamon. Thats it. After, fixing it there was one more problem. I can't change the settings from the app. They can be changed with no problem using dconf editor.
Using LinuxMint 14 AMD64 Cinnamon, after updating I located this applet from the 'add applets to the panel,' downloaded and extracted it, then ran the install.sh from a terminal. After restarting, I was able to add weather to the panel and entered my U.S. zipcode as a location. Everything worked, and continues to work after restarting my session to make certain. In my opinion, an applet like this is essential for a desktop, I'm glad it was easy to find and use, but it should be included by default, in the 'add applets to the panel' menu. 2012-11-24
Hello mockturtl! Congrats for the app. It really rocks,... except that it is based on a NONAME weather station. Would it be possible to implement AccuWeather.com as data provider? One of the biggest downsides of GNOME based application is their being bound to Weather.com and similar relicts. The closest weather station offered to me is 70km, so it isn't very useful while the KDE apps like Yawp gives you option to choose nearly any location on earth. I would like to see something out of this applet too if possible. Thank you!
Cool Loving it but would be helpful to know when it last refreshed? As an hour can make quite a difference. And plenty of room on 5-day for Moon Phase and rise & set times would be Awesome and 5-stars! Tho giving it 4-stars for great design & function. Well Done!
I also agree with Orb-miser, I have the impression that becomes update every 30 min or more, when in fact at least should do update every 10min. Could you tell us how long the interval of weather becomes update? Thanks again for amazing appplet!
After installing this applet and restarting cinnamon, cinnamon crashed (no window manager) and after logging out I was unable to log back in, even in safe mode... gnome-session[3463]: GLib-GIO-ERROR: No GSettings schemas are installed on the system aborting... This command did the trick : sudo apt-get install --reinstall libglib-2.0-0 But I had to log into windows to find out... what's the deal? Using Mint 14 and cinnamon 1.6.7
Excellent app. How exactly do I install it as I'm quite new with Mint?
Got it working great. The way I installed it was ... 1. download 2. extract it 3. double click the install.sh icon 4. Choose run in terminal (you might not see anything working ... it's fast) 5. Restart Cinnamon 6. Click on the gears icon 7. Click on WOEID at the top (initially set for Innsbruck) 8. On the web page simply enter the name of the nearest city 9. Copy the weather location code and post it into your weather settings ... Should be fine from there ...
Won't work for me - in the panel, I only see a round restart arrow and three dots, clicking on this produces an empty bubble. Running the gsettings command to enter the location ID produces and error: No such schema 'org.cinnamon.applets.weather@mockturtl'.
why cant these be installed through command line and if this can be what are the commands?
thanks for adding Turkish language
1.7.2. now works for me as well. Thank you!
works nice, but again had troubles installing it - using Linux Mint 14. After running install script and restarting cinnamon, the window manager crashed and I had to run again the following command: sudo apt-get install --reinstall libglib-2.0-0 after that, I was able to use the applet ok
Very good applet, well done! But if you want to upgrade it, you could put an update plug in, which shows the last time the applet was refreshed ( I have a very bad connection...) .
And I think that there is a need for any update option. Started the rain and next lightning storm in my city, while the applet only updated the information and icons after 20-30min . Also hope you'll fix "cinnamon-weather-settings" failed this appear after i click the little icons/button on the top right which is Settings but never ever happen to work. As i said, manage to get it working only if i go to file sys/usr/share/cinnamon/weather... thanks again! 5 day forecast is just amazing!
It would be wonderful if this could be updated for Linux Mint 14. It worked just fine when I installed it on a Mint 13 system but with Mint 14 it doesn't show up on the applet menu after installing and restarting cinnamon. Thanks for the great Applet!
Ç'est impossible de faire quoi que ce soit pour Québec.Ville de Montréal ou Québec pays Québec. Pouvez-vous offrir ceci aux utilisateurs très nombreux du Québec et en français s.v.p. Merci!
Thanks ! Works perfect with Fedora 18 (x86_64) , Version: 1.7.2 Featurerequest -> a selectable 12/24 hour timeformat would be nice. Now (in german) it's: Sonnenaufgang (Sunrise): 8:22 am (wrong) and Sonnenuntergang (Sunset): 4:45 pm (wrong) In Germany and many other countries it's: > Sonnenaufgang : 8:22 Uhr Sonnenuntergang 16:45 Uhr <
Hi! Thanks for the applets, very handy. Works fine for me after some turnarounds. The install.sh must be launch through a terminal with sudo. Except that detail the procedure you give is perfect. (on LM14 Cinnamon).
Hi and thanks for the very fine weather applet. Works fine for me. Is there any posibilities to change the languages etc. from English to Danish. Too I would like to suggest a change posibility for the sunrise and sunset time between 24 hours or AM/PM But easy to install :)
Very awesome indeed. Works like a charm on LM 14 Cinnamon. One tiny thing, but may be a stumbling block for newer folks (like me)... install.sh has to be run with sudo on the terminal. You might want to add that in the install instructions. Other than that, thanks for a wonderful applet! :D
There seems to be a lack of space in the panel with the text or just temp. Edited line 494 and 496 of applet.js to fix this. Changed line 494 from: this.set_applet_label(comment + ' ' + temperature + ' ' + this.unit_to_unicode()); to: this.set_applet_label(' ' + comment + ' ' + temperature + ' ' + this.unit_to_unicode()); Changed line 496 from: this.set_applet_label(temperature + ' ' + this.unit_to_unicode()); to: this.set_applet_label(' ' + temperature + ' ' + this.unit_to_unicode());
nice applet!starting to love cinnamon :) thank you for creating a wonderful applet. I would like to help people who can't find the weather id's just go to weather.com go to the search bar and enter your city.after u get the result just see the address bar in the end of the line u can see xx12345xq just copy and paste that. No need of copying :x part :) hope this helps some one
Ah, this is a "must have", at least for weather fans like me. Thanks a lot man! Works charms, Cinnamon 1.6
Great applet, thanks a lot!
I tried to install the applet and lost my complete desktop environment temporarily. I went to the downloaded folder cinnamon-weather-1.7.3 and ran ./install.sh. During the ensuing process, I was asked to type in my super-user password, which I unfortunately did. Nonetheless, I got an error message after that, telling me that a certain file could not be accessed (I can't recall that file's name now). At this point I became suspicious. So I waited until the install script stopped and then ran ./uninstall.sh to at least clean up (and give up on this applet for now). Then I restarted cinnamon ("Alt+F2" and entered 'r') to clean up to the end. => my panels and window menu items all disappeared and I was left with my desktop background image and my windows, which I could not handle anymore. I then restarted the system. After typing my credentials into the login prompt, I immediately received a message, which said something like "your gnome session lasted less than 10 seconds, something went really wrong". In the .xsession file, there was a message "gnome-session[] no gsettings schemas are installed ...". So I went to that folder in another TTY and saw that the last modified file was /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled and that it had only access for root, no read/write/execute access for anyone else. I changed that by 'sudo chmod go+r gschemas.compiled'. And that saved my day. But boy, I had been scared.
=> some rights are not managed correctly. Maybe no one ever uninstalled the applet so no one had this problem so far...
I am running Linux Mint 13 with Cinnamon without backports.
hi mintie, there is a much easier way, how to solve up this problem. I found the working way how to do it. 1. download this .zip-package and save it in a directory. Then go to this directory and do richt-click on that .zip-package. 2. select " extract here". 3. then open the extracted folder.
