I installed the weather indicator default available from Ubuntu Precise’s repository, it’s simple and exellent.
Ubuntu has no weather indicator by default since the switch to Unity. The only indicator I found in the repos is "indicator-weather". This one only half works. Sometimes the temperature next to the icon is gone (maybe the Google Weather API is to blame for this as I had the same trouble with a KDE weather indicator) and not all weather situations have a monochrome icon.
I installed the weather indicator by using 'sudo apt-get install indicator-weather'; Then I started it and configured it. However at the last step of configuration, I pressed 'apply' and then nothing happened . Could anyone tell me how to fix it ?
For quite some time now the indicator-weather applet in Ubuntu has been unable to do a Forecast. When I do it I get: "Forecast information cannot be fetched. Connection cannot be established".
I noticed that indicator-weather was written in Python and I decided to see what all the fuss was about Python (I'm a huge Perl guy but never saw a good reason to learn Python).
This window pops up on startup, and my configuration is gone:

How can I fix this? I think the problem started when I began using a different IP, but it may be something else.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but didn't work.
The appication is launched on startup like this: /usr/share/my-weather-indicator/my-weather-indicator.py
Yeah it simply wont confirm everything at the end when I get it set up.
I am doing this on somone elses computer and he wants a weather app.
But the weather indicator doesnt work, at all.
I tried my-weather but it does nothing except report N/A
I'm currently a user of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS using the weather applet. I was wondering if the same applet will be available for Unity 12.04. Since Unity's existence with 11.04 & 11.10, you had to log into Gnome Classic to be able to add / use the applet. However I prefer Unity.

I've been using the weather indicator for a while now on 12.04 and for the past day or so it hasn't been able to update. It just shows the same weather icon (the sun) and the same temperature all day. Right now it's 2AM and it thinks it's sunny outside at 72 degrees when it's actually about 62 degrees outside right now.
