Thread: possible nweather issue

I looked at the file and there is a current dump with the corect time stamp, location, and forecast data. It would appear then the data is not being dropped into the weather screen. Anything I can check or do at my end? I hate always being a taker!!!

your research is very helpful. Make sure that nweather.py is running (and nghost doesn't complain about it).

Sorry to do this, but how do I do this?

Code:

ps -A | grep nweather

ps -A | grep nweather returned the following:
"2928 tty1 00:00:00 nweather.py"

NWeather screen is now partially filled with data. I have attached a screenshot.

I'm tempted to rewrite nweather as a real plugin. I don't know enough python to debug this one (I'm not the author :P). I'll try to ping n2o_2k about it when he gets in the irc channel again.

It returned the following on mine...


3852 tty1 00:00:00 nweather.py <defunct>


Obviously mine isn't running at all. Govee...Could you help me to get where you are now for the time being, and I will continue to monitor this post until you guys or someone else posts a solution?

Thanks in advance!!!

locs4days,
If you have not updated LinuxICE recently I would do so. I think KEV pushed a fix for the nweather.py file that should allow you to update the weather.conf file located in /etc/nghost/. Replace the exsiting zip code with yours. Then run nghost in terminal to get the zip code updated in nweather.py. If it still is not updated when you go to the weather screen then you may have to open nweather.py with root permissions in mousepad and manually add the zip code near the top of the file. After nghost is run check to see if there is a file named weather.xml in location /tmp? If so what are the contents of the file?

The update may still be in the unstable repo. I plan on doing a push to stable on monday if everything goes well (and nobody complains). If this is the case, change "stable" to "unstable" in /etc/apt/sources.list on the line that has the linuxice.openice.org link and update. I normally do a little testing before i put packages in unstable, so it's fairly safe to run on a production machine or VM.
