Description of problem: See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1370889, since this bug was also present in Fedora. The URL to retrieve weather information from needs to be changed, as the previous one is no longer valid. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.28.0 How reproducible: Always, since 23rd August 2016
I believe this caused by the crappy forecasting service, we fixed that for el7 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1371550) already so it should be backported to el6 too.
It can be fixed simply with switching to aviationweather.gov http://askubuntu.com/questions/817083/my-weather-widget-is-not-working quote: At line 525, change "National Weather Service" to "AVIATION WEATHER CENTER" At line 553, change "http://weather.noaa.gov/mgetmetar.php" to "http://aviationweather.gov/metar/data" At line 554, change "cccc" to "ids" Edit the ./libgweather-2.28.0/libgweather/weather-metar.c I have rebuilt RPM and it works for me. Best regards
Thanks, Constantin, for a working patch. Pity that nobody has bothered to fix that for RH6. Few users would patch and rebuild the source RPM to get this working.
