Bug Description

Please update gnome-shell-extension-weather to the latest release - current Ubuntu package doesn't work without registration, see
https://github.com/jenslody/gnome-shell-extension-openweather/issues/84

Updated, correctly working gnome-shell-extension-weather package is available from official Baltix-Ubuntu derivative repository:
ppa:baltix-members/ppa (see https://launchpad.net/~baltix-members/+archive )

Latest gnome-shell-extension-weather package is also available at ppa:gnome-shell-extensions/ppa

Current Ubuntu gnome-shell-extension-weather packages (version 0~20151023.git34aa242 and older) are unable to set a location in the settings of openweather gnome shell extension without registration. When I push the plus sign below the list of locations, I'm asked to enter location or coordinates. But entering e.g. 'London' and pressing 'search' doesn't reveal any results. Instead, a spinning progress sign is displayed forever (or until I stop the search).

You need to get the provider api key (via a free subscribing)

Please note that the problem is not related to a weather provider. I'm unable to choose a location with both providers selected. Here's my api keys:

openweathermap.org: 45dd79d979c6f12edd751ab5e609d74f
