Could not find location id for...

I confirm that on new installd Ubuntu 14.04 LTS adding location DOES NOT work. On my desktop computer however location added some two years ago still working fine. I did not test if worked with new locations fearing of loosing the working one.

I have this with version 13.8.0 'Rainy 8' on 16.04 LTS "Xenial". The previously saved locations (from years ago) are not updating anymore, and adding new locations fails as described in the bug report.

@Krzysztof, did you mean a new install of 14.04 LTS or the current 16.04 LTS?

On Ubuntu 16.04, I found I could manually update the location data:

> dconf-editor
> apps/indicators/weather
> see "locations" and "places"

The JSON format for "locations" is complex enough to require looking up some IDs using Google, but from an existing location on another computer I did manage to get it working on my 16.04 desktop.

@stephanecharette would you be so kind as to paste in the JSON format for locations, as well as what should be put in the places array? With some sort of guidance I should be able to carry out the rest. It looks like the weather-indicator team is not in a hurry to get this fixed... :(

Having the same issue in Ubuntu 16.04. @stephanecharette could you post the json, so that I can add it manually?

I also have this issue. One user is working fine for ages.

Now trying to add indicator for 2nd user, but cannot add a location.
And without the location it will not save.
Added via dconf-editor the same data as on the other user, but still comes in "Set Up Weather..." mode when started.

13.8.0 'Rainy 8' on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS

https://bugs.launchpad.net/weather-indicator/+bug/1248290/comments/9
shows the json format.

By copying the current weather in the dconf-editor, I was able to bypass the "Set Up Weather..." mode when started. :-)
Thus now have both users display the same info!

geo.placefinder doesn't exist any more which means we have
to use geo.places which always return single places if match found.
That means weather indicator code needs to modified as well to reflect these changes.
