Public bug reported: The METAR weather feed for Dhaka has been VGZR. However this feed has not been reliably transmitting data recently. (see http://weather.gladstonefamily.net/site/VGZR). Therefore up to date weather data has not been showing in the desktop panel applet.
There is a more recent weather feed at VGHS which is at Dhaka Airport (see http://weather.gladstonefamily.net/site/VGHS) and uses the new name for the airport (i.e. Hazrat Shajahal Intl Airport not Zia Intl Airport). As a work-around I have updated the code used by the applet using gconf, but this update will be lost whenever the information is refreshed from /usr/share/libgweather/Locations.xml. I believe you should add an entry for VGHS in the Locations.xml file and make this the default for Dhaka. I am still using Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS with libgweather 2.30.0-0ubuntu1 but I have inspected the Locations file in revision 47 in the Oneiric branch and it also only has VGZR, not VGHS for Dhaka. I am also emailing the maintainer of the weather stations list at http://www.rap.ucar.edu/weather/surface/stations.txt to make the same point as this is impact many sites delivering weather information from METAR data. ** Affects: libgweather (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to libgweather in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/796245 Title: Weather Data for Dhaka, Bangladesh not updating regularly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgweather/+bug/796245/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
