OMWeather widget doesn't display & Crashes hildon-desktop
 

Updated today, just like any other day, nothing unusual. OMWeather needed to update to 0.28.11 so I allowed it to update (didn't get a reboot warning message this time) and rebooted after updates were installed. Now, none of my widgets are showing up, I readded two of them and then tried to add OMWeather again. The widget never showed up, and when I went back to the other desktop (that I added the first two widgets too), and hildon-desktop was restarting and my widgets were gone again.

This seems to be an issue isolated only to the latest update of OMWeather as I've not had any issues with it until now.

I did reinstall OMWeather, and the widget worked until I tried to add a location for weather again, then I ran into the same issue.

What other widgets did you start before? Which iconset are you using in omweather?
I ask, because the version 0.28.11(build3) is running fine here. Did you try to get rid of the config files (better make a backup of them) and start fresh. But a quick search here did not let me find the config files :(

Re: OMWeather widget doesn't display & Crashes hildon-desktop
 

same happened to me yesterday.
omweather is the widget list but when you try to install it, hikdon desktop crashes.
thw widgets i need to reload manually are email, personal dataplan, personal ip, pedometer.

this happens occasionally with stuff from testing. i have just enabled the foreca widget for now, and will retry omweather at the next update.

Re: OMWeather widget doesn't display & Crashes hildon-desktop
 

Yeah. same here as well. I updated, then om widget didn't show up on my desktop. So I tried re-adding it to my desktop, but it won't, and it also removes only certain other widgets. I'm not entirely sure, but it seemed to remove the third party widgets like desktop command, qbw and fm transmitter widget to name a few, but it left media player widget and ovi taskbar widget. Strange. At the moment, I have om weather disabled which is a bit of a pain. All other versions have been ok.

Just "Battery" and "System Info Widget" are the other 2 I started. Never had problems with them previously.

Using the default iconset in OMWeather and the config files got removed with OMWeather as when I reinstalled it none of my configuration was there.

Re: OMWeather widget doesn't display & Crashes hildon-desktop
 

Same here. Already did an uninstall and reinstall of omweather and first it worked but then when I switched two cities from gismeteo.ru to weather.com it crashed again. Might be because one of them has a slash in its name in weather.com and hasn't in gismeteo.ru. But not for sure if that's the reason.

Also don't know where the config file is stored.

It might be related to some gtk stuff as there were several warnings in syslog yesterday. Maybe all crashed widgets use some kind of gtk and therefore also crash.

Re: OMWeather widget doesn't display & Crashes hildon-desktop
 

BTW: when run from commandline it first lists all configured cities and then two lines with several 'd's and then it quits with segmentation fault.

Re: OMWeather widget doesn't display & Crashes hildon-desktop
 

Damn, I found the config file ... it's gconf and therefore can't be easily changed on the fly.

Re: OMWeather widget doesn't display & Crashes hildon-desktop
 

Just managed to get it working again but still don't have a clue where the problem is.
I uninstalled and reinstalled it again. I could then open the applet (the widget was still gone) and could delete all cities. I also disabled animation and already uninstalled all icon packs. Then I entered the cities again using gismeteo.ru only. It took some restarts of the desktop but for now it works again.
I guess it's related either to the stations in weather.com or to the animation or the cities names are processed in another way now or something completely different.

Will upload a logfile with many errors to main thread soon. Maybe there is sthg usable in.

Re: OMWeather widget doesn't display & Crashes hildon-desktop
 

Reading this I de-installed the new version from testing and re-installed from the stable branch (without reboots). Nothing broke for me.

Can you re-install from Extras and have everything cured?

Re: OMWeather widget doesn't display & Crashes hildon-desktop
 

Hi All.

Anybody knows direct way for segmentation fault in the application?
I can't find an error. :(
The new version works stably in my device.

Re: OMWeather widget doesn't display & Crashes hildon-desktop
 

Probably it's language dependant? Might that be? I see widget and app mostly localized to german and some cities contain umlauts like "Lübeck" as well as some weather related strings ("überwiegend bewölkt"). Using gismeteo.ru I don't get as much information as I got when using weather.com but for now at least all strings seem to be localized while some strings from weather.com were not.

Vlad, would the logfile be useful to you? Whereas logfile is not correct word, it's the normal output of omweather when started from commandline. I guess you could get the same output on your device as it's not related to the crash and only contains errors and warnings regarding malformed XML and such stuff.

Re: OMWeather widget doesn't display & Crashes hildon-desktop
 

I just had this problem after I updated today, solved it by uninstalling anything related to omweather and installing again from extras. I can see the update again if I enable extras-devel but I'm ignoring it obviously.

Re: OMWeather widget doesn't display & Crashes hildon-desktop
 

I've found a source of the problem and released the bug-fix version - 0.28.12. Try it.

Re: OMWeather widget doesn't display & Crashes hildon-desktop
 

OK, after nearly one week of testing and trying and playing around I can say, the new version seems to be more stable than the one before. Currently I'm only using omweather, weather.com database and gismeteo.ru database. No additional icon packs and animation turned off.

But still I had the issue of complete crash of hildon desktop and loss of all widgets. This happened right after switching one city from gismeteo.ru to weather.com when app tried to fetch the data. The difference is that in previous version I had no chance to get the widgets back as long as omweather widget was defined on one desktop (I'm using actman for switching between and reloading desktop layout). Now I can reload current "activity" and get all widgets back including omweather. But I don't have a clue what exactly makes omweather crash the desktop.

Re: OMWeather widget doesn't display & Crashes hildon-desktop
 

Does the extras version also crash the desktop?

Re: OMWeather widget doesn't display & Crashes hildon-desktop
 

Don't think so. guess it's related to devel version only. But I'm not sure.
