Openweather extention not working

  • 772

From yesterday, openweather extention on the top panel does not show the weather. Its shows "Please wait Loading".

I tried to find the solution. There was a post of creating account on openweather website and use API id. I found that it is a subscription base plan. There was a free plan which allows 60 calls free for weather data.

I thought that the extention is open source. And may be I deleted any package that is required to work the extention so I reinstall the OS. But there is no difference of doing that. enter image description here

What could possibly go wrong any guidance?

gnome-shell-extension weather 20.04

  1. Best Answer

    Found a solution on GitLab from @StephGbzh that just worked for me using 20.04. It is most likely an expired CA certificate:

    1. check that you target the right expired certificate

      openssl x509 -issuer -enddate -noout -in /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/AddTrust_External_Root.crt

      which will produce the following:

      issuer=C = SE, O = AddTrust AB, OU = AddTrust External TTP Network, CN = AddTrust External CA Root
notAfter=May 30 10:48:38 2020 GMT

    2. backup 

      cp /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/AddTrust_External_Root.crt ~

    3. delete

      sudo rm /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/AddTrust_External_Root.crt

    4. update the system 

      sudo update-ca-certificates
    5. restart gnome shell: AltF2, r, Enter

  2. Another way to fix it without deleting .crt files, or disabling secure http.

    In terminal:

    Change directory.

    cd /etc

    Make a backup of this file.

    ls -al ca-certificates.conf*
sudo cp ca-certificates.conf ca-certificates.conf.BAK
ls -al ca-certificates.conf*

    Edit this file.

    sudo pico ca-certificates.conf
change "AddTrust_External_Root.crt" to "!AddTrust_External_Root.crt"

    Update certificates.

    sudo update-ca-certificates
restart gnome shell with ALT+F2, r, ENTER

  3. Check this https://gitlab.com/jenslody/gnome-shell-extension-openweather/-/issues/272

    But for me workaround doesn't work on 20.04 :(

    My own workaround in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/extension.js on 1116 after 

    _httpSession = new Soup.Session();

    add 

    _httpSession.ssl_strict = false;

    works fine for me.

  4. After so many days of struggling and couldn't find any working solution in the internet, I have done it in my way and it worked. I hope this will work for you too..

    Here's what I have done.

    sudo nautilus

    navigate to /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions on system side

    Use ALT and up arrow keys if needed

    Permanently delete following folder with shift delete

    [email protected]

    Refresh by doing ALT F2, r Enter

    Goto https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/750/openweather/ and install it again

    Refresh by doing ALT F2, r Enter
