Gnome Shell Weather Extension

displays the weather next to the clock in Gnome Shell. Unfortunately there’s no GUI to configure the extension so you must manually enter the YAHOO weather ID for your city in the extension.js file.

Install Gnome Shell Weather extension

Warning: Gnome Shell extensions may cause Gnome Shell to stop working. For instance, The GNOME Shell Weather extension works fine for me under Fedora 15, but crashes the latest GNOME Shell from GIT compiled yesterday. If Gnome Shell crashes because of an extension and you can’t log in, press CTRL + ALT + F1 (after the GDM login screen loads), navigate to the Gnome Shell extensions folder from the command line (“cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions”) and remove the extension that caused Gnome Shell to crash (rm -r “extension_folder”). Then press CTRL + ALT + F7 and log in. You have been warned!
To install Gnome Shell Weather extension, firstly install “git-core” (search for it in your package manager), then run the commands below:cd
git clone https://github.com/simon04/gnome-shell-extension-weather.git
mv gnome-shell-extension-weather/weather@venemo.net ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
rm -rf gnome-shell-extension-weather
Once installed, open Nautilus and navigate to ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/weather@venemo.net (.local is a hidden folder so press CTRL + H to see it), open the “extension.js” file and replace the following: “const YAHOO_ID = ‘AUXX0010′;” (it’s on line 48 for me) with the YAHOO weather ID for your city.
