Add YOUR city to the Gnome weather app [Solved]
cross-posted from: !linux | lemmy.eco.br/post/1969330
I’ve been using Gnome for about 10 months and it always bothered me that my city (with more than a million inhabitants) was not found in the Weather program.
I looked for solutions several times and never found them, until I found this thread yesterday. That the user Julian made a script that solves this problem. you just have to run and enter the name of your city and then confirm.
scriptbash #!/bin/bash if [[ ! -z “$(which gnome-weather)” ]]; then system=1 fi if [[ ! -z “$(flatpak list | grep org.gnome.Weather)” ]]; then flatpak=1 fi if [[ ! $system == 1 && ! $flatpak == 1 ]]; then echo “GNOME Weather isn’t installed” exit fi if [[ ! -z “$*” ]]; then query=“$*” else read -p “Type the name of the location you want to add to GNOME Weather: " query fi query=”$(echo $query | sed ‘s/ /+/g’)" request=$(curl “https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=$query&format=json&limit=1” -s) if [[ $request == “[]” ]]; then echo “No locations found, consider removing some search terms” exit fi read -p “If this is not the location you wanted, consider adding search terms Are you sure you want to add $(echo $request | sed 's/.*“display_name”:”//’ | sed ‘s/".*//’)? [y/n] : " answer if [[ ! $answer == “y” ]]; then echo “Not adding location” exit else echo “Adding location” fi id=$(echo $request | sed ‘s/.*“place_id”://’ | sed ‘s/,.*//’) name=$(curl “https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=$id&format=json” -s | sed ‘s/.*“name”: "//’ | sed ‘s/".*//’) lat=$(echo $request | sed ‘s/.*“lat”:"//’ | sed ‘s/".*//’) lat=$(echo “$lat / (180 / 3.141592654)” | bc -l) lon=$(echo $request | sed ‘s/.*“lon”:"//’ | sed ‘s/".*//’) lon=$(echo “$lon / (180 / 3.141592654)” | bc -l) if [[ $system == 1 ]]; then locations=$(gsettings get org.gnome.Weather locations) fi if [[ $flatpak == 1 ]]; then locations=$(flatpak run --command=gsettings org.gnome.Weather get org.gnome.Weather locations) fi location=“<(uint32 2, <(‘$name’, ‘’, false, [($lat, $lon)], @a(dd) [])>)>” if [[ $system == 1 ]]; then if [[ ! $(gsettings get org.gnome.Weather locations) == “@av []” ]]; then gsettings set org.gnome.Weather locations “$(echo $locations | sed “s|>]|>, $location]|”)” else gsettings set org.gnome.Weather locations “[$location]” fi fi if [[ $flatpak == 1 ]]; then if [[ ! $(flatpak run --command=gsettings org.gnome.Weather get org.gnome.Weather locations) == “@av []” ]]; then flatpak run --command=gsettings org.gnome.Weather set org.gnome.Weather locations “$(echo $locations | sed “s|>]|>, $location]|”)” else flatpak run --command=gsettings org.gnome.Weather set org.gnome.Weather locations “[$location]” fi fi
It occurred to me that some people might not know how to run scripts, so here’s a brief tutorial:
How to run scripts in Linux1. Save the script to a text file and save with the .sh extension 2. Provide execute permission: chmod u+x script.sh3. run the script by double clicking or ./script.sh
