I'm using My-Weather-Indicator, but it is never accurate! The Wunderground option is disabled and I can't select it! How do I enable it? I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

here's what that menu looks like. Note the Wunderground.com box is disabled

And what does "Activate" mean?

You need an API key:

Wunderground: http://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/ World Weather Online: http://www.worldweatheronline.com/register.aspx

Then paste in your key and activate.

    I click the activate button, then nothing happened! – Find Me In The Woods Aug 05 '14 at 13:36
  • Presumably you registered with Wunderground, got an API key and pasted it into the indicator dialog BEFORE clicking activate? If so, then check for known bugs and if there are none, log one yourself at the same link. – Bernmeister Aug 05 '14 at 13:42
  • OH WAIT! LOL I put in the web address. Stupid me. THX – Find Me In The Woods Aug 05 '14 at 13:45

    Thank you! For those wondering, I requested a free "developer" license (I am a paying wunderground subscriber), and encountered no problem saying that I "my" app was called "My Weather Indictator", and used https://launchpad.net/my-weather-indicator as the app's website address. They gave me a key immediately and it worked. Thanks! – Lambart Oct 16 '14 at 18:29

"we [Wunderground] will no longer provide free weather API keys as part of our program. If you have been directed to download our Weather Underground free API key by a third party provider, please contact your vendor for resolution." https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/
