Description Jan Vlug 2021-05-28 07:36:12 UTC
Description of problem:
When I start GNOME weather, the window appears with a spinner and the text "Loading...", but the weather never gets loaded.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-weather.noarch 40.0-1.fc34

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start GNOME weather 

Actual results:
The weather is not loaded, the window states: "Loading..." and shows a spinner.

Expected results:
The weather information is loaded and displayed.
(when creating this bug report, I noticed that the root cause is that the location services were disabled. A hint or question to enable them would be useful. I now discovered this by looking into the system journal (see below).


Additional info:

After reading these messages, I checked GNOME Settings, and indeed the Location Services were disabled.
I enabled the Location Services, closed GNOME Weather, and restarted GNOME Weather again.
Now the weather for my location is loading.
