nonfunctional due to alternative wifi device name

[Cerv4ntez]

Hi,

i'm trying to get whereami working on ubuntu zesty, the current package version is 0.34

out of the box, there is no real functionality, whereami appears to take whatever argument i feed it as a location e.g. ~#whereami locations Moving from home to locations

Since i also get "eth0: Error while getting interface flags: no such device"

i think the problem might be that #1 since i have a loptop without a network port there is no eth0 and #2 since my wifi device is called wlp2s0 instead of wlan0 whereami does not know where to look for an environmen.

Some indication from the application that its not seeing any network would be nice, also some guidance on how to change the network device name correctly would be great

Thanks a lot for taking the time to create an issue for it. I was not sure if this would be a request eventually.

This was not complicated but still a little bit of work :)

kootenpv/access_points had to be upgraded.

So you need to do a proper upgrade with pip3.5 install -U --no-cache whereami (or your pip version).

pascal@MBP:~/egoroot/whereami $ access_points -v
access_points version: [0.4.56], Python 3.5.0
major version: 0  (breaking changes)
minor version: 4  (extra feature)
micro version: 56 (commit count)

pascal@MBP:~/egoroot/whereami $ whereami -v
whereami version: [0.4.68], Python 3.5.0
Major version: 0  (breaking changes)
Minor version: 4  (extra feature)

Could you let me know if it works for you?

whereami learn --location here --device wlp2s0

Your solution works, thank you. i did uninstall whereami with apt and install it with pip as you suggested though. The ubuntu supplied version stays defunct(which is not your problem of course).

 

i now see expected output, will look at configuring it in the coming days!
