If it does not, this will cause /etc/init.d/weewx to exit without warning. -tk On Tue, Sep 1, 2020 at 1:39 AM 'Season Ticket' via weewx-user < [email protected]> wrote: > thanks for your persistence with this. > I reinstalled because I expected that the code would need to be recompiled > with python3. > I can revert back to python2 by, a) changing the /etc/defaults/weewx to > reference python2 and then reinstall again using "sudo dpkg -i > python-weewx_4.1.1-1_all.deb" > I tried again this time with only changing the /etc/defaults/weewx file > and running weewxd. > > This time I got some errors due to the following: > user.alarm_multi.MyAlarm, > user.opsgenie.OpsGenieAlerts, user.opsgenie.OpsGenieHeartbeat > which I have removed and now weewxd works fine > > However when I start the daemon "sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start" I still get > nothing, no process is started and no logs.
