Tim, Greg, clean install of ubuntu mate 20.04.1 LTS Desktop, including dev tools. ssh, no apache this installs by default python3: Python 3.8.5 (default, Jul 28 2020, 12:59:40) [GCC 9.3.0] on linux
all updates were run prior to attempt with weewx. then followed 1. wget -qO - http://weewx.com/keys.html | sudo apt-key add - 2. wget -qO - http://weewx.com/apt/weewx.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list 3. apt-get update 4. apt-get install weewx where step 4 had the reported failures. weewx : Depends: python-configobj (>= 4.5) but it is not installable Depends: python-serial (>= 2.3) but it is not installable looking at the installed python3 components, apt reports in part: python3-configobj/focal,focal,now 5.0.6-4 all [installed,automatic] BUT NO python3-serial !! So, why is the installer complaining about python-configobj when ver 5.0.6-4 clearly is >= 4.5 And why is python3-serial missing from the standard python (and apparently not installable) if it is required by weewx? I'm a C and unix guy and know nothing about python.... thanks rich On Sun, Oct 11, 2020 at 10:49 PM Tim Tuck <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Rich, > > Which Ubuntu 20 did you install on ? server or workstation ? > > I installed mine on server > > 1st thing.... > > sudo apt update > sudo apt upgrade -y > > then I checked that python was OK > > timt@metoffice:~$ python3 > Python 3.8.5 (default, Jul 28 2020, 12:59:40) > [GCC 9.3.0] on linux > Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. > >>> > timt@metoffice:~$ > > then > > wget -qO - http://weewx.com/keys.html | sudo apt-key add - > wget -qO - http://weewx.com/apt/weewx-python3.list | sudo tee > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list > sudo apt install apache2 > sudo apt-get install weewx > > and it was good to go from there. > > cheers > > Tim > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "weewx-user" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/weewx-user/5ebc1cc9-dd42-bf46-6509-8ecdc0652d9a%40skybase.net > . > -- Richard A.
