Please don't blindly reinstall weewx thinking it can fix what looks like an
os or physical connectivity issue.....
Your original post saying "*Yesterday, I saw one of those routine update
messages on my desktop and elected to accept them*" got me thinking...
Can you describe your setup a bit more ?
- What kind of hardware are you on ? Something with a DB9 has to be
pretty ancient these days.
- Did you see a bunch of updates available and just say 'go ahead update
everything' ?
- Are you sure you're on 18.04 ? What does your /etc/os-release say ?
- Did you add anything else to your ubuntu before it stopped working ?
- Did you take a reboot after your (big?) update/upgrade ?
- Did you move the box or Vantage console ? Might something be loose ?
DB9 connectors are easy to get part-way connected.
Tom - wasn't there some package a long time ago in ubuntu that you found
affected whether serial ports worked ? Some package that blocked the
/dev(ice) from functioning ? It's been a long time but I seem to remember
there was some package that messed things up.
