Sorry, I didn't think it was a unusual setup. I used the installer apt in
Ubuntu 20,. "apt install weewx" I thought that was the standard way to
install?
I updated to Ubuntu 22 and then 24 today when I now get that error. It's
weewx version 5.2.0-1. I'm using a Ecowitt gateway, driver = user.gw1000.
It has been working fine for a while until the Ubuntu update.
It's Python 3.12.3.
Static IP for the server.
"weectl diag" gives me an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/weectl", line 5, in <module>
from weectl import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'weectl'
Thanks
