Hi Mike, I'm experiencing a similar issue after an update to 5.3 in Linux Mint. Did you check the web page that comes with Weewx? I looked at mine, and it is gathering data, so that's a way you can test to see if it's still working. My problem is that it's not publishing to Weatherunderground anymore. Is that what you are experiencing (not publishing)?
