I should add, when I start weewx, I get:
[....] Starting weewx (via systemctl): weewx.service==== AUTHENTICATING FOR
org.
freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units ===
Authentication is required to start 'weewx.service'.
Multiple identities can be used for authentication:
1. ,,, (pi)
2. root
Choose identity to authenticate as (1-2): 1
Password:
==== AUTHENTICATION COMPLETE ===
Job for weewx.service failed because the control process exited with error
code.
See "systemctl status weewx.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
failed!
Does that helpo diagnose the problem. I never remember being asked for
identity before. I am not sure I know the root password (dumb, I know).
