I thank you for that but I have searched the forums for my exact errors and everything that is listed has not worked.
I recently got openSUSE installed to try that but it won't install. mike@mint:~> sudo rpm --import https://weewx.com/keys.html [sudo] password for root: mike@mint:~> curl -s https://weewx.com/suse/weewx.repo | \ > sudo tee /etc/zypp/repos.d/weewx.repo [weewx] name=weewx baseurl=http://weewx.com/suse/weewx/suse$releasever_major enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 mike@mint:~> sudo zypper install weewx Error building the cache: [weewx|http://weewx.com/suse/weewx/suse20260308] Failed to retrieve new repository metadata. History: - [weewx|http://weewx.com/suse/weewx/suse20260308] Repository type can't be determined. Warning: Skipping repository 'weewx' because of the above error. Some of the repositories have not been refreshed because of an error. Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... 'weewx' not found in package names. Trying capabilities. No provider of 'weewx' found. Resolving package dependencies... Nothing to do. mike@mint:~> This is all I got. I'm not sure what could be wrong here. To the previous. I understand nothing much has changed on Weewx which I get but something isn't right. If its not Ubuntu distro then that makes sense but I'm pretty sure I never updated my distro previously until the SDD crash and it worked fine. If its a distro issue then some guidance would be great. Again searched the forums and not finding much that helps.
