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.

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.

While things like logging have changed, the guts of the

When you updated your copy of Ubuntu, did it change the
version of Python? There have been some problems with pyusb
and Python 12.

Oh I'm not even getting the HTML file.
Weewx won't make that file if it isn't collecting any
data. Since I'm currently getting absolutely nothing for
the data thus no file.
This is version 5.3 that I was installing. My last system
that worked was on the same Ubuntu OS but I was using
weewx 5.1.
Not sure if there is a problem with Weewx.
Currently I'm attempting to install an openSUSE system and
going to try installing that way. Hopefully it will work.

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)?

Hey all,
At one point weewx was working just fine for me. I
had an issue with the PC and had to update with a
fresh install of Ubuntu.
I have no idea what is wrong here but with the new
install and following the debian install tutorial
to the tee I'm getting USB errors on weewx.

This is the error I'm getting.
When I list my USB devices I do see the weather
station.

Oddly enough my weather station is not a 01036 it
is an 02064. Like stated this was working a day
ago until the PC problems.
When I put the USB devices as a tree this is what
I see.
lsusb -t

/: Bus 003.Port 001: Dev 001, Class=root_hub,
Driver=xhci_hcd/4p, 5000M
Also, the 02064 doesn't have the USB modes to
select. This automatically ports to USB 4 I think
per weewx hardware information. That will not be
something I can change.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
