Hello,
I am presently running 18.04, weewx 4.1.1, SQLite with extended schema, python3 on a VP2 station. Everything seems to be working and I am aware of the saying "If it ain't broke..."

I've attached a file with more information and a listing of my extensions. The skin is standard (see: http://grattans.org/wx).

My question is can I move to 20.04? I was planning to use the "sudo do-release-upgrade."
I've seen discussions earlier about some problems but assume that most have been taken care of for the new release as it's several months old now. I've upgraded another non-weewx machine this way and had no problems (so far ...).

Thanks in advance or any advice, warnings or comments on the upgrade.

Cheers,
Bob

I moved to Ubuntu 20.04 shortly after it was released. Looking through my notes, there were only two issues:
  • By default, no Python 2. It must be installed explicitly.
  • System logs permissions do not allow viewing by non-root users. This can be changed in /etc/rsyslog.conf
Otherwise, it went smoothly.
