Image Generator crash after update

[Liz Dodd]

On 1/1/24 I updated my Debian server to trixie, finishing the update
about 1620.
My last images on my Weewx web page are dated 1/1/24 1700.

I found a few errors in my logs, and looked for previous posts
concerning these but didn't find anything that fixed my errors.

Weewx v4.10.2
Debian Testing "Trixie" kernel 6.5.0-5-amd64
Davis weather station

Personalised skin in use - made from the standard skin 'some time' back

Error in Image Generator reported as follows in logs

I thought I would try reinstalling the package as I had not examined
the diffs for any of the conf files when updating the server.
This was unsuccessful

This leaves me with the error
AttributeError: type object 'ImageDraw' has no attribute 'textsize'

Can someone advise where I can specify 'textsize' ?

Always always always search the forums for your AttributeError message. 

Look at https://groups.google.com/g/weewx-user/c/XmKEPTN1L_g/m/GUWqcdaQCQAJ and see if that helps any.  You might also try using the v5 beta as well, although it is still seemingly not finalized.

Running old software on a bleeding edge os can sometimes come with adventures.  Geez I can barely find any references to debian trixie (deb13 to-be it seems).  No vagrant boxes.  No docker images.  Nothing easily findable.  You're way out on the bleeding edge....

I did find a debian:trixie docker image and gave the v5 beta a quick test.  The pip method seems to work.  The rc2 dpkg looks like it has some issues so I'd hold off on trying that.

Or do the v4 workaround in the thread I mentioned earlier.

Indeed, V5.0.0rc2 declines to start

My weewx is now running on weewx v5.0.0b17

Thanks for your time

Some extensions use "StrictVersion" from distutils to test the version number of weewx. It fails for anything with an "rc" in the version number. You didn't show enough of the log to see what extension did this, but if you comment out the version check, things will probably work.
