error starting weewx

[frits.s...@gmail.com]

I've just upgraded to ubuntu 20.04 and installed weewx 4.1.1.

I can't get weewx to start properly and some would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Frits Schouten.

Hi,

It appears that you have an old version of the interceptor driver that has not been ported to python3. Suggest you re-install the interceptor driver from GitHub following the instructions in the interceptor repo readme.

Thanks for your reply Gary. 

It will be the first thing I'll try tomorrow morning. I'll report on the results. 

Cheers, 

Frits.
