Excellent. @dazza1223 what if you added some kind of a readme file to the boot partition or user home directory containing the info required to get it running on Pi1 and Pi zero?kermy666 wrote: ↑Fri 10 Mar 2023 12:40 am It takes a while but for those who have an older Pi Zero W you can use the prebuilt Raspian Lite/CumulusMx Image as long as you run the two following commands to recompile MonoI actually fixed things by runningCode: Select all

Re: Instructions: Installing CumulusMX on Raspberry Pi
From my understanding purge does the same thing as remove/autoremove. Just saves one command line.kermy666 wrote: ↑Fri 10 Mar 2023 12:40 amIt takes a while but for those who have an older Pi Zero W you can use the prebuilt Raspian Lite/CumulusMx Image as long as you run the two following commands to recompile MonoI actually fixed things by runningCode: Select all

Re: Instructions: Installing CumulusMX on Raspberry Pi
No - that's wrong
Apt remove - removes the app and other crap you installed with it (sometimes the whole desktop environment if you are not careful)
However if you then go back and install it again, your configs from the previous install are still there, so if you had an issue with something it might not be fixed
apt purge - purges the user configs etc as well, basically resetting it to a default install. (not including files created in user home folders)
Sorry - I'm not always a pedant, but I felt this needed corrected hehe.
autoremove - can then go back over something with orphaned dependencies that were not needed when the app was removed.

Re: Instructions: Installing CumulusMX on Raspberry Pi
CMX is running in RaspBerryPi 1 and it works fine, however I am finding the following messages (just realized now)

How could I know the reason of the problem?

Re: Instructions: Installing CumulusMX on Raspberry Pi
Is this your own image with CMX installed manually, or the downloadable CMX customised image?
If the former, I'd try the steps in this post first.

Re: Instructions: Installing CumulusMX on Raspberry Pi
Good morning, I have a problem with the pre-built Raspberry Pi Image: when the new installation of CumulusMX starts for the first time it creates "Data" and "Reports" folders and also the cumulus.ini file but the owner appears to be the "root" user who however does not exist. So when I have to overwrite the aforementioned folders with those containing my data, I can't do it because the cmx user doesn't have permissions. And I can't change permissions because I can't log in as root user. Can anyone help me? Thank you

Re: Instructions: Installing CumulusMX on Raspberry Pi
If you log in as cmx user then type
and supply your cmx user password, you become the root user.
Alternatively, prefix all your commands with sudo and they will be run as if the root user was running them. For example:
Code: Select all
sudo su

Re: Instructions: Installing CumulusMX on Raspberry Pi
We really need to get the images changed to run Cumulus under the cmx user though.

Hi Dazza
Bookworm 64 bit works well for me on a RPi v4 and has been running since November with no issues

Re: Instructions: Installing CumulusMX on Raspberry Pi
Great. Don't forget to change the service config too, so that MX gets run as the cmx user - otherwise you'll experience similar issues in the future.
Edit (as root) /etc/systemd/system/cumulusmx.service so that the user and group items are changed from root to cmx.

Re: Instructions: Installing CumulusMX on Raspberry Pi
It appears pretty straight forward installing cumulus on the Pi, but I am looking for for instructions on how to hook up my VP2 to the pi. Right now I have it hooked up to my PC with the Davis Weather Link logger. How do I get my VP2 to talk to the pi?
