Re: [weewx-user] Re: Error reading lock file /etc/weewx/.weewx.conf.swp: Not enough data read

Apparently an older version of nano would return that error at seemingly random times, possibly due to file corruption. If you were suffering extreme lag in the connection then perhaps it is related to that. Check your version of nano, or update it if you feel it's an older one. I really can't

Glenn, I can see no swap file despite vi insisting there is. No amount of ls -la will find one K On Saturday, 7 April 2018 12:48:18 UTC+10, Kimberly Olsen wrote: > > I've been attempting to get ftp working this morning and suddenly when > attempting to edit weewx.conf, I get the message below

I absolutely did end the nano session (i prefer nano) properly every time- so there must be another explanation. Yesterday I was editing from SSH and was experiencing extreme lag. I am betting the two things are related K On Saturday, 7 April 2018 12:48:18 UTC+10, Kimberly Olsen wrote: > >

[weewx-user] Re: Pond.py multi senor watt and temp

The simplest and probably most efficient way would be to make the script add the data to two files: 1) the accumulating file you have now and 2) a single line file which is the one which you read into pond.py or you could do something like (not tested): seek to end of file, go back one max line

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Error reading lock file /etc/weewx/.weewx.conf.swp: Not enough data read

When you edit a file with  vi, which is actually a link to vim, it creates a backup file in your case .weewx.conf.swp. because it has a dot in front of the name the best way to see it is by using ls -la When you save the file and exit vi the .filename.swpis removed, if however you kill the vi

try using sudo to do the copy if you are having permission problems. There is nothing odd or strange about weewx, weewx directories and permissions. On Saturday, 7 April 2018 14:36:30 UTC+3, Kimberly Olsen wrote: > I am very interested in a skin I saw at Carlingford weather >

I am very interested in a skin I saw at Carlingford weather https://carlingfordweather.sydney/ but I can't follow his instructions, nor those in the weewx docs. His instructions are Welcome to Sydney! To install a report skin in weewx, you just need to grab the skin and copy to the skins
