It seems to be a problem of rules change. In fact, I first upgraded from 4.10.2 to 5.0.0 and weewx worked perfectly. weewx was running as root:root. weewx 5.0.0 did not modify any permissions when it upgraded from 4.10.2. Then I went from 5.0.0 to 5.0.1 an weewx failed to start. weewx was running as weewx:weewx. weewx 5.0.1 converts from root:root permissions to weewx:weewx permissions, and runs the daemon as weewx. For Weewx,, I did a deb/rpm install and, as far I remember, I installed rtl-sdr following your Git (https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-sdr). I tried the command you proposed (sudo usermod -aG plugdev weewx) but that doesn't solve the problem. is there a udev rules file for sdr? (it is a separate step when you build rtl-sdr from source) if there is a udev rules file for sdr, how are the permissions set? did the usermod for weewx succeed? is weewx in the plugdev group? (grep weewx /etc/group) did you restart weewxd after putting weewx into the plugdev group? Regarding the rtl-sdr rules, I have a doubt. I installed the file in /etc/weewx/udev/rules.d. Maybe it is a wrong place... I read in another thread that it should be in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d... What about ? packages install to /usr/lib/udev/rules.d system administrators (or end-users acting as system administrators) put things in /etc/udev/rules.d that way you can override whatever a package installs, and your changes will not be overwritten by the package when you upgrade/update. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
