Thanks Vince I found in rtl-sdr. rules a rule corresponding to my SDR stick :
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="*0bda*", ATTRS{idProduct}=="*2838*", ENV{ID_SOFTWARE_RADIO}="1", MODE="0660", GROUP="*plugdev*" I added the weewx user to that group: "sudo usermod -aG plugdev weewx" I still can start weewx with the "sudo weewd" command as before but I can't run weewx in daemon mode. "sudo systemctl start weewx" gives still the same error : Feb 14 08:49:54 raspberrypi weewxd[5905]: INFO weewx.engine: Starting main packet loop.
