Cannot find WMR200 weather station

Code: Select all

sudo apt remove --purge --auto-remove mono-runtime
For 5.2.0.215:

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Add this line at bottom:

Code: Select all

deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian stretch/snapshots 5.2.0.215/main
Then run:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mono-complete
For 3.2.8:

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Delete all and paste in (this is sources.list from Jessie):

Code: Select all

deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie main contrib non-free rpi
# Uncomment line below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source'
#deb-src http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie main contrib non-free rpi
Then run:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mono-complete
Change sources.list back to Stretch:

Code: Select all

deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib non-free rpi
# Uncomment line below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source'
#deb-src http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib non-free rpi
Lastly you must "pin" the version so it isn't updated if you run update:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-mark hold "mono-complete"
I rebooted after this just for good measure. When I ran update, a couple things updated that made me think that Mono was updating, but it stayed at 3.2.8 and worked fine.
Hi Herbaldew

Thank you very much for your detailed reponse.

I only tried the 3.2.8. I first made sure that mono was not installed and then made sure that /etc/apt/sources.list was exactly like you have it. But apt-get update had a couple of errors regarding a conflicting distribution. And when I tried to install mono I got dependency errors. The mono errors are posted in x.log with this post. I forgot to post the errors from the apt-get update. If you need them I'll post tomorrow. I may have done something wrong. Please advise if you need more info.

I would try starting from scratch. It looks like something didn't get taken out from previous attempts.

do you have any entries in sources.list or similar file lists within that folder or subfolder in regards to mono-devel (= 4.0.5.1-0xamarin1)

There is a file in sources.listd.d called mono-xamarin.list which has deb http://download.monoproject.com/repo-debian wheezy/snapshots/4.0.5.main

The sources.list is the same as yours. That was from a previous attempt. I will delete it and try again.

Hi Herbaldew

I removed that mono-xamarin.list file and all is well. On restarting CumulusMX, my Wx station is found and is displaying the correct data in the gauges so all looks well. I am using mono 3.2.8. I will try the 5.2.x.x version and see if that works and will post results.
