CumulusMX gets no connection to Wh1080

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

It could be that you don't have a full installation of Mono (as installed by package mono-complete). Or perhaps they have changed something in Mono 5 which means it is not compatible with the libraries which MX uses.

I made complete install. Maybe there are changes in the libraries of mono.

From where can I get the version 4.0.2.5 mentioned in that topic https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=14222?

I would try this.

Thx Martin

I'm running mono v 5.0.1.1 under Debian Jessie on BananaPi Pro. I am using GB locale so decimal points (not commas).

To download older version go to http://www.mono-project.com/download/ and check towards the bottom about older versions

Well it's not that easy. In the archieve there are only versions for Windows or MacOS, but none for Linux/Raspian. Has anyone tried the Mono v5.0.1.1 with success?

The instructions there for Linux don't work, then? You completely removed the current Mono before trying to install an older version?

Hi,
my problem is, that I am not really familiar with Linux. I just want to get Cumulus MX run on rasbian to save my PC. My somebody help with a step by step to install mono 4.0.2.5. The older howtos do not help as mono is now on newer Versions.

Please can someone help me out. The other solutions like Weewx or so don't work either. Cumulus Runs on Windows prefectly, so I want to on Raspian the same way. But there are to many traps.

Thanks for support!!

Here is how I install Mono:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install mono-complete
That is what I found when I searched how to install it when I got my rPi. It installs v3.2.8. I assumed it was installing the latest until I read this thread. At any rate - CmX runs flawlessly with it.

Yapp. This would be the 3.2.8. But this doesn't work for me, because of some language issues. So I want to try the 4.0.2.5. How to install this one? I assume I have to change something in the repository, right? And something with a key…?

Thx.

you need to manually force the install

what Linux Distro are you using?

You'll most likely need to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list and remove the release listed there and add the repo you require.

google is your friend.

Hi Richard,
I had the same problem! I found the solution as I followed https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.p ... 22#p110376.
But Attention at point 4: You have to check your Debian/Raspbian version!! The post of Jan assumes that you have weezy. If you have jessie add

Code: Select all

deb http://plugwash.raspbian.org/mono4 jessie-mono4 main
instead of

Code: Select all

deb http://plugwash.raspbian.org/mono4 wheezy-mono4 main
!!!![/color][/b]
Hi
I did the installation of Mono 4 on my old RaspberryPi B
Please stop CumulusMX first

1.)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

2) Check installed Verison.
sudo mono -V
Mono JIT compiler version 3.2.8 (Debian 3.2.8+dfsg-4+rpi1)

3) uninstall old Mono
sudo apt-get remove mono-complete
sudo apt-get autoremove

4) Edit source list
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list or sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
insert in a new line
deb http://plugwash.raspbian.org/mono4 wheezy-mono4 main [maddthebrain: For Debian/Raspbian wheezy]
deb http://plugwash.raspbian.org/mono4 jessie-mono4 main [maddthebrain: For Debian/Raspbian jessie]

5) Install new Version of Mono
sudo apt-get install mono-complete

6) Check if new Version was successfully installed
sudo mono -V
Mono JIT compiler version 4.0.2 (Debian 4.0.2.5+dfsg-2~rpi1)

I started CumulusMX -> sudo mono CumulusMX.exe -lang de-DE
At least no errors in the console and I was able to connect with Webbrowser on Port 8998.
Weatherstation is still plugged in my other System, but I assume everything is running as expected......at least no negative influence with new Mono at a first glance
Checked Records Page which contain old entries from last month, when I started with this Raspberry Pi and it is dispalying values Comma Seperated
