Getting error when trying to install

Developers WeatherFlow PiConsole

I got wrapped up in the update issue and tried fixing it myself by deleting wfpiconsole and doing a fresh install. The install failed with:

I am having the same issue trying to update.

3

Well… I managed to fix it, but not the way I wanted to. I installed it with “sudo”…but I’m kinda hoping to not have to do that. I’d rather it just run as my local user.

Any ideas?

4

@mabeatty1978 and @chrisn997, can you let me know which Raspberry Pi and OS combination you are using? You shouldn’t have to use sudo and I’m fairly confident the installer should work on all supported hardware/OS combinations

5

Pi 3 Model B, version 10 (buster).

I did install it before fine without problem, not sure what has happened since

6

If you managed to install it before, I would suggest starting with a fresh image of Raspberry Pi OS (Buster) on your SD card and trying the install again. Hopefully that’ll fix what ever issue is now preventing it from installing

7

@peter I’m using a 4B with Buster. I want to do a clean install of Bullseye but I’ve got other software that I’ll need to reload and it’ll take me a bit to remember what I’ve got and get it all reloaded. In the meantime, is there a way to fall back to the previous version, which was working fine?

8

Did you run wfpiconsole update and how far did it get? Have you tried just running wfpiconsole start? If the update didn’t finish, then you may still be on the old version

9

Yes, simply starting it does work .

It seems like the issue with the install is with cryptography, I’ve put a copy of the install log here. I don’t recall ever needing to compile that module previously and don’t have a Rust compiler install. If that’s the only way to get this to work I can certainly do that, but I wanted to check with you first.

10

@peter Two PI 3B+ and buster. Same failed install on both. Error messages advised to install "pip install --upgrade pip and too install Rust. Did both those things and the updage completed successfully. However when I do wfpiconsole start I get the following
pi@WeatherFlowPi:~ $ wfpiconsole start

Just for grins, try this if you have time.

Save your .local and wfpiconsole and .kivy and .cache trees aside for safekeeping, then try a full install again. Does it install and work ?

The reason I ask is that your python version of 3.7.3 looks old. A current one would be 3.9.2

12

Can you share the output of

cat /etc/os-release

and

cat /proc/device-tree/model

Thanks!

This is your issue: you are running the Buster version of Raspberry Pi OS on a Pi4. You need to upgrade to the Bullseye version and that will fix all the issues with the console

15

I’m having trouble updating to 23.3.1. I get an error (see screen shot).

Try “sudo apt install rustc” to install the Rust compiler

I ran into this in the past. pip wants to install the crypto library but it needs the rust compiler to do so.

17

Either do as Vince says, or preferably see the post right above yours:

Thanks for your input. I ended up taking out the SD card and flashing the new OS (Bullseye) and starting over.
The only thing I lost was the ability to make the screen go dark (or asleep) between midnight and 7AM. It was a Raspberry Pi command line code, but I don’t know what it was.

Thanks @Peter reflashed with latest OS and all good. On a positive note got more “when are you going to get this working again” from Wife than any other piece of technology in the house of which there is lots. A testament to the nice integration and usefulness of wfpiconsole.

Thanks @vinceskahan - did give this a try but in the end decided probably best to just reflash with latest version of pi os and reinstall which did resolve problem.
