Works great for me on 11.04....but then I am on version 38 as, for some reason that I have not had time to figure out, the latest version that I downloaded has not taken....I am still on 38. Been too busy with other things to figure out what I have done wrong.

Did you exit Weather Display before you extracted the new version?

OK Brian no problem, just thought I'd try. This test took WD down for a short time so I got the 'Time period too short' message in the ws2500 cp but then no real time data was received. When I get a chance I'll try with a longer time period to see if anything is different.

How do I turn off the splash screen in WD. When we have a power failure (and we have them frequently) my pc (Ubuntu) is set to autoboot into WD....but the splash screen always stops it.....so if I am away, I miss out on recording data etc....

that will not be stopping WD
something else will be wrong on the boot up sequence

Sorry, maybe I was not making myself clear. I get a WD splash screen which asks for donation etc...and waits for input. When you press the input button, WD starts. I need to be able to bypass this manual intervention step.

Sure did....Brian should have the details.

I originally bought the Windows version.....am quite happy to pay again if needs be...or if the details cannot be found.

In that case I think you should be able to get a code, does the linux version have the reg code option under Help like Win?
