It doesn’t say what version it is in the filename and when I select properties if the WeatherD file in Ubuntu, it just says it is an executable type file.
Thank you for the clarity, as I thought WeatherDisplay was asking about the WeartherD file I downloaded, my mistake doh!
I am running x64 mint, but I don’t know what the version of the said WeatherD file is.
not sure how you thought a linux distro was a version of WD?
anyway , the current version of WeatherD file for linux is compatible with a 32 bit linux distro only
yes, 32 bit Linux OS it should work
(there is no real advantage in using 64 bit for running software like WD, only need 64 bit for if you are using large video files, I would have thought?)
Yes, it certainly loads up the WD program in Ubuntu 32bit. Pity it doesn’t in the x64 bit version, as I have put it on my old laptop with 8Gb of ram. My desktop has 16Gb of ram and only the windows version works.
Thanks again
Addendum:
I installed the WeatherD program in my Ubuntu 16.04 x64 bit system, and after extracting the files into the wdisplay folder, I ran:
sudo ./GoWeather.sh
./GoWeather.sh line 14: ./WeatherD: No such file or directory.
I was wondering what was it looking for to return the error.
I didn’t expect it to work, but wanted to try for my own self.
The 32 bit program can run on Ubuntu 64 bit and this should work in Linux Mint or Elementary OS as well. You just need to install some 32 bit libraries to make it work.
./WeatherD: error while loading shared libraries: libusb-0.1so.4: cannot openshared object file: No such file or directory.
Is caused because it is looking for the file in /lib/i386-linux-gnu which can be installed by
sudo apt-get install libusb-0.1-4:i386
I also had to install another package with
sudo apt install libgtk2.0-0:i386
Because of this error: ./WeatherD: error while loading shared libraries: libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The last error you had was ./GoWeather.sh line 14: ./WeatherD: No such file or directory. That is either because the WeatherD is no longer present or doesn’t have the executable bit set
I did find it to be a mistake to use sudo ./GoWeather.sh as it messes a lot of permissions up so I deleted the original folder and extracted a new one
