I have just downloaded the latest version of WD and during the setup, in the language section, I click English. then update (then restard WD), which I do.
On restarting WD, the language is still in some other European language, maybe Dannish??
What else is there to do to get the English language to stick.
It doesn’t matter now, as this version from 20th August, also locked up after a few hours.
As it was the latest version, I thought it would do no harm to try it, and apart from the language setting, I had high hope at first of it been stable.
I am using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with the latest updates.
I probably do not have the radio buttons hooked up in code
I can fix that
did you look into seeing if you can update the driver?
others are using WD linux OK without these lock ups?
I know this is not the place to discuss drivers, but as much as I know and tried, I cannot insmod cp210x.ko, as I keep getting an error saying could not insert module cp210x.ko file exists.
I downloaded the 2nd September version and I’m afraid that the language will not change to English. Part of the menu is in English but other parts are not.
From left to right on the top menu:
Exir Einstellungen Control Panel Action View Panel Register Wetterbeobachtung About Screen Size Quick Graph Selection
I did restart WD after I clicked on English, several times in fact.
I am almost sure I manged to get the linux version of cp210x.ko file in stalled or whatever it was supposed to do, I found a ubuntu link on this subject and someone on that forum, said to do this:
sudo modprobe usbserial # load this kernel module
sudo modprobe cp210x # load this kernel module
Which I did without error, and after loding up WD it ran fine for about 2-2.5 hours, then locked up yet again.
If it is ok with you I want post a question in this Lunux forum to ask what other use etc
you could also try changing the language selection in the WDISPLAY.INI manually (when WD is not running)
re the lock ups
you might have to use consolewd instead?
Using the modified driver didn’t make a lot of difference, and it is a pity that there is not log file to detect what is happening behind the scenes.It would be very useful for me to see why it locks up.
