My WeatherFlow Console Ubuntu x86 device updated to the latest version of Ubunut LTS. Weatherflow fails to start. In troubleshooting, I spun up 2 brand new VMs that are using the following versions.

VM1 - Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS Python 3.10-venv WeatherFlowPiConsole installs just fine.

VM2 - Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS Python 3.12-venv WeatherFlowPiConsole install script fails with error - Failed building wheel for kivy. It also gives an error, Unable to install Kivy Python library- Its trying to install Kivy-2.2.0.

Not sure if the kivy install script doesn't work with the version of Ubuntu and Python.

I can certainly roll back but wanted to make you aware that it breaks in 24.04.1 LTS.

Thanks for the report. I suspect there are no pre-compiled Kivy wheels for Python 3.12, and the installer is failing as it can't compile Kivy from source (missing dependencies). I suggest rolling back to 22.04 and waiting for the Kivy team to roll out updated wheels

Thanks, I ended up doing just that. Much appreciated.
