6 AM, Tom   The sun is still sleeping.

Rob, great projects you've been working on! One day I will get there.

Guys, I will be right back in one or two days. I need to assist a client "two europe diameters" away from my place.

See you!

The message is something that i introduced, and it means that the parport_pc kernel driver has not found the card. However that doesn't mean that the LinuxCNC driver won't work.

It's not easy to know what to do in this scenario. There needs to be some indication that there is not _necessarily_ a parport at the give address (but, also, there might be...)

Rather than a pop-up error message, it seems this would better be just a message
in the log, so if you are trying to debug a parallel port issue, you get notified, but you don't
have a constant nuisance alarm when things are OK.

I wasn't aware any log even existed.

Don't rely on logs, they are too often ignored and forgotten.

Prompts are good, but annoying.

Maybe the prompt could have a checkbox for "suppress this warning forever"

Maybe stepconf should just have a little checkbox that says "notify user if port not detected".

A switch when loading the driver regarding the message, have the message on for debugging and another to just log the message ?

Honestly, as I said in my first post is it that hard to click on the message or just leave it popped up ?

It gets annoying after the umpteenth time.

It's just a nuisance.

Like mosquitoes (where I live there's no malaria).
