Axis GUI dies on start-up

I re-installed Debian stretch with linuxcnc 2.7.14 version onto an old x86 pc. On linuxcnc startup the axis GUI just flashed on the screen and then close with error messages:

Starting DISPLAY program: axis
Shutting down and cleaning up LinuxCNC...

The script dies at /usr/bin/linuxcnc: line 857: $EMCDISPLAY -ini "$INIFILE" $EMCDISPLAYARGS $EXTRA_ARGS

I have not has any problem before with this machine until the re-installing of 2.7.14

linuxcnc-2.7.14-wheezy .iso did the same thing for DISPLAY = axis, but DISPLAY =keystick and DISPLAY= tklinuxcnc are ok

Did I miss a step of updating libs or files for the axis GUI? Please help.

Does glxgears demo work?

glxgears works fine

I think the kernel log is in the attached file in my org post.

Thanks

I went into the rabbit hole.

The linuxcnc script dies at the command: axis -ini /home/lcnc/linuxcnc/configs/my-mill/my-mill.ini

so I ran: axis -ini /home/lcnc/linuxcnc/configs/my-mill/my-mill.ini in a terminal and this is what I got:

lcnc@debian:/$ axis -ini /home/lcnc/linuxcnc/configs/my-mill/my-mill.ini
Traceback (most recent call last):

I can not find the linuxcnc.py anywhere to trace the error down.

Thanks everyone,

My Axis problem is found.

For some reason Axis does not like the old Asus graphic card. I swapped it out with a Chinese made card and Axis works. I don't know why the old card is not compatible with Axis, maybe it just needs a different driver, which was not loaded from the Debian .iso

Anyway, thanks again.
