manual-toolchange-with-tool-length-switch sim fails mill upgraded to 2.9.2

rodw and aciera

Thx for your support

Did as instructed, though I was already on "deb linuxcnc.org/ bookworm base 2.9-uspace ". Same result. So I chose a fresh install from linuxcnc.org/downloads/ , using www.linuxcnc.org/iso/linuxcnc_2.9.2-amd64.hybrid.iso . Still same result.

[Got a problem with the editor, so this post is spread over several messages, sorry]

 

Attached my /etc/apt/sources.list
Was the same all the time and on all my linuxcnc pcs. Don't know, still the same
...sim/axis/remap/manual-toolchange-with-tool-length-switch$ head -n 3 manualtoolchange.ini
[EMC]
VERSION = 1.1
MACHINE = manualtoolchange.ini

...sim/axis/remap/manual-toolchange-with-tool-length-switch$ head -n 5 manualtoolchange.ui
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<interface>
<requires lib="gtk+" version="2.16"/>
<!-- interface-requires gladevcp 0.0 -->
<!-- interface-naming-policy project-wide -->

It's actually the very same as on github ( github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master.../manualtoolchange.ui )
So, no joy, and I ask myself:

where do you guys get your " manualtoolchange.ui" from?
Could it be it is a library issue? Permissions? But if, where?
If you guys have it up running out of the box, it must be something very obvious.

Thx a ton for your help

Hi all
Meanwhile I made 3 fresh installs:
debian 10 (buster), LCNC V 2.8.4: manual-toolchange WORKS
debian 12 (bookworm), LCNC V 2.9.1: manual-toolchange NOT working
debian 12 (bookworm), LCNC V 2.9.2: manual-toolchange NOT working

can't believe I am the only one having this problem

Tried to pin down version more accurately and got this:
LANG=C dpkg -l mc
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Architecture Description
+++-==============-============-============-============================================
ii mc 3:4.8.29-2 amd64 Midnight Commander - a powerful file manager

LANG=C dpkg -l linuxcnc
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Architecture Description

un linuxcnc <none> <none> (no description available)

So, for midnight commander I get a decent version number and apparently linuxcnc is not installed????

Now I am confused

'/sim/axis/remap/manual-toolchange-with-tool-length-switch' runs for me on a 2.9 build from February:
 

I just had some time to look into this again and a closer inspection of the 'lib/python/gladevcp' folder revealed that I had modified versions of 'hal_python.xml' and 'hal_widgets.py' files that seem to fix this error.
