updating to lcnc 2.8-dev was created by sir_wolf_art
So I have been rebuilding my linuxcnc with ubuntu budgie 18.04.2 LTS with kernel 4.18.16-rt9 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT.
It has not been easy doing this rebuilding, getting the OS with the kernel build seemed easy (if it really worked and is doing what is supposed to) but the install of linuxcnc has not been as easy. I have run into some issues with updating my .hal and .ini files and getting them to run on Lcnc 2.8-dev.
I have Lcnc built but not installed yet, I am just running it out of the scripts folder for now. Once I have everything running as it should with the hardware I hope to use. I want to move forward with the install.
Right now I have rebuilt my config files for 2.8 in hopes of making it easier to edit them down the road for newer hardware like Mesa boards or if I build other CNC machines.
However, the issue I have run into is this werd error that Lcnc is spitting out.
./axises.hal:13: Pin 'axis.0.motor-pos-cmd' does not exist
I can’t really find anything on the error and I know it worked in 2.7. Looking in the the “Updating LinuxCNC” doc for 2.8, I cant find if there was a changes to the hal wording. All of the changes in the .ini that where listed have been make.
I have included all the files with log of the term output.

Normally if you have been running 2.7, the first time you run 2.8, a script detects that you have a 2.7
configuration and fixes various hal and ini names and settings like the change from
"axis.N.motor.xxxx" to "joint.N.motor.xxxx"

Did this script not run on your 2.7 configuration?

No it did not run. It ran on the old config files but it did not work not sure why, maybe because the old ones where a mess. So thats is why i rebuild the the config, using what the script changed and what was in the “Updating LinuxCNC” doc for 2.8. the script did not run this time after the making the new config. Is there a way to force the script to run on the new files?
I can post the old files that the script did run but there have the same issue but with “axis.5”.

Why don't you just run up stepconf again and make a basic working config? Then cut and paste your settings from ini to the new format and add any personalised stuff in your hal file?

You can force the update script to run by changing the config version in the INI file.

For current master the INI version is 1.1 so will look like this:
[EMC]
VERSION = 1.1

Try removing the version option or changing it to a lower number.

Cheers!
Kurt

If you run Linuxcnc from the command line what is printed on the terminal window? There's usually an error there that pinpoints the fault. (Says he who just spent afew hours going around the twist trying to resolve similar errors on an new build!

right now the now way to run lcnc is the terminal I have NOT installed lcnc JUST built it so all the errors are what has been print in the terminal.
i have not installed lcnc yet because i dont think my kernel is working right because mouse well stop random for a sec, plus i get this note each time i run something that is part of lcnc, but one issue at a time.
