Indeed, there is still a reference in the 2.8 docs to halui.jog:

linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/pdf/LinuxCNC_Documentation.pdf



despite the fact that the halui.jog have been replaced in 2.8:

linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/getting-start...dating-linuxcnc.html




Could somebody fix that?

@Beagle

It's fine there
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/man/man1/halui.1.html

but it's wrong here

linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/pdf/LinuxCNC_Documentation.pdf

and here:

linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/gui/halui.html

also here (as I presume this is the doc meant for the current stable release):

linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gui/halui.html

Another I'd like to add, and this is a situation that has manifested itself a bit lately, is that we've had users having errors and contributing the errors to a part of Linuxcnc. Now if these user had of read the error file, which gives a very clear reason to what the error is, a lot of time could have been saved.
What has frustrated me more, to a point where I gave up offering help, is that some users wont even bother to look or start multiple threads. Even after they have had be shown how to find the error.

Ok rant over....and yes I understand the OP is new.

Ok now would it be easier if the Debug stanza was at the top of the error report ?

Well in this case the user did read the docs but the problem is that the docs are wrong. At least some of them.
Don't really know where to report that though.


And yes having the Debug section at the beginning would probably be easier for that matter.

I've left a message on the dev mailing list re debug info.

The issue I was raising was the error report not being read, or not recognising what the debug info was trying to relay.
