Mini wannabe datron build

ok, seems to be installed, but it errors if i try to open linuxcnc with the probe basic ui. it also does not provide me with that as an option in pncconf.

so this is the error starting up.

Means you are running as ROOT, not a user, so some stuff will not work properly, pretty sure LinuxCNC also does not run as root.
Get the new ISO, with GUI, while installing if it asks for a root password, do not enter anything, just move on, it will ask for a new user name and password.

you are about 12 posts late . we are well past that, now im trying to figure out why probe basic isnt starting.

The installation method has changed for QTPYVCP and Probe  BAsic. Refer to the relevant forum section here for how tos
