Machine from LinuxCNC 2.8.4 to LinuxCNC 2.9.8 not working anymore

Hello,
I try to use a machine, which was flawlessly working under LinuxCNC 2.8.4 (LinuxMint 19.3), in LinuxCNC 2.9.8 (LMDE6), but no success.
It is a basic Milling Machine (GMOCCAPY), with added support for VistaCNC-P4S and some python scripts and macros for tool touch off.

I tried the full featured ISO for Debian 13 Trixie with LinuxCNC 2.9.8, getting the exact same result (error).
I tried setting up a new machine using PNCconf, wich works fine. As soon as I add the necessary lines for either the VistaCNC-pendant OR the lines for the touch off, I am getting the attached error down below.
while starting the machine, I can hear the relais clicking, but the GUI never shows, the error prompts before.
I tried using the the new python scripts from the sim directory, but no success.

Can somebody sparky shine a light here? what exactly changed between LinuxCNC 2.8 and 2.9 to make those machines incompatible?

My Installation:
-LMDE6-ISO, checksum checked.
-sudo apt-get update / upgrade
-sudo apt install linuxcnc-uspace -> gave me 2.9.0 wich threw the same error and was not wanted.
-downloaded linuxcnc-uspace_2.9.8_amd64.deb from linxCNC.org
-sudo apt install mesaflash
-copying files for VistaCNC-P4S and "make install".

Any help appreciated! Many thanks!
Cheers.
Martin.

 

Your errors show that there are some missing file paths. There are probably defined in your ini file.
The most likely issue is you are using a new user name.

However, also Python V 2.7 used in 2.8 was deprecated. Later versions of Debian use Python 3
I thought there was also a python syntax error so you may need to convert your script to Python 3.
