LinuxCNC crashes at startup

LinuxCNC crashes at startup was created by sajurcaju
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS which came with LinuxCNC. The LinuxCNC version is 2.5.0.
I can run the latency test just fine. I ran the Stepconf Wizard with no problems and created a stepconf file. My cnc router is still under construction, I am trying to run LinuxCNC in simulation.
When I run any of several ini files (such as gantry.ini) or the stepconf file I created, Axis opens and everything freezes. I can move the pointer around with the mouse, but cannot do anything else. Clicking on the X in the corner of the Axis window does nothing. Clicking on the Ubuntu bar across the top of the screen does nothing. My only option is to use the power switch to reboot.
If anyone can point me toward how to do this, it will be a big help.
Thanks,
Steve

Sounds like openGL, but without the logs or any other output only a guess.

Thanks very much.
apt-get reports that it cannot find libgl1-mesa-swx11. Using the Synaptic package manager, I searched for libgl1, mesa and swx11. All point me to three packages, which are already installed. No dice.

Hi
Ubuntu 10.04 is out of time, the package is in a PPA
launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev
These tell you about how to add them to your package manager
help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
askubuntu.com/questions/4983/what-are-pp...i-use-them/5139#5139
regards

The second help page, under What are ppa's and how do I use them? says:
Call up the Software Sources window, Other software, and enter the complete apt line in the box.
The text to past into this box is found on the launchpad page in the Adding This PPA to your System in bold letters.
The string "ppa" does not exist on the launchpad page.
Sorry, I'm still inexperienced at Linux and stuck.

I just took your word for it that it was not provided
Looks as though it is in the main lucid repo and lucid-updates
packages.ubuntu.com/lucid-updates/libgl1-mesa-swx11
Go into Synaptic > Settings > Repositories
Make sure you have lucid-updates enabled and Reload
It should appear

Whooeee, that did the trick. I don't have time to try it out right now, but the pull down menus are active in Axis, no longer frozen.
Thanks very much.
