LinuxCNC 2.6 live CD download

Hello,

I have problems with General mechatronics hal_gm driver on 2.7. They are aware of it, but they need to find the problem and fix it. In the mean time I want to test configuration on 2.6 live CD running from USB. But I can not find 2.6 iso download anymore. Anyone have some link?

It used to be here, there is still a file there, I didn't download it.

I have downloaded it and mounted the image.

From the packages list

Hello,

I downloaded the image. There is Linuxcnc 2.6, but on Debian Wheezy. I realized that the problem is not LinuxCNC version, but Linux version.
I try to install on Ubuntu Precise as described in linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/getting-start...etting-linuxcnc.html. All went fine until
sudo apt-get install linuxcnc command. This is what I get:

Any suggestion?

you are trying to cross install between wheesy & precise, which is it ?
if you download the current latest iso which is debian wheesy for a full install , not the hybrid.iso which is older

if your installing to an existing install on precise then change the repository to the precise build in synaptic manager
you will probably find as above shows other dependencys , this is rectified by selecting the correct build as being precise
in synaptic package manager , then use sudo apt-get install <package>

change your linuxcnc repro settings to 2.6 rather than 2.7 . and use buildbot installs should fix
