installing real time kernal

You should not need to go to the debian folder. I know some of the docs are a bit confusing here. Some of it is to build a deb file you can then install into the menus and stuff but I never bothered.

If you used the stretch ISO you have a real time OS (PREEMPT_RT) so no need to do any more.

On this thread, I included a dump from the terminal of the commands required
forum.linuxcnc.org/plasma-laser/36410-co...any-hardware?start=0

plasma@plasma ~ $ git clone https://github.com//phillc54/linuxcnc-plasmac plasmac
plasma@plasma ~ $ cd plasmac/src
plasma@plasma ~/plasmac/src $ ./autogen.sh
plasma@plasma ~/plasmac/src $ ./configure --with-realtime=uspace
plasma@plasma ~ $ make
plasma@plasma ~/plasmac/src $ sudo make setuid
[sudo] password for plasma: 
plasma@plasma ~/plasmac/src $cd ..
plasma@plasma ~/plasmac $
plasma@plasma ~/plasmac $ . ./scripts/rip-environment
plasma@plasma ~/plasmac $ linuxcnc

Make sure you are in the linuxcnc-plasmac/src directroy as shown here.
make sure you use the ./configure parameter I show you.

I know its hard but you need to follow one prophet. Don't mix the commands I mention with those that others mentioned.
The other thing is I did suggest people build the master branch from source before tackling plasmac as it will give you the confidence that everything is working and it will be easier for people to help you with the standard build.

sir why reverse run isnt working even after pausing program rev and fws buttons do nothing
