Probe trigger while mdi does not trigger alarm

I have 2 machines running linuxcnc 2.9 (although different minor versions).
One will give a warning if the probe is triggered during an mdi command and then stop the motion.
The other does not do this, but does it only during jogging.

I have tried to copy the entire configuration folder between the machiens to ensure it's not any configuration differences, but this didn't fix the issue.
Do i need to change the version on the machine where it doesn't alert me, or is there another way to fix this?

what are the minor version differences?

The one where it works says LinuxCNC 2.9.0-pre0-1237-ge4b5d50f8.
The other where it doesnt work just says LinuxCNC 2.9.0-pre0.

Not sure how to get more information about minor versions

you can open a terminal and run linuxcnc_info which creates a file in /tmp with extra info. In there you can find the exact git commit hash your version was built with.

So open a terminal and type this:


which should give you the git commit info. It should also open the entire file in a text editor where you can find more info.

git commit: NA

Dont know how this is possible. But I'm assuming i have to do an update somehow.

I can't remember how I initially installed it, but i think I installed 2.8 and then later upgraded to 2.9, but can't remember how i upgraded either.

There doesn't seem to be any git clone on the PC, so I'm assuming I didn't install from sources.

The reason I haven't tried to update yet, is that I use the machine quite a bit, and can't really afford much down-time on it in case something goes wrong.
Do you know any upgrade guides when I cant remember how I installed?

Definately sounds like the referenced commit will fix this.
