trying to update CNC software, moved config , but error was created by tater1337
so I followed this guide by tommylight
So, from the start as a general guide:-boot the PC, use a USB stick or two just to be on the safe side to copy stuff into, preferably use USB stick that do not get used often as they might fail,-On each PC, open file explorer, navigate to /home/user_name/ , there is a folder named linuxcnc (emc2 on the Ubuntu 10.04 one), right click on that folder and choose "compress"-copy the compressed file to the USB, but do create a separate folder for each machine.-if affordable or possible, find/get a HDD, download the official ISO file from the link below, install into that HDD. Linux can be installed on any PC, so use another PC or remove the existing HDD from one of the machine PC's and label it, then insert the "new" hdd and install.linuxcnc.org/downloads/-boot the newly installed PC, use the USB with the saved configs to copy them to the "new" HDD, uncompress them each on its own folder.-copy contents (linuxcnc or emc2 folder) of the machine the PC is attached to from the extracted folder to /home/user_name/-open linuxcnc, configs, folder with the machine name, there are several files, one of them ends with .INI, right click on that file, choose "open with" and in the text entry near the bottom enter linuxcnc, open-a warning should come up about converting the files to new post 2.8 version, click ok-even if it fails with a crash report, close the report and repeat the same again by right clicking on the .ini file
but when I try to run linuxCNC it stops and gives an error, I click the button to save, then copied all the files that were in that path (attached)

"probe_parport: dlopen: /usr/lib/linuxcnc/modules/probe_parport.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
As I recall you need to delete the "loadrt probe_parport" statement in your hal file
since it was dropped in LinuxCNC 2.7+
