ATC Project - Debug phase

Hmm, that looks like a bug in the GUI code, rather than a misconfig on your part.

Is the problem with qtvcp or qtpyvcp?

Issue is with qtvcp.

I have not tried to install qtpyvcp - that's the next step once we establish I didn't mess anything up thus far.  Didn't want to color too far outside the lines without adult supervision.

So, which GUI in particular are you using? Perhaps someone else using the Bookworm packages can try it out.

At this point, perhaps is it worth making a backup of the HDD?

(My next suggestion is going to involve grabbing and attempting to install the Buster packages. It would be good to have a route back to here)

My preference is Probe Basic.  That's what I've been working with since day 1, and while I've run other GUIs as sims I haven't connected my machine up using a different GUI.

Having said that, I would like to try the vertical/portrait version of qtvcp-Woodpecker that was posted here late last year.  My ultimate goal is to have a vertical GUI... and the PB developers have their hands full with the py2 to py3 thing.  The PB-Vertical version is likely a long time off.

I was actually asking which GUI crashed on you.

Also: I don't know which version of Carousel you will have got from the Bookworm repository but from the package name
2.9.0~pre0+git20220402.2500863908-4
I am guessing the 2nd of April build, which still has a buggy carousel.

It should be safe (ish) to grab this .deb package:
buildbot.linuxcnc.org/dists/buster/maste...g433a36711_amd64.deb
Which is the latest version, though built for Buster against a different kernel.
If it doesn't work then re-installing LinuxCNC from the Bookworm repository ought to be relatively easy.

to use the .deb..

sudo dpkg --install linuxcnc-uspace_2.9.0~pre0.6521.g433a36711_amd64.deb

And, basically, see what happens....

Sorry, misunderstood the question.  qtdragon_hd is what caued the fault in the report, but all qtvcp sims cause the same fault.

Have tried blender, qtdragon, qtaxis - all the same error.

gscreen errors out (ImportError: cannot import name Vte, introspection typelib not found)

pyvcp works, no errors.

glade works, no errors.

EDIT - downloaded the .deb and ran the dpkg you posted.  Error report:
