rtapi_app: caught signal 11-dumping core

I'm sure there are better methods of logging errors, but I would open a terminal window and start linuxcnc from there. There will be error messages in the terminal window so you can get a better idea where this error is occurring

I guess this was a bad suggestion, you are using a parport? Mesact only works with Mesa interfaces.
Can you give us more information about your system?  I assume you had motion with the previous install?



You can also try mesact:
gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/mesact/install.html

I forget which board you have

In my particular instance, Not the OP's) I was using the machine on the same hardware for 18 months using v2.8.4 before upgrading to 2.9.2.

I use a parallel port, not Mesa card. Opening a terminal if it does logging like devtools or similar from webbrowser might help pinpoint the issue. But I've noticed that I can't even move the machine or test the axis even when going through the initial setup.
The pinout of the board is all correct, no changes to hardware but I can't even 'Test this axis' when setting up the machine.

I had some trouble installing it, it would hang up when looking for a network and at one point had errors when creating the partition. I tried a few times to install and had to bypass a few steps like the network config.

So I'm wondering if the image was corrupted somehow?
Perhaps the RT kernel isn't compatible and I should go back to a different one?

The installer is not without problems. But that actually goes back to Debian. The problems you had are not an indicator of a problem, I don't think, but you can run a checksum on your image.

If it's not moving in stepconf, you probably are getting an error before then as lcnc starts up.

There is a fairly recent RTAI kernel that will probably give you better latency. You need a different build of lcnc with that. Instructions on this page:
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/getting-started/g...#cha:Installing-RTAI

You should be able to boot into either kernel.

No errors upon start up. Only certainly none when going through stepconf.
Only after that when opening lcnc ui.
I was thinking of going to bookwork, that might help latency but I can't be sure that will help. Otherwise I'll just reinstall 2.8.4 again as that didn't have any issues.

I did read that rtapi is used for a simulated environment, so would it be related to the fact that I created a simulated machine program first? - because I did so this.
