QTDesigner PATH issue

LINUXCNC_HOME is not set. I thought that I saw in the "linuxcnc" script where it was set upon execution when starting?

This may be why I had so many problems in the past. I prefer to run RIP but, I may have accidentally/inadvertently installed the uspace version
and perhaps not knowing the difference. I recently removed the uspace version however not totally sure that is what caused DESIGNER to
fail.

Additionally, what's a mystery to me is the use of paths in the INI file. Should be using FULL paths or ABSOLUTE paths or other?.......

Here's what is set:
andy@file0x:~$ env
SHELL=/bin/bash
EMC2VERSION=2.10.0~pre0
GLADE_CATALOG_SEARCH_PATH=/home/andy/linuxcnc-dev/lib/python/gladevcp

DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus

Potential fallout to this issue??

 

That is the problem. I now notice my designer works because I too have an installed version of linuxcnc. I'll fix this soon.

I pushed a fix.
It was cause by RIP and Installed versions looking for a different environmental variable for the same info (LINUXCNC_HOME and EMC2_HOME)

This should fix the errors you see.

Thanks Chris! Designer now detects the linuxcnc plugins!
