errors running PnCConf from terminal was created by jj89074
I am a new user of LinuxCNC and have an old Anilam controlled mill I am retrofitting with a 5i25 & 7i77. I've tried running PncConf, but it fails to work correctly when testing any axis.
I've tried a fresh install, re-booting the computer, running PnCConf from a terminal and running halrun -U to stop hal before running PnCConf, but nothing seems to work.
I get the following error messages when I run PnCConf from a terminal:
mega@mega-cnc:~$ pncconf
/usr/bin/pncconf:3999: Warning: g_path_get_dirname: assertion `file_name != NULL' failed
self.xml = gtk.glade.xml_new_from_buffer(doc, len(doc), domain="linuxcnc")
/usr/bin/pncconf:3999: GtkWarning: gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file: assertion `filename != NULL' failed
self.xml = gtk.glade.xml_new_from_buffer(doc, len(doc), domain="linuxcnc")
/usr/bin/pncconf:3999: Warning: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
self.xml = gtk.glade.xml_new_from_buffer(doc, len(doc), domain="linuxcnc")
/home/mega/Desktop/custom_firmware/firmware.py
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

Unfortunately Chris is on vacation so may not be available to help with this.
Does pncconf start? (I think it always has some harmless errors reported)
Do you have the 5i25 XML files installed? (see the beginning of the pncconf forum section)

Yes, I installed the XML files pinned at the top of this forum and I can run PnCConf.
I can progress thru PnCConf past setting-up the 7i77, but I get errors when I try to test any axis motor.

The errors are in a pop-up window:
PNCconf encountered an error. The following information may be useful in troubleshooting:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pncconf", line 9334, in on_enableamp_toggled
self.update_axis_params()
File "/usr/bin/pncconf", line 9304, in update_axis_params
halrun.flush()
IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

I would first try the basic 7I77 hm2-servo config files to verify that the hardware is working properly
There may also be a newer pncconf version on the buildbot in case this is a pncconf bug

this looks like a pncconf bug , are you using the live cd ? , changes have been made , i'd suggest as PCW says use buildbot version

OK, I've got the latest version from buildbot and I was able to get the mill up and running. I still get the error messages when running PnCConf from the terminal, but it works OK anyway.
I've re-run PnCConf quite a few times now (each time I add a new item: axis enable, E-Stop, Spindle control, etc.) and it updates things correctly. I know I can manually edit my files to do this, but I am new to Linux and LinuxCNC and the learning curve is a little steep. PnCConf has really helped in this regard and I think it will make life a lot easier for new people to adopt LinuxCNC.
I've been using Mach3 for five years and I already like LinuxCNC better.
Thanks for the help!

Jim,
Welcome to LinuxCNC!
IIRC they are just warnings you can ignore.
