mesa 5i25 7i76

hi there i have been trying to get pnc to set up my cards

ive got xlms and the script out of the thread for pnc update the script has placed them in the correct folders and the permisions are also correct

but i keep getting this error just after clicking next

have you placed the 5i25 xml file in the correct place , although the 5i25 does not need the bit file , pncconf requires access to the xml

linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum/39-...es-for-pncconf#32198

What version of linuxcnc are you using?
You sre not using the most current based on the linenumber error.

It should be 2.5.2 I changed the sources in update manager and updated is this not enough does pnc not get updated that way ?

Sorry yes - it's the most current released version. I forgot I am looking at the version with extra bug fixes in it.

Can you should the link of the XML file you used.

Chris M

i used this one

www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum...nstall-utility#32197

can you check in /lib/firmware/hm2/

if there is a folder named 5i25? or is there just xml files?

they need to be in a folder named 5i25.

You will need to be super user.
open a terminal and enter sudo nautilus

Chris M

Yes the folders there and all the XMLs have root ownership and have permission to run

I'm sorry I just can't recreate the error.
I compiled 2.5.2, temporarily changed the name of my hm2 file so that I could run the firmware script.
Besides that it didn't make the 5i25 folder, I have no problems.

Does the 5i25 folder have proper permissions? and how did you get that folder, as the script didn't make it for me.
Are you using a run-in-place compiled version or an installed release version?

I can't fix it till I can recreate the error

didnt get chance to get to my machine today but had a play on the sim on my laptop and it updated automagically unlike the machine at work,

i had to manually edit the sources and update there must be some issue that way round, ill reinstall with the latest iso tomorrow if i get chance and all should be well

many thanks tho chaps
