mesa 5i25 7i76

right ive reinstalled ubuntu with the latest iso from this site and loaded via usb stick install

updated via update manager and it now runs lcnc version 2.5.2 all seams okay

pnc will still not work with that same error

updated with the script and had the same folders created for me and the files are there and have root permissions

the files are in lib/firmware/hm2/5i25

and usr/share/docs/hostmot2-firmware-5i25

not sure if its related ran pnc from terminal and got this

root@jnfabs-cnc-beam-punch:~# pncconf
/usr/bin/pncconf:4080: Warning: g_path_get_dirname: assertion `file_name != NULL' failed
self.xml = gtk.glade.xml_new_from_buffer(doc, len(doc), domain="linuxcnc")

many thanks john

Thanks normal warnings, though thanks for thinking of posting it.

You really have me stumped.

one more thing to try:
open a terminal enter 'sudo nautilus'
It'll ask for your password.

now using that sudo file browser find and open /usr/bin/pncconf
find the line:
_DEBUGSTRING = ["NONE"]
should be 21
change it to:
_DEBUGSTRING = ["all"]

close the file browser and gedit

now run pncconf from the terminal
you should get more text on the terminal when you switch to the page that you get an error from.
post that text somewhere like pastebin and add a link here.

or give up on pncconf and modify a sample config to get your machine running.
I hope you don't cause I want to know whats going on...

ive partialy made a pnc generted config on another machine but ill try and help you get to the bottom of this

i have just gotten the following

i also get this message on a window popup

tho i have seen this before as a python error possibly just something that springs to mind might be nothing

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pncconf", line 5279, in on_mesa_boardname_changed
if "7i43" in d[_BOARDNAME] :
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'd' referenced before assignment

it the 'd' referenced before assignment i think ive seen somewhere

Thanks you.

This seems to indicate that it found the hm2/5i25 folder, but it should have opened the prob_rfx2 last.
And it should have a lot more text after that as it parses the prob_rfx2 firmware.

ive changed the debug line and it still shows debug = none at the end of loading pncconf

i also tried ALL instead of all and also PRINT

but all with the same output to terminal would you rather have ssh access ? or teamviewer ?


and have a look your self whats going on if that would help

The output was consistent with 'all' setting.
It still seems to point to a problem with the XML file -but I don't know what.

While that would probably speed things up - I have never done either...
