nope axis goes straight to debug report,. I think there are too many things tied to the gmoccapy screen design he did, i see alot of calls for it in the ini file. :/

Ok great at least linuxcnc isn't completely broken - that then indicates a configuration problem.

I see from you posted ini file that it has remap, MDI commands ,VCp and gladevcp etc commands.
Pncconf does not have remap options so this is modified by hand I assume.

my suggestion is to make a basic config with pncconf.
By basic I mean only use options that will setup the axes.

See if that works if so go back and add the other options you want that pnccond can help you with.
if that still works that start adding hand written option into the last working config - you can use your current broken config as a reference.
In this way you should be able to find out what the problem is.

ok i had to install some new hardware components due to a latency issue but that is now resolved... so i started tinkering and i tried loading all of the sims and started getting error messages for some of them the same as with the config from my buddy, missing ngc files. I am guessing these sims should not be missing files as they should be inside the installed software. so this leads me to believe again that the issue is a compatibility problem. in fact i tried to open the sim and was unable to until i replaced the player.py file you attached previously. once i did that gmoccapy opened in the sims. i have not yet even brought in any of the files from my previous installation to this new system yet. it is just a clean installation of the debian stretch preempt rt. I am not certain if I am supposed to install additional software maybe? or where to get it from? the updates are saying everything is up to date. so im flying a bit blind at the moment.

here is a snap shot of one of the sims and its missing files errors similar to error messages i was getting with my buddies config files, missing ngc files.

thoughts?

Chris

check in YOUR_HOME/linuxcnc/nc_files for a broken link.
(YOUR_HOME will be of course specific to your computer)

In theory that file gmoccapy references in the error code should be in that folder
or at least linked to that folder.

The player.py is a known problem and was expected.
