PNCconf encountered an error

Hi All,

I tried to test my motors after a fresh install of linux cnc and recieved this message.

Does anyone know how to solve?



Thank you in advance!

What version of linuxcnc?

I bet 2.7.14 - there is a fix for this but it hasn't been released yet.

It's a one line change if you want to try to fix it yourself.

change (aprox line 1641 in /usr/bin/pncconf: to
See if that works. Not that many people use RTAI any more

I downloaded the "linuxcnc-stretch-uspace-i386-r13.iso" image which gave me version 2.7.14.

In the future I need to download 2.8 or master to run PlasmaC but am unable to for some reason. Have that discussio thread here forum.linuxcnc.org/39-pncconf/37798-mesa...-board-found?start=0

how do you know it is RTAI?

I was meant to download RTPREEMPT as I am using a mesa board.

An educated guess based on the error. That is what the line of code is doing - figuring out what kind of realtime system is being used.

In a terminal:
uname -r

should let you know what kernel you are using in general:
RTAI will have rtai in the name
Preemptive will have _rt in the name
most others will have generic in the name
