GUI Discussion

Yes the module name change from emc to linuxccnc.
I don't know how recently 2.5 was merged to master but it should be there.
You may need to make clean;make
to clear out every thing.
and of course you must run linuxcnc from the terminal (I'm sure you know that)

older gscreen version runs fine
just this last one version

found one problem and gained another

segfault
(gscreen.py:10990): GtkGLExt-CRITICAL gtk_widget_get_gl_window: assertion 'GTK_WIDGET_REALIZED (widget) failed
Segmentation fault

i see some changes to Gladevcp recently so perhaps related

also
gscreen.py:11438 warning expected enumeration type GtkEntryIconPosition , but got GTKPosition instead
HAL: ERROR

I am developing it on 2.5,I will compile master and try it

I just pulled and compiled master it worked for me.

you can ignore the warning:

** (gscreen.py:29671): WARNING **: expected enumeration type GtkEntryIconPosition, but got GtkPositionType instead

do you switch between 2.5 and master from the same terminal ? I had to close the terminal and start again.

I realize i forgot to mention the new way of loading gscreen
add a line like this to your ini file;

HALCMD = loadusr python /home/chris/glade/gscreen/gscreen.py axis.ini axis.ini

changing the path and config names to match your config.

yes that was it Chris
loading from the ini file sorted it

Ok here is a patch file for master to add gscreen as it is now.
It supports lathes better now.

Still experimental!!

need to change the INI entry to:
[DISPLAY]
DISPLAY = gscreen

need a resolution of 1280 x 768 or better 1280 x 1024

Yes you are right - I will start a new thread.

Yes the last posting is a patch file to add gscreen to master as a stand alone GUI.
But it's still experimental.

Cncbasher is testing it on his setup.
