Lathe Macros

Thanks for looking at that Andy.

Thanks Andy. How stable it 2.9? This machine is still in the project phase, and will be for a while still, so maybe it would be easiest to just upgrade to 2.9?

I re-installed Debian11 incase i screwed something up, but this time ran into dependency loops and gave up after a few hrs.

I have now followed @tommylight Linuxcnc 2.9 on mint 21 a nd i have it running (much easier for me to see whats happening) but i still get the issue of the "cycles" tab not doing anything when clicked, suggesting im the problem lol.
I have tried with a working machine and the simulation machine in the link here lathe macros.

Could someone confirm im doing this properly, even for the simulation version?
Download all the simulation .hal and .ini from here lathe macros.
Create a simulated machine using the lathe_macros.ini
Launch simulated machine and check for errors
Download and place all the .ngc/.ui.py/.svg into home/neil/linuxcnc/nc_files/ (Should i have a new folder in here?)
Run machine using lathe_macros.ini
Confrim Estop, power and home machine, jog/mdi to check it simulates.
Click on "cycles" tab - nothing happens here
click on MDI, hide keyboard - no macros show

Here is grab of what terminal is showing whilst i try to make it work.
Only things jumping out at me, suggesting my paths are incorrect? I have tried putting things in various places and creating new folders and defining them in the .ini but same results..

[GladeVCP.QTVCP.QT_ISTAT][WARNING]  Path not valid in INI File [DISPLAY] PROGRAM_PREFIX section (qt_istat.py:91)

Waiting for component 'gladevcp' to become ready.g-file-error-quark: Failed to open file “lathemacro.ui”: No such file or directory (4)
**** GLADE VCP ERROR:    With xml file: lathemacro.ui : 'gi.repository.Gtk' object has no attribute 'glade'

Thanks for any assistance.

Thanks very much for the reply, made a tiny bit of progress and managed to clear one of the path errors by creating a macros folder in the config for the test_lathe.

Still not getting anywhere and im suspecting it could be an issue with glade? i have 3.38 ive found 3.40.0 but cant figure out how to install it as its a .tar.xz that i think is just an archive? i followed the readme install examples "apt get install" just gets 3.38 again and the manual option fails due to
Couple of things i notice in the terminal dump, but dont really know what they mean.[/code][/code][/code]
