Migration von 2.8.4 auf 2.9.4 was created by nobby42
Hallo,

ich habe mich entschlossen meine Systeme mal auf neuen Stand zu bringen. Ich habe dazu LinuxCNC 2.9.4 parallel installiert und möchte nun die Konfiguration erstellen. Die alte Konfiguration von der Version 2.8.4 (mit gmoccapy und einigen Macros und WHB04B-4andrad ) funktioniert so natürlich nicht. Was kann ich von der alten Konfiguration weiter verwenden, was muss ich anpassen und was muss neu erstellt werden? 

Danke für eure Hilfe.

Norbert

Why not just continue using 2.8.4?

Old versions still work.

Don't change stuff unless you really need to.

If it works, don't mess with it.

(With software at least)

I absolutely agree.

I am still working with version 2.8.4. I wanted to test what version 2.9.4 can do better and installed it in parallel.

You can test everything, even run machines, without installing LinuxCNC, just boot from USB in Live mode and run the sim configurations included, or use another USB or the internal HDD if you want to actually run the machine, again without installing anything.

Before you change stuff, look at the changelog to see what features were added since 2.8.4.

Your software is only 2.5 years old.

Where I live, Ontario Canada, most stores are using Windows 95-XP for their POS computer.

Most stuff is running Java 7 or 8, or sometimes lower.

Everything is immensely outdated!

Running 2.8.4 instead of 2.9.4 is insignificant in comparison!

Um zurück zur Frage zu kommen würde ich wie schon erwähnt mal probeweise die neue Version auf eine zweite festplatte installieren und deine jetzige Konfiguration mal laden dann kann man auch gleich auf konkrete Fehlermeldungen eingehen.

Newer versions are not always better.

Newer Java versions are generally always superior and usually come with no real drawback.

However, not everything is like that.

I hate everything about Windows 11, I think it's ugly, unintuitive, annoying, and the GUI is a bad rip-off of GNOME and macOS.

Oftentimes, new versions bring good things and bad things.
The improvements, reduced familiarity, and regressions often almost cancel out.

For example, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is not immensely better than Ubuntu 22.04 LTS; upgrading is not worth it.
