Where is the Glade HAL widgets installed with linuxcnc installed as a package

Where is the Glade HAL widgets installed with linuxcnc, when linuxcnc is installed as a package, not as a RIP?

I have Linux Mint 18.1 with 4.9 Preempt kernel installed. I have compiled the glade 3.8.5 tarball and installed the program, however I can not get glade to insert the catalog for Linuxcnc Widgets. I have found what appears as a catalog in user/lib and also in the glade3 folder. [Cant remember exactly where now, I'm at work]. I exported the glade catalog search path to these folders but still I can not get it to import. I checked the in use search path by "echo $glade"... search path... something another Cant remember now!

Can someone point me in the area I need to research? I have tried the wiki and other posts on here that deal with a rip install.

I basically am trying to find out what is the catalog exactly, what file name am I looking for? Is there an error log or configuration file.. ect...

I do not get any errors when launching glade via the terminal. I have had this working before on a previous build and know about the complaints on missing icons etc. when its working. I need to edit my custom glade files I have in my setup.

What is required for Glade 3.8.5 to import these files? As stated above I have pointed the search path to every folder I could find dealing with linuxcnc widgets.

I checked my ubuntu 10.04

in /usr/share/glade3/catalogs should be hal_python.xml
icons should be in usr/share/glade3/pixmaps

are these files present?

Chris,

Thanks! When I get home today and on the mill I will check. I assume the .xml is the catalog container?

If I am not mistaken I have previously pointed to the catalog/pixmaps folders from a RIP I have been testing and glade still did not import the catalog. I assumed the path would be wrong [if looking in my rip] when the glade tires to parse the catalog.

Ill check my /usr/share/glade3/ folders and copy them over if not already present.
At this point I would - kill - just for a simple error from a failed catalog import!

Thanks again, Ill report back when I have an answer for you.

Thanks Chris and JT!

I had glade 3.8.5 installed from source; I guess I did not use the prefex --user during the configure stage.

So to fix my issue I:


while in my 3.8.5 extracted tarball [where I installed it] Glade 3.8.5 cleanly uninstalled.

Afterwards I went to launchpad.net/ubuntu/utopic/i386/glade-gtk2/3.8.5-0ubuntu1

Downloaded the libgladeui-1-11 (>= 3.7.2) depends and installed glade-gtk2_3.8.5-0ubuntu1_i386.deb, after issuing the glade-gtk2 command my HAL widgets showed up.

Talking about something to beat your head on! UGH! I'm up 100% now thanks for your guys help. Letting me know you have the same files and folder in the same location as me - kept me from thinking it was a path issue and I focused on a program/installation issue.

Hi cncnoob1979,

Did you have any trouble also getting the VCP Actions to show up in Glade?

When I tried Mint 18.1 -32bit I noticed there were missing items with LinucCNC 2.7.8 vs when I used the LinuxCNC 2.7.4 package I created about 6 months ago with Mint 17.3.

Could this be purely related to the version of linuxCNC?

I switched back to Mint 17.3 -64bit and got the results in the attached screenshot.

The left image is with Linuxcnc 2.7.4, and the right is 2.7.8.

Just trying to be sure I've got this setup correctly before I set off to learn about Glade!

Thanks,

cb

something is not right there.
if you load glade from the terminal there may be an error message.
It will be hard to find as there are a lot of warnings about icons that are really just noise.

Hey! I get all the HAL and VCP Actions as you have shown in the 2.7.4 image.

Something's going on there as Chris M. Pointed out. Have you tried looking at the files to see if they are the same?

Perhaps check for permission issues?

You Could try to launch in a terminal with sudo to verify permission issues.

Before you check for errors make sure to set your terminal buffer to no limit. So you can scroll up, there will be a lot of icons error which are normal.

The buffer setting is under the title bar of the terminal window.
