Glade 3.20.will not work with LinuxCNC , please follow this for 3.8.6

THX Norbert for your patience

I followed your wiki by copy and pasting from the forum : just stopped when glade-3 did not work.
here your question of contend:

cnc@MeBigCNC3:~$ cd /usr/local/share/glade3/catalogs
cnc@MeBigCNC3:/usr/local/share/glade3/catalogs$ ls
bonobo.xml canvas.xml.in gnome.xml.in gtk+.xml
bonobo.xml.in glade-catalog.dtd gtkunixprint.xml gtk+.xml.in
canvas.xml gnome.xml gtkunixprint.xml.in
cnc@MeBigCNC3:/usr/local/share/glade3/catalogs$

cnc@MeBigCNC3:/usr/local/share/glade3/catalogs$ cd /usr/local/share/glade3/pixmaps
cnc@MeBigCNC3:/usr/local/share/glade3/pixmaps$ ls
atk.png devhelp.png drag-resize.png hicolor plus.png selector.png
cnc@MeBigCNC3:/usr/local/share/glade3/pixmaps$

glade-3 opens as 3.8.6 ( that did not happen when i followed your wiki. ) On terminal i see:

(glade-3:1317): GladeUI-WARNING **: Failed to open catalog directory '': Fehler beim Öffnen des Ordners »«: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

(glade-3:1317): GladeUI-WARNING **: Failed to open catalog directory '': Fehler beim Öffnen des Ordners »«: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

now I copied your next box:

cnc@MeBigCNC3:/usr/local/share/glade3/pixmaps$ cd linuxcnc-dev
bash: cd: linuxcnc-dev: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
cnc@MeBigCNC3:/usr/local/share/glade3/pixmaps$ sd src
bash: sd: Kommando nicht gefunden.
cnc@MeBigCNC3:/usr/local/share/glade3/pixmaps$ ./autogen.sh
bash: ./autogen.sh: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
cnc@MeBigCNC3:/usr/local/share/glade3/pixmaps$ ./configure --enable-simulator
bash: ./configure: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
cnc@MeBigCNC3:/usr/local/share/glade3/pixmaps$ make
make: *** Es wurden keine Ziele angegeben und keine „make“-Steuerdatei gefunden. Schluss.

I would conclude from these errors that my problem is that I do work as a normal user, not a developer ???


Mike

P.S.
I will be out tonight ( We have a Vollmondwanderung with my diving club )

Hallo Mike,

OK, that is now the proof, that you did not follow the WIKI to the end..

You are missing the hal_python.xml catalog and also the file hal_pythonplugin.py.

If you get an error like "directory not found" you should think about that error!
you entered cd linuxcnc-dev in the directory /usr/local/share/glade3/pixmaps, in there that directory should not be.

Please try in your home directory.
- Have you cloned linuxcnc-dev?
- Have you copied the catalogs from linuxcnc-dev to the directories I mentioned in the WIKI?

Never work as root, until you know what you are doing! Root is dangerous, denn "Root darf das!, auch alles kaputt machen"
If you try to execute a file but that file is not in the directory, or even the directory does not exist, like in your case, you will getr an error. If you are in Hamburg, you will not be able to visit a street in Frankfurt, without leaving Hamburg and going to Frankfurt first.

Hi Norbert.
First i installed via iso the newest stretch based 2.7 version
Then i setup things like my touch screen, etc...
Then i changed in synaptic to master 2.8
Got gmoccapy runing.
Then i got running 7i76e, later 7i73. Also with your help of your project files.
Constructed the hw to have my hw-panel so i have real signals connected.
Then i made the mistake to install (synaptic) glade 3.20 and the journey started.

Got hints from chris and you. Deinstalled(syn.) Glade3.20 controlled everything else is working.
Followed #99607 by copy paste. ( Never as root and i never start linuxcnc as linuxcnc-dev!
Stopped following your scrpt on the part where glade-3 command did not run !
I never goon when an instruction is showing an error, never know what i might spoil.
( I have the impression that your script is from that part on a installation of linuxcnc that is not yet on the disk)

In short:
I followed #99607 till 1. glade-3 command. Always as user cnc.

I always copy past your writing into my terminal, never adapt any letter!

My feeling i that i have remains from 3.20 and also some misspointed environment.

P.S.
Also i'm calling myself a linux nerd but i fully understand the right concept.
Saw in my long industrial history asm, rsx, vms, diverent unix, all dos, os2, and windows systems. Never as the deep involved programmer but as user or solution designer.
I can follow the concepts but i'm not the specialist.

Hallo Mike,

OK after your explanation, it seems like you have uninstalled also the linuxcnc catalogs, that can happen

But if you open a terminal and enter glade-3 it opens as glade 3.8.6, correct?

If so, we have to find the hal_catalogs and copy them to the right location.

please try in a terminal from home directory:Please post the output.

Norbert

Hi Norbert

yes 3.8.6

and:

cnc@MeBigCNC3:~$ find /usr -name "hal_python.xml"
/usr/share/glade3/catalogs/hal_python.xml
cnc@MeBigCNC3:~$

from synaptic
Here what I can see that is installed
thx

That all looks good.

please open glade-3 from a terminal, check if you can see the hal widgets. (two Icon groups left side most down, in my case they are named HAL Python and VCP Actions.

If they are there, all is working as it should.
If not, please do

That file should be in /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gladevcp
and I have it also in /usr/share/pyshared/gladevcp

report

Norbert

NO




find result is
cnc@MeBigCNC3:~$ find /usr -name "hal_bar.py"
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gladevcp/hal_bar.py
cnc@MeBigCNC3:~$

And I have none of you other two directories.
How could I get that content an would it be good enough to copy (from where) and with witch rights?
Could I find them in GIT ?
Mike

Imho hal_python.xml needs to be also in. /usr/local/share/glade3

Copy the catalogs folder and image folder to that location.

You may start mc as root for that, just type sudo mc
Backup the dirs first!
Norbert

W O W

What a big difference !

Now I have the additional widgets. And I can open your gmoccapy.glade
NO ERRORS and i can see contend !

THX for your patience Norbert

P.S.
Yes I had to copy the files as root to usr/local.....
