I'm trying to do the same thing. But the program does not start automatically. Could the problem be that I have an automatic login?
I have the latest version of linuxcnc installed.
From the debian image ?
I have used auto start for a long time and it needs autologin first.
So you alrteady have autologin and after boot have the desktop open with some user.
Depending on your desktop (I think debian default is xfce) linuxcnc have to be added to the startup programs.
In case of xfce:
