What happens if you allow LinuxCNC to update the INI file?

all_sections.remove("EMC")

Interesting. Does your INI file have an [EMC] section?

(I wrote the update_Ini script, and it looks like you have found a bug in it)

Can you attach the current INI and also the oldest one in the "old" directory of the same config directory?

Here are my ini files

File Attachment:

File Name: current.ini
File Size:6 KB

this is may the same as current

File Attachment:

File Name: old_2020-01-11-2.ini
File Size:6 KB

this is where i upgraded from.I had moved the old folder v2.7 so that it would not be overwritten or deleted.

File Attachment:

File Name: 2.7.ini
File Size:4 KB

This EMC error started when adding probe/toolsensor to the INI .Before i could start linuxcnc without any message for update.

Backtracking a bit:
Machine configuration file is 'Fenja.ini'
INIFILE=/home/linuxcnc/linuxcnc/configs/Fenja/Fenja.ini
VERSION=
halfiles =
halpaths =
update script failed in an unexpected way.

Debug file information:
Can not find -sec EMC -var VERSION -num 1

How are you starting LinuxCNC? This looks a bit like you are starting LinuxCNC in such a way that it is looking at an INI file called "Fenja.ini" and that is not containing any of the expected sections.

If you pick your "current.ini" from the LinuxCNC config picker, do things work better?

Hi
sorry for confusion.
I changed the ini name so that you can see which version is current and which is older. but all are called fenja.ini in the current system

I guessed that the file names were changed. (That’s why I put the substitute file name in quotes).
But whatever file is being run, LinuxCNC is not finding a version or any Hal files.
So something odd seems to be going on.

Are you starting LinuxCNC from the config picker or some other way?

I start linuxcnc via a desktop shortcut that starts directly with fenja.ini

Can you try it the other way?
