Problems after installing 2.1.5 (from 2.4.3)

Hello all,

Wanting to jump into Glade/Pyvcp etc. and not finding everything in the 2.4 release I was running, I decided to upgrade to 2.5.1 using these instructions. All went fine.

However, startup give me the following:

Starting LinuxCNC...
custom_postgui.hal:22: Pin 'input.0.btn-trigger' does not exist

So something is definately amiss...! Seems like a problem with the .ini file, as there were a couple of complaints near the end about the lack of a reference to a splash screen image / dwell time, which went away when I replaced these in the .ini file. Not sure what the EMC, LINUXCNC sections are all about though.

I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks,
Pat

ps - linuxcnc runs fine in simulation, by the way....

Hi

custom_postgui.hal:22: Pin 'input.0.btn-trigger' does not exist

This is the problem. Either this named pin does not exist, or it is being called before it is created.

I suspect that this is a gamepad and that this button should now be called input.0.btn-joystick, as per this thread
