Hi

The link you posted is to the sources for linuxcnc
Unless you have all the necessary build tools, which you also won't be able to download, you will not be able to build it.

If you already have 2.5, you should have all the required packages installed to upgrade the linuxcnc debs

This is the debian/control file for the 2.5.2 deb
Package: linuxcnc
Version: 1:2.5.2.234.gfb4e71e
Architecture: i386
Maintainer: Chris Radek <chris@timeguy.com>
Installed-Size: 20428
Depends: libart-2.0-2 (>= 2.3.18), libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.29.3), libc6 (>= 2.7), libcairo2 (>= 1.2.4), libfontconfig1 (>= 2.8.0), libfreetype6 (>= 2.2.1), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libgl1-mesa-glx | libgl1, libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.16.0), libglu1-mesa | libglu1, libgnomecanvas2-0 (>= 2.11.1), libgnomeprint2.2-0 (>= 2.17.0), libgnomeprintui2.2-0 (>= 2.17.0), libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.8.0), libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0), libncurses5 (>= 5.0), libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.14.0), libreadline6 (>= 6.0), libsm6, libstdc++6 (>= 4.2.1), libx11-6 (>= 0), libxaw7, libxext6, libxft2 (>> 2.1.1), libxinerama1, libxml2 (>= 2.6.27), libxmu6, libxrender1, libxss1, libxt6, tk8.5 (>= 8.5.0), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4), linux-image-2.6.32-122-rtai, rtai-modules-2.6.32-122-rtai, tcl8.5, bwidget (>= 1.7), libtk-img (>= 1.13), python (>= 2.6), python (<< 2.7), python-support (>= 0.90.0), python2.6-tk, python2.6-gnome2 | python-gnome2, python2.6-glade2 | python-glade2, python2.6-numpy | python-numpy, python2.6-imaging, python2.6-imaging-tk | python-imaging-tk, python-xlib, python-gtkglext1, python-configobj, tclreadline, bc, procps

Description: PC based motion controller for real-time Linux
 LinuxCNC is the next-generation Enhanced Machine Controller which
 provides motion control for CNC machine tools and robotic
 applications (milling, cutting, routing, etc.).

Check through that you have all the packages listed under Depends: in this file
sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep packagename

(Where there are several package names seperated by a |, that means OR and you just need one of those packages )

If not you will have to search for it, to download the deb for the correct Ubuntu version and copy to USB stick

Then download from the binary repository at linuxcnc.org/lucid/dists/lucid/linuxcnc2.5/binary-i386/
the linuxcnc deb and the linuxcnc-dev deb

Transfer them to a USB stick and from there to your workshop computer

You can install using dpkg

First install any missing dependencies
sudo dpkg -i dependency.deb
(If there are more than one, may need to be in a particular order if they are inter-dependent)

Then
sudo dpkg -i linuxcnc_2.5.2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i linuxcnc-dev_2.5.2_i386.deb

to install the new ones

If you get any complaints, you may need to remove the old packages first
sudo dpkg -r linuxcnc
sudo dpkg -r linuxcnc-dev



Might seem a bit mind blowing if you are a complete linux newbie, but work through thoroughly and look up all the things you are doing before you do them
and you should come away with an understanding of how packages work if nothing else

Thank you for your answer,


I have done the upgrade by removing the hard disk from the machine cabinet and plug it into a my home computer.

So simple...... When you can conect it to internet !

Yeah, that would work too

I thought your only option was a 3g iPad :laugh:
