Updating from my original install 2+ years ago was created by schmidtmotorworks

I originally installed at 2.5.0-pre2-626-g402b6cd with Ubuntu 10.4 LTS.

It has been working OK for the last 2 years.

I am thinking of updating to a later version, as I was waiting for a bug fix in Glade.

Any advice or warnings would be appreciated.

if your updating to the latest 2.5.3 then you should not have any problem .
if your updating to the latest development then you may need to adjust a few values in your INI . but overall it should be painless and nothing to worry over with either .

I tried to do an update today but some file were downloaded but some were not found:

Failed to fetch buildbot.linuxcnc.org/dists/lucid/2.5_br...ary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found

I did the install anyhow and it said I have the latest version

Axis still says this on the header;

2.5.0-pre2-626-g402b6cd

Does anyone have any idea what is happening?

your update did not succeed as you intended , and is still running on your origional install
check that you have the correct entrys in your package manager for 2.5.3 etc , and not a typo somewhere

Hi

buildbot.linuxcnc.org/dists/lucid/v2.5_b...ary-i386/Packages.gz
is the correct address of the package zip

Try doing sudo apt-get update

If you are still unable to fetch that and update your packages then just download
buildbot.linuxcnc.org/dists/lucid/v2.5_b...45.g2ba536e_i386.deb

and install with sudo dpkg -i linuxcnc_2.5.3.45.g2ba536e_i386.deb from the directory where the package was downloaded to

regards

Thank you for the help.
I was able to get the file but when I ran it I got the following:
Does this mean I should uninstall emc2?

mvjr@mvjr-desktop:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i linuxcnc_2.5.3.45.g2ba536e_i386.deb

HI

Yes, run sudo dpkg -r emc2 and sudo dpkg -r emc2-dev if installed.

Then install linuxcnc.

This is what happens in the background when you update via synaptic or whatever, sorry I was assuming too much knowledge.

Trying gin today.
removing emc2 seemed to go oK

When I run this:

mvjr@mvjr-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install linuxcnc

I get this

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linuxcnc: Depends: tclreadline but it is not installable
Recommends: hostmot2-firmware but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

Does anyone know what I can do now?

Hi

You seem to have switched from downloading the package and installing with dpkg, to using apt-get, which is dependent upon the sources.list being up to date

If you have removed emc2 with dpkg, try downloading buildbot.linuxcnc.org/dists/lucid/v2.5_b...74.g450b0fc_i386.deb

and installing with

sudo dpkg -i linuxcnc_2.5.3.74.g450b0fc_i386.deb from the directory it is in

(tclreadline is still available for 10.04

packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/tclreadline)

regards

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
