Hi, I have installed Linuxcnc and when I open the application I get an error.
I am using LINUXCNC - 2.5.3 on a UBUNTU 10.4 System.
I am totally new to Linux and cnc stuff but would like to use your Application.
If you can help I would be grateful. As I am retired and am not familiar with all the Computer speak, if possible help in the form of plain english would be of great help.

It may be that Axis can't start because it cannot access a GL screen.
From a terminal windiow, try running glxgears. If you get a window
that shows some colored, spinning gears, then I'm totally off base.
If you get an error message, that would indicate your video
card and driver combination is not supporting OpenGL, the 3-D
rendering package that Axis needs. You could try changing the
GUI to Mini or TKLinuxCNC by editing the line in the configs/<something>/xxx.ini
file that you have chosen. But, Axis is good, so it may be a better
choice to find out why OpenGL doesn't work and get the right
video driver set up so it does work.
