New install error

Found a laptop laying around the house and decided to install Ubuntu. The computer was running Vista, which I did not need, so I decided to dedicate the whole computer to Ubuntu. So from a LiveCD, I did the full install. When trying to start EMC2, I got the errors that are in the attached file. It did not seem to matter what config I was trying to use either. After that didn't work, I thought I would just try a run it from the CD, but I got the same errors.

I am going to search the web for answers, but while I do I thought I would post here as well.

BTW, this laptop does not have a parallel port and I wondered if that may be the cause.

Thanks for any help.

Hi

Nothing useful in the screenshot

Follow the steps outlined here
www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum...s/27819-advice#46840

regards

Thanks ArcEye. Here are the files.

nothing in file errors.txt

Still nothing in these prints, need the actual error output

nothing in file errors.txt

There has to be, it captures every keystroke and print to stdout or stderr

You have to do it all from a terminal, not use the menu for linuxcnc after starting script

Open a terminal and type
script errors.txt
then
type linuxcnc

Once linuxcnc has errored and finished, press Crtl C to end script

Attach this file errors.txt,

regards

I have tried this several times using the terminal as you said and every time the file comes back with nothing in it. I attached a screenshot for you to see. It won't let me attach an empty file.

You want control D to end (and flush) the typescript

That worked, thanks! Here are the files.

Hi

For some reason there is nothing of use in the output to discern the reason for the crash.

Looks like you are running Ubuntu 10.04, with Linuxcnc 2.5.4.
However the sim you are running is from your own config folders not the installed configs

Try running one of the Sample Configs that were installed instead. I am just wondering if the sim you are running is an old one, perhaps pre 2.4.

That would give the 'waiting for s.axes' error

regards

Hello,

You are correct on the versions. As far as the configs., the location they are at is where the install put them. They are not my configs.

I first tried to run axis from the LiveCd, when that did not work I did an install. I am at a loss as to what to try next.

Thanks for your help!
