LinuxCNC On Ubuntu Precise

Hello,

I followed the install process at this website: LinuxCNC On Ubuntu Precise

Everything went fine until I got to:

Step 6. Install the RTAI kernel and modules by running: sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.4.55-rtai-2 rtai-modules-3.4.55-rtai-2

This created errors, I'm sorry I wasn't able capture them. I had to remove the files with :

sudo apt-get install --uninstall linux-image-3.4.55-rtai-2

sudo apt-get install --uninstall rtai-modules-3.4.55-rtai-2

To get this to install correctly after removing the files I had to break it the commands into two parts:

sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.4.55-rtai-2

sudo apt-get install rtai-modules-3.4.55-rtai-2

This worked without errors.

A reminder to reboot after Step 11 will take care of the shmem memory error I got.

I would post this somewhere where the original author could see it but I'm not sure where to do that. If comeone could forward this information to the author so the page could be updated I would appreciate it.

If there is an updated real time kernel I should be using please direct me to it.

Thanks!

Regards,

Matt
