Linux Mint with RTAI

Sorry Andy I'm not following your statement. Linuxcnc configuration picker vs Linuxcnc?

Are you saying with my above configuration I have the configuration picker open?

I'm running the sim mode to verify the install procedure. How would I tell either way, or how could you tell?

In the second image of #67655 I see a menu item "LinuxCNC Configuration Selector" which I suspect has the same function as the "LinuxCNC" menu item that you said was missing.

Or I might be completely confused. It happens a lot.

Ahh ok, I got it.

The "start" menu is open and is overlaying on the linuxcnc program in that screen shot. (It appears almost the same color ect.)

I was attempting to show the cnc menu item was "messed up" because it placed linuxcnc under the "other" category with that install procedure.

And no worries. I'm still confused! :silly:

2.7.0 has this terrible menu that I made then I corrected it for 2.7.1.

Did you post your changes? I'm just now installing on my mill pc. I just re-downloaded your files.

I'm such a noob.

The .deb packages you built are intended to be installed with a package manager.

I've been following your guide JT and building my Linuxcnc from source. Haha! No big deal - see I'm learning already wish my brain would have kicked in before I told it to build the .deb

Oh well a learning point for me!

Hi, I am also having a few problems installing Mint with xfce. I used JT's script. My motherboard is a gigabyte j1900.
When Grub starts the new rtai kernal, I get a black and white illegible screen. if I boot into safe mode and then continue, all is good.
I think this is the same thing as jts was experiencing??
Here is My grub config file if that helps.
