Andy, I did think to try the Synapse package manager yesterday, and it found nothing.
When did Linuxcnc Live ISO's switch from Ubuntu to Xubuntu? seems my issues are common for newbies since this change.
- GEDIT missing
- defined user not SUDOer
By the way, I watched your Holbrooke conversion videos yesterday. Love the way you integrated the two jog wheels into the apron. Are those aluminum castings, or did you do iron? Look forward to an updated video showing your current controller gui.
BJT, Thanks, I'll try that tonight.

The castings are all iron, but I didn't do them myself. I made the patterns and sent them to a foundry. It costs less than you might think.

The LiveCD is based on Debian Wheezy, not any sort of Ubuntu. This was because of restrictions imposed by Canonical on redistributed installers, as I understand it.When did Linuxcnc Live ISO's switch from Ubuntu to Xubuntu? seems my issues are common for newbies since this change.

I read your whole blog Andy.
"I got quite good at sitting in a cupboard with a knee supporting the motor while I tightened nuts. But I never learned to enjoy it"
That had me nearly wetting myself.
Great restore on the Rivett, and weird Motorbike. I am working on a new furnace to successfully cast iron, as all the previous attempts have been failures.
Are you sure that Holbrook is only 700KG? My Boley 4LV is 680kg, and it is only 8x18, and Looks less massive.

That's what the manual says (well, it says 760kg / 1650 lbs.)

I guess 80kg more than my Boley is also another whole person heavier.

Hi BJT,
I tried that, but it also gives an error:
boley@Boley-4LV:~$ sudo apt install -y gedit/trusty gedit-common/trusty gedit-plugins/trusty
[sudo] password for boley:
sudo: apt: command not found

Is this the problem? See attachment... Under repositories, nothing is selected. If I select Debian software, "officially supported - Main" the tick disappears after a second.
What do need to change to get access to the Debian repository?

I've installed Debian Wheezy on a drive and I'm taking notes how to solve most issues like this and will post them when I'm done.
Edit: You must be fully updated before you can install gedit. I updated and waited a few then had to update again.
In a terminal
