Get the wheezy iso, install, open synaptics, disable the 2.7 version, enable master, update, install 2.8.

Switching back to 2.7 is almost as simple. If you didn't delete the old 2.7 repository re-enable it and disable the master one then in Synaptic find Linuxcnc, select it, pull down the package menu, and select "Force Version". From the pull down list in the window that pops up, choose the Linuxcnc version you want to install and apply.

Very helpful, and it worked! From what I can gather given I'm building a Gantry Plasma machine, configuring a gantry machine is better in master 2.8. Am I on the right track?

I believe so. If I were running a gantry machine I certainly would be. But, I might not enable automatic updates for Linuxcnc, as occasionally the Master branch gets broken as it is still under development. I would still update it regularly, but only when I could carefully observe machine behavior for a time. (in other words not under production with employee drones running the machine.)

I have that problem a lot, so i do not have any employees, to damn unreliable and completely void of any logical thinking ( also ignorant as hell here where i live).
Still i get that a lot with customers, as they are capable of messing up even the most simple of tasks, but i have to deal with that! I gues it is called LIFE!

Hello
I am working on a gantry machine and want to install current master 2.8. I have successfully updated my install to 2.7.6.26 today without any problems. I am running the LMDE-2 package for the OS and desktop. Please see the kernel version I am running below:
I need some step by step instructions for how to install this package. I tried the previous mentioned instructions but don't know how to get the link into Synaptic, only the links to 2.7 are there. I have tried searching the linuxcnc.org site and must not be using the correct terms to find the needed instructions.
thank you
John

That is a non standard kernel you have, but you can try these steps:
open buildbot.linuxcnc.org/
scroll down to where the "Wheezy (uspace: realtime with RT-Preempt, and simulation)" is and copy and paste the 2 lines ending with "master" from there to :
Open synaptics package manager>settings>repositories
go to "additional repositories" and disable any line pertaining to linuxcnc, then add the 2 lines from buildbot.
Close, update, try to install !
Normally that is all, it should install and work properly, but in you case you might need to try the Jessie version, if Wheezy does not work.
