Hi everyone, I've run into bit of an problem trying to use this guide to install Linuxcnc on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04. I first tried the install on 64bit, then switched to 32bit in case that was the issue.
I am following post 2 and I manage to install everything without any errors, until I start up linuxcnc. Running it from the command line and choosing the standard axis sample configuration, I get this output:
Code:

LinuxCNC terminated with an error. You can find more information in the log:

and
/home/chris/linuxcnc_print.txt
as well as in the output of the shell command 'dmesg' and in the terminal
chris@chris-desktop:~$
Linuxcnc starts and shows the splash screen, and then crashes. I tried tklinuxcnc as well, in case it was a graphics issue, but that had the same result.
This is my linuxcnc print file:

Another thing to note is that Latency test gives no output, it runs fine, however, all values remain at zero.
Any help with the matter would be greatly appreciated. I would prefer to get this running using Ubuntu Gnome, seeing as i am using a 22 inch touch screen and would prefer the interface of Gnome.
Thanks, Chris.
