Did you get past this?

The steps are basically;

1) download the kernel
2) apply the kernel patch
3) build the kernel
4) install the kernel

reboot

5) download linuxcnc
6) install linuxcnc

Is this a laptop btw?

Code excerpt from the tutorial;
wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.8.11.tar.xz 
wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.8/older/patch-4.8.11-rt7.patch.gz
tar -xpf linux-4.8.11.tar.xz
gunzip patch-4.8.11-rt7.patch.gz
cp patch-4.8.11-rt7.patch linux-4.8.11
cd linux-4.8.11
cat patch-4.8.11-rt7.patch | patch -p1
make xconfig
make -j4 deb-pkg

This is your error;
hamish@hamish-Presario-CQ57-Notebook-PC ~ $ tar -xpf linux-4.8.11.tar.xz
 tar: linux-4.8.11.tar.xz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
 hamish@hamish-Presario-CQ57-Notebook-PC ~ $ tar -xpf linux-4.8.11.tar.xz
 tar: linux-4.8.11.tar.xz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

This error means you are not in the folder that contains the downloaded files or a typo; hence the file does not exist.

where is the linux-4.8.11.tar.xz file located? This should be in the home folder as well. I can see the patch file; but not the actual kernel file linux-4.8.11.tar.xz

But It appears that you have a folder named linux-4.8.11;( if extracted this is where it would be located) but I don't see the source file linux-4.8.11.tar.xz
/home/hamish/linux-4.8.11

You appear to have downloaded the patch file and then executing the commands for the kernel file. I think you are out of sequence here and missed the kernel file download or its located inside of the /home/hamish/linux-4.8.11 folder.

I am on a laptop
With the first line of the command I got "hamish@hamish-Presario-CQ57-Notebook-PC ~ $ wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.8.11.tar.xz
--2018-02-16 15:42:21-- ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.8.11.tar.xz

I the went to the "kernell" centre and downloaded version 4.15.3.tar.xz, repeated the instruction but changing to 4.15 etc

You need to replace the ftp kernel fetch with http

At the moment I am extracting Linux-4.8.11.tar.xz and it seems to be taking a long time. I thought the ftp looked odd

Thanks! PCW

I did not know that. Looks like the support died at the end of the year.

I tried to edit my tutorial to update this information but I can not edit my posts. Does anyone know if this is new or just a glitch?
