Ok what I've done (doing) is uploading the packages to my google drive, I'll send you an email via the forum with the shared link.

What I would like to do first is download Cinnamon and run thru an install with the packages I made just to work out any creases and what not.

Give it about 30 mins or so for the last download and all should be good.

Ok all done, I used a virtual machine to test the installation procedure, but since I had no trouble with Mint-18.3-Mate connecting to my hardware I'll assume Cinnamon should be ok.

Just to be sure I downloaded the files from my google drive, all files installed where from that source. I right clicked on Mint_cnc and selected download, this downloaded all the files in a single zip file, which then I just extracted, changed to the directory (Mint_cnc).
From the directory where all the files are downloaded this is what you need to do, I didn't reboot till it was all done.
sudo apt deb linux-headers-4.11.12-rt16_4.11.12-rt16-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt deb linux-firmware-image-4.11.12-rt16_4.11.12-rt16-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt deb linux-image-4.11.12-rt16_4.11.12-rt16-1_amd64.deb
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu precise main universe'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install ./linuxcnc-uspace_2.7.14_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./linuxcnc-uspace-dev_2.7.14_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./linuxcnc-doc-en_2.7.14_all.deb
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-key 3cb9fd148f374fef
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://linuxcnc.org/ precise base"
sudo apt-get install hostmot2-firmware-all mesaflash

When installing linux-cnc debs all the dependencies will be installed from the net, similar to what apt-get install xxx does
Once I rebooted I was running with the rt kernel and ran axis_sim.
Hopefully all goes well.

I added glade3-3.8.6 suitable for use with Linuxcnc to my google drive. Install by
sudo apt install glade3_3.8.6-1_amd64.deb
Last edit: 22 Jun 2018 02:53 by InMyDarkestHour. Reason: added glade

It looks like I get no email notifications from the forum.

Have you sent me a link to your google drive?
