Actualy i had to allow a password for root
sudo passwd
Then in my user (cnc) open terminal
su root
And then i could start from the directory the script ./lcnc-test
Otherwise it could not open files and/or mixes up with linux (internal) display 0 and 10 or11.
Now it seems to run as expected. Curious to see the results.

Wondering why the use of debian repos for Mint when I have put a repo for Mint including kernel that works and the required Linuxcnc packages.
Add the repos, install the kernel and install the packages using apt-get.
Or you can just use the Mint ISO and test\install.
Unless of course there is a problem with the server I'm using.
Haven't updated the repo recently as I've got stuff to do around the house and sorting the work shop out.

I used yours and it works like a charm. And as this sbc is just a test board and i want to run also this headless i installed xrdp. Never did mint before and to my surprise the latest mint is problematic in that concern. So started my rally. You get a mix of things / windows that are shown local and remote screen. Related to the internal display representation.
If that takes too long, i will reinstall on other ssd with you nice iso, and forget remote.
P. S. Yes ivm spoiled to work on stagged jumpstations...

I've run VNC and tunneled X through ssh with no worries.

I dislike vnc. Seems that xrdp in mint is also partialy based on vnc functions, and do not intend to go so deep into code. Until now i never had such problems with rdp, always worked like a charm.
Also i was offered by mint to upgrade to version .3 by the uograder. Have you done that with your iso, should that work?

Haven't tried.....I run either 19.2 or 18.3 at home.
Mint 20 will be out shortly, but I'll wait for a second point release before making packages, just to make sure any bugs are squashed.

Mint 20 beta is out, but it lacks the backport repositories so there is no easy way of installing LinuxCNC on it.

Nah it could be done, without the backports....with a little magic.

I can make anything and everything work, but for normal users it has to be as simple as possible so they can get their machines working in under 30 minutes.
And there is the issue of not using Python 2 any more, so that adds to complexity for users who want to use the Python driven GUI's and some other stuff, but there is work being done to move on to Python 3, or at least i hope there is.
