(superseeded) Linuxcnc on Linux Mint 19.3 quick and easy installation

You can safely ignore that, it is for some Mesa boards that require uploading firmware at boot up, the ones we mostly use have their own flash memory so no firmware is required except in case you need to change some of the features of the card, and even then that can be done using mesaflash tuility.

I just tried pinging 10.10.10.10 it’s showing no response I fallowed the steps I was sent a couple posts ago and I bet that’s a lot of why I can’t get my motors to move is there anything else I can do

Did you set the Mesa card jumper for a 10.10.10.10 network? By default it is set at 192.168.1.121.
If you did follow JT tutorial on setting the network, you have to revert back to how it was before using my tutorial, and you really have to follow instructions properly, and when asking for help provide more details. We chased a non existing problem for days.
Or if it is easier for you, do a fresh install and follow my tutorial for setting the network, that works always, i used it on over 20 installations as i install and test a lot of PC's.
