It gets better and better. Never even gave it a thought that I didn't need to edit a file. Go to the top of the class and give the nibs out:)

New iso coming up, includes files for qtvcp & designer with qtvcp widgets. This image with boot from grub as an iso image on a fat32 file system. In anyone is interested I can post up some instructions on creating a simple multi boot usb with out needing any third party packages.

in the interim I have a small script that pulls in the required deps.
Code:
#!/bin/sh # Packages for qtvcp screens sudo apt-get install python-pyqt5 \ python-pyqt5.qsci \ python.pyqt5.qtopengl \ python-pyqt5.qtsvg \ python-opengl \ python-opencv \ python-dbus.mainloop.pyqt \ qttools5-dev-tools \ qttools5-dev # Secondary packages for designer # Comment out the code below if you don't require # the files to create your own user interface sudo apt-get install python-pyqt5.qtmultimedia \ qml-module-qtquick-controls \ gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad \ libqt5multimedia5-plugins \ python-dev \ python-setuptools \ python-pip git \ python-pyqtgraph

Copy the lib & create link as per (lib is in qt5.9 directory in a tarball)
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/master...ython/qtvcp/designer

Files now available, as usual tested in Vbox
md5: 86 bytes (86 bytes)
drive.google.com/open?id=1jcSdgUkSubGNo8oRt_acU_0sjqCFJZyN

iso: 2.3 GB (2340421632 bytes):
drive.google.com/open?id=17f4FhtF5hayFpumpNHrGFyJ0OQlRb9aT

Enjoy

First off I just want to thank everyone who has contributed time and knowledge to LinuxCNC installs here in the forums. Moving from a Carbide 3D Shapoko and Nomad to building a CNC powered by LinuxCNC has been a goal for the last year. I have the CNC built, just need to get LinuxCNC up and running.

My first Noob mistake was to install Wheezy with RTAI. Since my controller is a Mesa 7i76e, that didn't work. So I decided to go for a fresh install and thought I would go for Mint 19.3 with Stretch 2.9 RT-Preempt. The install didn't go as smoothly as planned (in all honesty, I started over 3 times). But I got it up and running. Then installed the RT kernal and optimized the ethernet settings per the man pages and forum suggestions. Then I went through pncconf and created a setup. When I try and launch the setup I get the following error:
Starting DISPLAY program: axis
USRMOT: ERROR: command timeout
emcMotionInit: emcTrajInit failed


And then LinuxCNC shuts down. I searched the forums for this error, but couldn't find a resolution, so I'm hopping someone here can help. I've attached error report, hal, and ini files.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I'm still pretty green on linux.
