Hey folks,

I recently decided to get linuxcnc for my cnc mill and tried to install Debian and Linuxcnc on an old Laptop I still got laying arount.
Installing debian was´nt a problem but I can´t get the repository via shell command.

So wehen I try:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://linuxcnc.org/ wheezy base 2.7-uspace"

I get
command not found

in return.

The RT Kernel is running. But I have´nt been using Linux for quite some time.
Would be great if someone could help me out there.

PS: Hope this is the right place for that topic, if not please relocate...

First of all thanks for the quick response. Now I did as described in the linked page but when I got to the install step I got another error message:
Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages

So still no luck there.

Iḿ still trying to work out my install problems.

I got Buster running because for some reason the linuxcnc image did'nt install as it should (during install process the software packages could'nt be installed, so no KDE or GNOME)

I followed the instructions as shown here: Debian10 LinuxCNC install guide
Everything worked up to this point:
modify the following files

debian/control.bottom.in
remove python-gtksourceview2, on line 14
remove python-vte

debian/control
remove python-gtksourceview2, on line 68
remove python-vte
When I tried to modify the files linux told me I'm not authorized (even as root, which I tried after the first attempt failed).
I also could'nt find LinuxCNC in the applications, so it does'nt seem to be installed, even if it should be, right?
Can anybody tell me what I'm missing here?

PS: Sorry for the bad english

The guide is for installing LinuxCNC from source and compile it. Not sure if this is the best approach for you.

Maybe try downloading Debian 9 with Linuxcnc ISO - burn it to USB/DVD and install it.

Thanks but installing the LinuxCNC ISO was one of the instances where I could´nt install GNOME or KDE, so that option is out. Same with Debian 9 (no GNOME or KDE; even with bash commands). I also tried Ubuntu.
My last attempt failed when I tried to install LinuxCNC via KDebi: "missing dependency, libboost-python1.62.0".
So far that´s still my best bet, but I can´t find that "libboost-python1.62.0" anywhere xept for dead/404 websites

I have to ask, why would you want to install Gnome or KDE on an old Laptop? Maybe try installing Debian 9 and run latency tests first, before you spend more time on this.

@tommylight: For me it did´nt.
@0x2102: "Old Laptop" as in 10 years old, I do´nt see a problem there. My main goal is to get LCNC up and running to see how working with my CNC-Mill via LCNC is gonna be. ATM I dont even have a cloosed loop system installed; just good old stepper motors. For that I dont need latency tests but a working interface/machine controller.
So does anyone here know where to find a downloadable "libboost-python1.62.0" file? Maybe a link? I´d really appreciate it.

Did you enable the source code repositories in the software sources ?
