Please use the official release found here:
linuxcnc.org/downloads/
Use this tutorial only if you have issues with dirvers, be it WiFi or graphic or else, ..
This is the easiest way to get Linuxcnc working on Debian Buster:
--Download the non-free version of Debian as the free version has no proprietary drivers included and may result in non functioning hardware, from here
-
cdimage.debian.org/images/unofficial/non.../current-live/amd64/
-
----In case the above link does not work, change the number 4 in the address to 5, where the debian version is. So 10.4.0 becomes 10.5.0 or 10.6.0 etc. Only needed when a new version of Debian is released. Also do please notify us so we can fix the link.
-
--Choose BT if you have bittorrent client installed or iso-hybrid for normal download
--Write the downloaded ISO to a USB drive using DD in linux or win32imager in windows
--Boot from that USB, make sure the BIOS is set to boot from USB devices, if not repeatedly click on F9 or F11 or F12 as soon as you press the power switch, that should get you the choice of bootable devices, choose USB, not UEFI-USB, if at all possible.
--Let it boot too the desktop, click on "install debian" on the desktop.
--Reboot, remove the USB.
- Method 1:
Download the attachment, unzipping it to your Downloads folder, double click on "install.sh" and choose "run in terminal" . If that does not work then type these lines in terminal:Press Y once when prompted and reboot when finished.
-
- Method 2:
-Open terminal and copy and paste one by one the following lines:-Reboot
-Enjoy
- For setting up using parallel port, click on "applications" menu on the upper left > cnc > Stepconf Wizard
- For setting up Mesa boards, click on "applications" menu on the upper left > cnc > Pncconf Wizard
Enjoy !
Additional info:
It seems the this Debian has issues with USB WIFI dongles with the Realtek hardware, so in case you see the wireless networks but it will not connect, open a terminal and paste this:
sudo ln -s /dev/null /etc/systemd/network/99-default.link

This is more to prove that getting Linuxcnc is simple and can be done in 20 to 30 minutes flat.
I read everything on this forum and i am getting tired of seeing new users being advised to compile Linuxcnc and kernels to make it work, also building "run in place" Linuxcnc ! Those are for developers and tinkerers and people who have some knowledge of inner workings of Linux and Linuxcnc.
New users want to have a running machine as fast as possible, not spend days compiling.

Edited original post to use official Debian Buster kernel.
Makes it even simpler to install.
