Hi tommylight
Thanks a ton for the guide and the script. Off curse I had to specify a root passwd, so I had to remove all the sudo references in your script. When running the script, I got a message that »ldconfig« and »start-stop-daemon« were not in PATH or not fount. The hint that "normally /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin " should be in roots PATH gave me the clue to the solution:
echo $PATH 
'/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games'
export PATH=$PATH:/sbin
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin
echo $PATH                        
'/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin'
solved the problem and now your script ran through successfully.
So BIG THANKS

Just a quick update:
Solution is not persistent. I did this to get it persistent:
echo "export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" >> /root/.bashrc
Not elegant, I know, but now su stuff works.

Hi,

i found something, which works (hope the link is ok)

wiki.altervista.org/cs/kernel_boot_parameters
Example of the "isolcpus" option

Open the file /etc/default/grub. Example:

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Edit the option GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in the file /etc/default/grub to boot all the kernels with the new option. In this case, the kernel boot option isolcpus=2,3 has been used, on a 4 cores CPU, to boot the kernel (and the other OS processes) using CPU cores 0 and 1, while CPU cores 2 and 3 are isolated, i.e., not used.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash isolcpus=2,3"

Run the command:

sudo update-grub

to make active the GRUB configuration at the next reboot.


With this, my latency is under 10t :)

Best regards
Jörg

I cannot get past the install of the key, it fails, I get back the following,

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-key EF1B07FEE0EE663E
Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.Ll1dJq6gRH/gpg.1.sh --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-key EF1B07FEE0EE663E
gpg: keyserver receive failed: Server indicated a failure

I then tried another keyserver that is further on in this post but get the same thing,
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys EF1B07FEE0EE663E
Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.v2MTYd2ZPD/gpg.1.sh --keyserver ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys EF1B07FEE0EE663E
gpg: keyserver receive failed: Server indicated a failure

Can anyone let me know what may be the problem

Thanks
Ian

SOLVED

Problem was that the DNS entry was incorrect for my installation. Once I found and fixed that issue, it all installed correctly.

Thanks

linuxcnc.org/temp/2.8_test4.iso

(Installs Buster and a buildbot version of LinuxCNC 2.8)
This is 99% of what the official 2.8 release will be, so feedback appreciated.

Note that the QTVCP configs need extra dependencies, this will be fixed in the final release.

It is important _not_ to specify a root password in the Debian installer as this disables sudo for all users.

LinuxCNC relies on setuid, so needs sudo.

This is mentioned briefly in the Buster install notes:

I installed Buster on two computers, never got asked to set a root password, but Wheezy and Stretch did ask for it so i just left it blank and it always worked.
I did use the installer from the desktop of the Live version of Buster.
