I am not sure it is there, so you do need RIP just to be sure.
Did not know you needed it for 7i95.

Just did a quick check on Mesanet.com, that is a nice board, now i need one to play with!

My bad, I forgot to mention it.
My work around for now was just to add some if: else: statements to load the correct tkinter libraries and it lead to creating a tk window with vismach config. For now it works, till I figure out how to get rid of python2 and use only python3

I thought Linuxcnc still relied on python 2.7 and going to 3.0 needed some reworking due to the differences.

I've asked why it hasn't been included in the 2.8 branch as it has been included in the 2.9 branch. If it is possible, I'll ask if it can and if it can and the devs put it into 2.8 I will make new packages asap.

For the time being run with a RIP install and we will see how we go.

Hi guys
I was just wondering if anyone has tried updating Linuxcnc on their Mint boxes with the repos mentioned at the start of this thread ?
Everything seems ok at my end, just wanting to know if it works, kinda works or it doesn't.

I'm slowly working through the build process with python3 for v2.9.......build i seems to go ok but I'm getting 4 failed tests.
