Thanks for the replies everyone,
I had already tried the steps outlined in tommylight's last post but I ended up getting a pile of broken packages messages - here is a part of what I got -
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linuxcnc-uspace : Depends: libboost-python1.55.0 but it is not installable
Depends: python-gtksourceview2 but it is not installable
Depends: python-gst0.10 but it is not installable
Depends: gstreamer0.10-plugins-base but it is not installable
Recommends: linuxcnc-doc-en but it is not going to be installed
etc...
won't worry about it for now
Eric

I was trying to suggest installing LinuxCNC but _not_ installing the realtime kernel.

ie, _start_ at step 7 in the process, skipping the kernel install.

Hello,

So I tried to do something similar. I just want to run the UI test some things etc but I am unable to get "axis" to run. I have Debian buster in virtual box, just did some default configs with pnnconf. When I try to load I get this:
Code:
LINUXCNC - 2.9.0-pre0-4014-g28f3d59f0 Machine configuration directory is '/home/lcnc/linuxcnc/configs/LCNC' Machine configuration file is 'LCNC.ini' Starting LinuxCNC... Found file(REL): ./LCNC.hal Note: Using POSIX realtime hm2: loading Mesa HostMot2 driver version 0.15 hm2_4i43: dlopen: /usr/lib/linuxcnc/modules/hm2_4i43.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ./LCNC.hal:9: waitpid failed /usr/bin/rtapi_app hm2_4i43 ./LCNC.hal:9: /usr/bin/rtapi_app exited without becoming ready ./LCNC.hal:9: insmod for hm2_4i43 failed, returned -1 Shutting down and cleaning up LinuxCNC... Unexpected realtime delay on task 0 with period 1000000 This Message will only display once per session. Run the Latency Test and resolve before continuing. Running HAL shutdown script hm2: unloading Note: Using POSIX realtime LinuxCNC terminated with an error. You can find more information in the log: /home/lcnc/linuxcnc_debug.txt and /home/lcnc/linuxcnc_print.txt as well as in the output of the shell command 'dmesg' and in the terminal
Code:
uname -r 4.19.0-16-rt-amd64

What would be the easiest to just get "axis" running?

Ok so I got rid of the realtime task issue by significantly increasing the servo thread, but that doens really matter.
So the issue it probably not having a mesa card or needing a parallel port. Is there a way to config the system so you dont need actual hw or a parallel port?

You just select one of the sims from the Linuxcnc menu
