current master (2.9) building debs error?

Thanks Robert! I'll check that out.

(I hope all the gobbly-gook I've already installed won't mess things up...)

you "may" need to delete the linuxcnc-dev folder.... as I suspect it will clone a new one.... it "may" fail when it detects a folder with the linuxcnc-dev name and it has stuff in it.

Just change linuxcnc-dev to something like linuxcnc-dev-old.

that way you can always just restore it by renaming it.

Darn! That took a long time which wouldn't have been a problem if it worked...BUT...there were no error messages (or at least it finished the process without ending on an error) BUT when I opened axis I got the exact same error message as first posted.... (I did log out after the script install and then logged back in...)

Maybe I should start with a clean OS, then run the lcnc script.

What's the best was to install Bullseye? Or would Bookworm be better?

Thanks!

I would recommend using the 2.8.2 linuxcnc iso (Buster).

Then you can just change the repository to master (buildbot) and update and it WILL work just fine.

it has advantages in my opinion.

sure if you have something new then there can be missing firmware... but it's all solvable.

download:

www.linuxcnc.org/iso/linuxcnc-2.8.2-buster.iso

either DD it to a USB (if in linux) or use etcher / rufus if in windows to copy to usb.

Boot and install.

then I would recommend installing the following

you can take out inkscape, gimp librecad and freecad if you want.... the rest I would just leave as they all have a purpose.

what exactly are you trying to set up?? lathe, mill, router, plasma??

then start synaptic and then just change the linuxcnc repositories to:
then run
you will now have a working Master installed on buster.

Thanks for that. But can you be more specific with the commands and file locations? I haven’t used buildbot before.

And will I end up with. Debian 11 and Linuxcnc 9? I plan to work with qtpyvcp so I think those are prerequisits.

Thanks!
