current master (2.9) building debs error?

To explain the purpose of some of these:
git - not installed by default / part of the package {useful for cloning github repositories]
geany - probably already installed {it is on linuxcnc iso, but not on other distros}
grub-customizer - if you need to change any settings in grub to latency, then its very easy to use
ethtool - I use ethotool for my intel network cards to improve ping times
curl - useful to download stuff using curl
dpkg-dev - for building debs
inkscape
gimp
librecad
freecad
python3-opengl - cant remember what needed it
gnome-icon-theme - this sorts out the missing icons in the linuxcnc iso distro (such as the "run" icon etc)
xfce4-power-manager - this is used for turning off all the screensaver and autologoff etc screens not helpful for cnc
network-manager-gnome - this is installed as it works better than nm-tray (which you will need to remove, and it stops the multiple entries + looks better and used in bullseye)
debhelper - used for nativecam to build.... if you want nativecam
live-build

hm.... did not realise you were trying to get qtpyvcp.....

www.qtpyvcp.com/install/bullseye.html

going via the buster linuxcnc iso can be done but its a long route around

try the above ^^^^^^

it does work as I've done it before

Note Linuxcnc is not "9"...... the master {development version} is presently "2.9".

stable release is "2.8.2"

it is looking like "2.9" will be released at some point in the next few months possibly as a stable to align with debian bookworm

thinking about it...... there may be a quicker / easier way than building debs on your local machine.....

Just install a clean version of debian bullseye
I would recommend:
cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/no....0-amd64-netinst.iso

then just install the debs from the buildbot respostory for linuxcnc and install them:
buildbot.linuxcnc.org/dists/buster/maste...reempt/binary-amd64/

basically just look for the newest date ones:
you only need:
buildbot.linuxcnc.org/dists/buster/maste...g433a36711_amd64.deb
buildbot.linuxcnc.org/dists/buster/maste...g433a36711_amd64.deb
buildbot.linuxcnc.org/dists/buster/maste...1.g433a36711_all.deb

install each of the debs using:
and you SHOULD have a working linuxcnc distro.....

there may be dependencies when you try to install the deb files.... just install them

(I can give you a walkthrough tomorrow night if you want)

I really appreciate your detailed help on this, thanks!

I’ll try the bullseye/lcnc 2.9 (yes, not “9”) install tomorrow as per your instructions and let you know how it goes. (I’m in the U.S. Pacific time.)

(Btw, I’m using linuxcnc for a 3-axis homemade CNC router.)

Thanks again!

I'm in the UK on GMT+1/ Zulu+1 time (British summer time).

I'll set up a pc with bullseye and the current master from debs so if you have issues I should have the same ones

give me a few hours need to get the day job out of the way

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!
 

Hmm.... lets take a step back.... What is your final destination for qtpyvcp?

what GUI do you want to run?

are you looking for ProbeBasic?

I ask because the instructions for ProbeBasic are confusing..... (bare with me, before the posts start flying).

probe basics install instructions are written for BUSTER + LinuxCNC 2.8
kcjengr.github.io/probe_basic/index.html

qtpyvcp install instructions and recommendations are to use Debian 11 and Master.
www.qtpyvcp.com/install/bullseye.html
or at least some of them are....

I've set up a debian 11 / bullseye machine (clean install) and got as far as a working qtpyvcp install.... then I've come to add probebasic and the dependencies listed are all python(2)....!!!

I've just remembered that there is another branch for probe basic!!! which is the python3 branch.  Just remember why I hated the install last time.
github.com/kcjengr/probe_basic/tree/python3

QTPyVCP "master" branch is for Python3.
ProbeBasic "master" is for Python2!!!!

again what is your final destination ..... what gui do you want to install??
