LinuxCNC Install using MX Linux 19.4 - Geared Toward New Users - Discussion

Thanks Done
 

I think I have now successfully moved my config from the plasma via the backup from screen to another pc that I have put MXlinux on (thanks Snowy) it shows QTplasmac as V1.0.95

I then moved the ssd to my PC driving the plasma that all worked fine.

So then I wanted to update the original plasma ssd as it was on V1.0.32 I used apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade which ran fine I could see python 3 flashing past in the list.

But it did not change the QTplasmaC to the latest version is is still at 1.0.32

Have I missed somthing?

Edit the original ssd is linux 2.9

Glad to hear it!

What distribution is the repository pointed to in the synaptic package manager?

Does this help?

 

EDIT: I'll leave the below as a testimonial that you simply can't trust Windows users with Linux.  Problem Fixed... I had found some random keyserver phase in a random post on this site and just copy-pasted with the port:80 added. Monkey CTL-C, monkey CTL-V. Didn't work (see below).  Should have copied the actual keyserver stuff from the actual instructions and added the ":80".  Success, and the follow-on repository addition worked.


Thanks for the installation guide.  I have MX running, but got an error when trying to add the buildbot repository.

NOTE - I also got lots of failures when trying to do the 'keyserver' step.  Finally tried the 'port 80' thing from the buildbot page and it appeared to work.

This is probably an issue on my end (network?), but I really don't know how to troubleshoot Linux enough to get any further.

Anyone decipher what this error is and how to fix it?
