I've finally managed to get Debian 12 (Bookworm) installed on a new Odroid H3+ (along with ethercat), but LinuxCNC won't open any of the screens that need Python.
This is the output from trying to load gmocapy -

All python screens ultimately generate the same NotImplementedError: Platform does not define a GLUT font retrieval function error.
The tklinuxcnc screen loads without any issues.
From searching, it appears to have something to do with Bookworm using Python 3.10 as default and not having VTK.
Is it possible to downgrade python?
Or is there any other easy(ish) fix?
Or should I just start again with Bullseye?
Edit - Buster doesn't fully support the H3, as it doesn't recognise the network ports, or run at a decent screen resolution.

Original version (without spam link) : docs.python-guide.org/starting/install3/linux/
Note that the text "Fedora" from the original was replaced with a link (SPAM) to "do my assigment for me uk"
Clever, but still spam.

SPAMFor example on do my assignments for me uk, you would use dnf:

Steffan, Linuxcnc's Debian developer has been able to build a Bookworm ISO containing Linuxcnc. He shared a copy with me via Google Drive earlier today for testing.
He's aware of this issue and wants to try his ISO on different hardware before proceeding further.
Unfortunately, I've been unable to pull his ISO down as when I did, I found out I have a network fault on our incoming fibre and am running on a sloooow 4G failover link.

If Steffan is willing to share the link, I'm willing to give it a try.
I'm probably going to start with a fresh Bullseye install, but can try Bookworm again before I do that.

Just tried a fresh Bullseye install, and I'm back to basic graphics, which a quick search seems to point to the intel chipset not being supported until the 6.x kernel.
It looks like I'm currently stuck between a rock and a hard place, unless I learn how to compile my own version, but that's something I really don't have the time for :/

I dont think its anything to do with hardware becasue it affects my 8 year old J1900 (similar to the Odroid's Celeron CPU)
Its pretty clear from the error messages that Linuxcnc is calling a function that does not exist in the packages installed.
Its quite possible that the issue can be resolved by installing another package.
Installing the source and checking for dependencies and install any missing ones might resolve the issue. I have a video about how to do that. (You don't need to build Linuxcnc, just check for and install missing dependencies.)

I've set the updater running to move back to Bookworm, so once that's finished, I'll install LinuxCNC again, and go from there.

I took my own advice as I already had th elinuxcnc source code on the pc. Using the XFCE desktop, I git pulled the latest version, then check dor build dependecies par the Linuxcnc docs.
It found a couple of dependencies that were missing so I installed them and opened Gmocappy fine.
Are you running XFCE graphical environment?

I've installed Mate this time, but I'll swap if needed.

So I ran through that, and got the following list -
And cleaned it up into this -
However it couldn't find the mesa libs and needed the netcat defined.
I just removed the mesa references, and changed netcat to netcat-openbsd.
That all downloaded/installed as normal, however when I ran the ./configure --with-realtime=uspace, it fails while testing Python-
For just now, I think I'll just run Axis, as that should at least let me test the ethercat steppers that should be getting delivered on Monday.
