Hi...
new here, so forgive me if I post this in the wrong place...

I'm setting up a new pc for my CNC machine and wanted the latest LinuxCNC with the "new" (to me) probebasic interface....
Zero issues setting up linuxcnc itself.

but during the install of probebasic it threw up an error:
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:
     command: /usr/bin/python -c 'import sys, setuptools, tokenize; sys.argv[0] = '"'"'/tmp/pip-req-build-egGWlg/setup.py'"'"'; __file__='"'"'/tmp/pip-req-build-egGWlg/setup.py'"'"';f=getattr(tokenize, '"'"'open'"'"', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('"'"'\r\n'"'"', '"'"'\n'"'"');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, '"'"'exec'"'"'))' egg_info --egg-base /tmp/pip-pip-egg-info-70Bi2T

Try as I may, but I can't get "qtpyvcp_conversational_gcode" to install

...
I've followed all the steps here:
kcjengr.github.io/probe_basic/dev_install.html

and the error comes up when I try to:
pip install git+https://github.com/kcjengr/qtpyvcp.conversational-gcode.git

any help is appreciated...

I would recommend you follow the sticky  by lcvette to install probe-basic on bookwormn this day and age. Some conversational is included in probe-basic already. Too much has broken.

You can follow my step by step guide to using bookworm

Hi..

this is a slightly frustrating issue ....  but I've been attempting in vain to get probe basic to run.

After  a myriad of different errors and issues, I've followed this guide:

it seems to work and install just fine until the very last part...
kcjengr.github.io/probe_basic/dev_install.html
[b]7- Edit probe_basicTo be able to edit the probe_basic gui, you will enter the following in the main terminal.editvcp probe_basic[/b]


this gives me the "ini" errort

then trying to start linuxcnc with probe_basic always results in the following error:
    from linuxcnc import ini
ImportError: cannot import name 'ini' from 'linuxcnc' (unknown location)



I'm kind of at a loss and sort of ready to toss linuxcnc out of the proverbial window and switch to mach3/4...
 
any help is very welcome!

qtpyvcp seems to have installed now - that's one improvement...

but that "linuxcnc import ini". is the one I can't solve no matter what I've tried...

Do you actually want to edit something or just use the GUI?

Just use the GUI... that's all I need to be frank.

I've first tried the basic install.. .doesn't work - failed with qtpyvcp... then I managed to get qtpyvcp to install - but still probe_basic can't load... then I've tried the dev method, again with a failure (as mentioned above...)
