Intsalling SIM LinuxCNC on Ubuntu 23.04

Download the Ubuntu 23.04 ISO
ubuntu.com/download
-Write to USB using Balena Etcher or Win32DiskImager, balena works on Linux also.
-Boot and install as usual, reboot when done.
-After reboot, open a terminal and type-
-This does not install the RT kernel, will add that later as Ubuntu uses some other type of real time that does not work for us

For the adventurous, RodW suggested using XanMod kernel, if you want to actually run machines with it:

If you do use it, please report back the results.
Thank you.

Enjoy.

I'm getting an "unable to locate package" message when I try to install linuxcnc.

Did you do
sudo apt update
and
sudo apt upgrade
?
If you did and are still getting the error, you have the wrong version, you have 22.04, not the 23.04 version of Ubuntu.

@Rod,
They are not there, 23.04 comes with some type of Preempt-somethingoranother, forgot, not near the tablet where it is installed, so it does not have any RT in the repo.
I intentionally did not add the RT kernel before i do some testing, 6.2 works ok so far.
Will add more as soon as get a chance.

That was the second on my list.
I do have it installed on another PC with Mint 21.1, works perfectly.
Also had it on this Acer Switch 5 tablet, worked perfectly, it even worked perfectly on a new-ish Lenovo P14 G3 with Ryzen 5 5500U processor and GPU with RealTek network. On the tablet i use it with a USB 1.1 to Eth adapter and a new USB Type C to Gig eth with RealTek network.

Is this all assuming MESA hardware?

Not exclusively, although the chat above is for Mesa hardware, i still use some PC's with parallel port, but mostly Mint 19.3 with 4.9 kernel on those.
This topic is mainly due to very simple installation, a single line.
For simulation that is it, for machine control it does also require the RT kernel, so another line.

As a side note, this installs a February build of LinuxCNC 2.9.

Just to be clear, this with the RT kernel, or RTAI if and when awailable, does work for parallel, Mesa, should also work for PICO Systems and everything normaly supported by LinuxCNC
