Debian 12 - Bookworm Live installer ISO for linuxcnc (x86_64)

I have a photo of it.

 

From the screen dump, you have nothing to upgrade so its not an issue.
That raspberry pi bug seems to have returned to Debian core code. Its not a Linuxcnc thing
SO the error is in relation to the  rasppi firmware it thinks is installed.

try sudo apt remove z50-raspi-firmware or
sudo apt remove raspi-firmware if it errors

That is why I downloaded the ISO again. I thought I might have grabbed the wrong one.

I tied both commands and they both error.

john@X3CNC:~$ sudo apt remove z50-raspi-firmware

I then tried this and it did not error:

That seemed to do it.
Thanks Rod.

Just to be clear Tommy, this pi firmware is not installed by Linuxcnc. The issue is with Debian because we use the official Debian Live Installer.
We don't even to any shell scripting, we just configure it all through files and settings.
I did occasionally see the name pop up when the installer runs.
I think that it is possible to tell the installer not to install a package. maybe we can do that.

keep getting this error:

I don't understand why this is happening. Is it a new installation?
Why has dkms been loaded? do you have any drivers (eg realtek NIC drivers) installed that requires it?
