Installing LinuxCNC on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is not possible.

I tried to install "linuxcnc-uspace" and I got dependency errors.
The "linuxcnc" package has no installation candidate on both Ubuntu and Debian (even the version of Debian supplied with the LinuxCNC ISO).

The offical ISO image does work, however.

It gives a broken dependencies error due to apt being super picky about which version of Python is installed.

Hi,
for your information, I had the same issue.
I am currently debugging and check if it will work. I can then update you
Could also not compile it myself due to dependencies issues.

Ubuntu 24.04 is a dependency issue nightmare.

You are probably better off using 22.04 LTS IMO.

I have had 2 computers refuse to work due to some dependecy-related issue that I think has to do with Intel graphics.

I had to boot into recovery mode, enable networking, and run the "fix broken packages" thingy to fix it both times.

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS has never given me any issues at all.

Ubuntu 24.04 has given me many, many issues, though it is a nice OS when it works.

I find Ubuntu great for a server, much easier to add software to than Slackware, now that was dependency hell, sometime you'd spend all day installing\replacing packages from source just to install one package. Even if the packages were available you'd have to work out what else to add.

Either Mint or Debian for desktop. Used to use some of the first version of Puppy Linux, prior to it having wifi and helping to get that going.
