Trouble installing from a backup was created by Vector
I live near the winds and the fires in Pasadena, California, and after the sudden power failures (several trees made spectacular messes all over our neighborhood, so it was a sudden spike-outage: also fried my fridge) my CNC mini-computer has taken to randomly rebooting.
So I ordered a replacement mini computer, and repeated all my installation steps, except for a scratch re-make of pncconf.
Instead, I copied back all the config files, directories and symbolic links from the old computer (it still runs, just inconsistently).
But at the end of everything, I get this error report and I'm stuck.
I was able to get a version of QtDragon interface to run (as far as actually displaying on the screen, haven't run the machine yet) by going through the pncconf process...
... but I will have to make a lot of changes to get back where I was, so I was hoping to make that restore route work.
If anyone can take a peek at this error report and have an insight into what I've screwed up, it would save me a bunch of time.
If not, then time is what it will take ;-/
Thank you all!

Looks like a problem with QTVCP:
Not sure but did you maybe update the original installation on the old PC at some point and have not done so on the new setup?

Do you want me to move this over to the QTVCP section to have it more exposed to cmorley?

Entirely possible. I updated the old installation several times, but then I installed fresh with:
apt install linuxcnc-uspace linuxcnc-uspace-dev mesaflash
I would have thought that would be equivalent.
And, I didn't make any screen changes to the QtDragon, at least not that I was aware of.

Thank you Aciera,
I think so, if there's a better section of the forums. I very much appreciate it. I'm trying to go step-by-step through the working default .ini file generated by pncconf, but weirdly when I make innocuous changes, like adding a remark line, suddenly I'm getting errors when it shuts down.
Just when I think I figure out what kind of .ini change is causing an error screen on exit, then I can't reproduce it anymore ... at this point I'm just confused.
So more expert help would be great. Thank you!

Doh, Aciera, I think you were pointing me to the right place, and I just needed to kick myself with inane errors before realizing what I missed:
My old machine was installing from the buildbot2.highlab.com repository, and therefore getting a newer version (updated, as you said).
Once I fixed that step, the restored implementation is working (with some slight screen changes, but I can manage that).
Hooray, I'm better/good (for now) thank you.
