Mesact 2 Setup was created by tray
Using the following
uname -a
Linux debcnc 6.1.0-23-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_RT Debian 6.1.99-1 (2024-07-15) x86_64 GNU/Linux
From the url to install and setup mesact
github.com/jethornton/mesact
To run from a terminal you need to install some depenencies:
sudo apt install python3-pyqt5
sudo apt install python3-distro
sudo apt install zip
When I run..
sudo apt install python3-distro
I get the following error message.
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package python3-distro is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'python3-distro' has no installation candidate
Does anyone know how to fix? Thanks
Thanks

What does this in a terminal return:
apt search python3-distro
?
apt search python3-distro
?

That does not seem right at all, i get this on Mint22I am pretty sure it is an issue with repositories, probably from using and older ISO that had such issues, so Rod should have some info on how to fix that.
In the meantime, open "software sources" from the menu and try enabling other repositories (there are 3, something with romeo, unstable, source code, or similar).
You can do the same thing from the "synaptics package manager" if the above is missing.
Do and update first, then try apt search or apt install again.
cnc@256NVME:~$ apt search python3-distro
i python3-distro - Linux OS platform information API
p python3-distro-info - information about distributions' releases (Python 3 module) In the meantime, open "software sources" from the menu and try enabling other repositories (there are 3, something with romeo, unstable, source code, or similar).

Hi Thanks for the pointer
Very limited repos....
Terminal command:
tail /etc/apt/sources.list
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 12 _Bookworm_ - Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20240721-21:05]/ bookworm contrib main non-free non-free-firmware
looks like I need those repositories you mentioned.

The python3-distro library is in all the recent Debian releases so I'm confused why you don't have it?

Yeah, sorry I'm at a loss also.
I was thinking of getting linux mint and installing Linuxcnc on that.
After all this is a fresh install I am attempting to install the mesact on.
