After reading this Thread, Grotis give a hint at page 4 to someone who have the same problem. Unfortunately i cant read the hint:-(
Maybe Grotius can help again?

Hi,
Ec debianize is just a script for autostart the ethercat bus at pc startup.
But if ec debianize is not working, follow this steps and start your bus by a terminal command.
For info, this example has nothing involved with linuxcnc. The steps are showing how to install the ethercat bus on a linux pc and
then how to insert a ethercat kernel module EL2124 into the golden ring.
Info:
etherlab.org/en/ethercat/index.php
in terminal :
hg clone hg.code.sf.net/p/etherlabmaster/code ethercat-hg
cd ethercat-hg
hg update stable-1.5
Then in the ethercat-hg directory open the textfile INSTALL with text editor. Follow this steps.
In terminal:
./bootstrap
./configure --disable-8139too (this disables the 8139 driver, we will use generic driver)
make all modules
sudo make modules_install install
sudo depmod
--x--
sudo ln -s ${PREFIX}/etc/init.d/ethercat /etc/init.d/ethercat
sudo cp ${PREFIX}/etc/sysconfig/ethercat /etc/sysconfig/ethercat
--x--
if the steps between x are a problem. open directory ethercat-hg/script/
copy the ethercat-hg/sysconfig map to c:etc/ result = c:etc/sysconfig/ethercat
copy the ethercat-hg/inti.d/ethercat to c:etc/init.d/.. result = etc/init.d/etercat
Then in terminal :
ip link show (for your mac adres, used by next step)
open file as root : (sudo thunar, or sudo apt-get install thunar)
/etc/sysconfig/ethercat ( insert mac adress and generic driver )
MASTER0_DEVICE="yo:ur:ma:c:ad:re"
DEVICE_MODULES="generic"
Ok close file.
This one i did not use :
echo KERNEL==\"EtherCAT[0-9]*\", MODE=\"0664\" > /etc/udev/rules.d/99-EtherCAT.rules
Restart your system.
I started the ethercat by terminal command :
/etc/init.d/ethercat start
or
sudo /etc/init.d/ethercat start
You can do also : ethercat start / ethercat stop / ethercat status / etc.
Now the lights on the busterminal are flickering.
To test a kernel module, in terminal :
goto :
ethercat-hg/examples/mini/ (open terminal here)
In terminal :
sudo insmod ec_mini.ko
dmesg
My output : [ 6256.088425] ec_mini: AL states: 0x0A.
Ok now we make a custom kernel module for the EL2124. See attached mini.c file
Rename your current ethercat-hg/examples/mini.c file
Copy the attached mini.c file into ethercat-hg/examples
1.
open terminal in : ethercat-hg/examples/mini/
in terminal :
sudo make clean
2.
open terminal in : ethercat-hg/
in terminal :
make modules all
3.
open terminal in : ethercat-hg/examples/mini/
in terminal :
sudo insmod ec_mini.ko
4.
In terminal type : dmesg
Output dmesg :
[ 6647.436412] EtherCAT 0: Domain 0: Working counter changed to 1/1

[ 6647.508440] EtherCAT 0: Slave states on main device: OP.
[ 6647.804426] ec_mini: AL states: 0x08.
Ok the EL2124 is flickering 5 volts outputs. So now we are sure the ethercat bus is working oke.
to unload the kernel module : sudo rmmod ec_mini.ko
then : dmesg
Terminal output:

This example is also working nice with QT programming. But it's at userland level.

Restart pc. Ethercat bus will now start by itself. Don't forget to attach cat cable.
-- Test Linuxcnc with ethercat
1. Start linuxcnc choose axis config, create desktop icon.
2. Edit : /home/user/linuxcnc/configs/sim.axis/axis.ini
Add : POSTGUI_HALFILE = postgui.hal
3. Create postgui.hal file in the axis.ini directory.
Add :
loadusr -W /home/user/linuxcnc-ethercat/src/lcec_conf /home/user/linuxcnc/configs/sim.axis/ethercat-conf.xml
loadrt lcec
addf lcec.read-all servo-thread
addf lcec.write-all servo-thread
4. Create ethercat-conf.xml file in the axis.ini directory.
my file looks like :
<masters>
<master idx="0" appTimePeriod="1000000" refClockSyncCycles="1000">
<slave idx="0" type="EK1100" name="Terminal"/>
<slave idx="1" type="EL2124" name="Dig_out0"/>
<slave idx="2" type="EL2124" name="Dig_out1"/>
</master>
</masters>
5. Copy the lcec_conf file from /home/user/linuxcnc-ethercat/src/ to your linuxcnc axis.ini directory
6. Copy the lcec.so file from /home/user/linuxcnc-ethercat/src/ to /usr/lib/linuxcnc/modules/
7. Open /dev/Ethercat0 --> set all permissions to read/write.
Open /etc/udev/rules.d/00-ethercat.rules -> to stop complaining Ethercat0 rules i modified to : KERNEL=="EtherCAT[0-9]*", MODE="0660", GROUP="your user group name"
8. Restart linuxcnc. Open machine -> hal configuration -> Pins -> lcec
your slave pin's will show up.
9. Test Hal command : setp lcec.0.Dig_out0.dout-0 true
10. Oke that's all. Application restart tested ok.

Hi, I know your error. I could fix that quite quickly. It's solution is at --Install ec-debianize next line.
Just to help you a little bit more :
First be sure you have a mercurial install.
$ sudo apt-get install mercurial (mercurial is just as github, mercurial has a config file we have to edit to solve your issue).
Open file : c:/etc/mercurial/hgrc (use "sudo thunar" in terminal to edit the file as root)
Add to file hgrc file the following 2 lines of text :
[extensions]
mq =
save file.
reference 1 : forum.linuxcnc.org/24-hal-components/223...ver?start=870#166516
reference 2 : stackoverflow.com/questions/8360471/how-...xtensions-such-as-mq
If your error keeps the same. restart pc.

Grotius, thanks for your quick answer, it worked for me but at the moment of wanting to run an ini file from linuxcnc I get the following error in terminal:
# I already copied the lcec_conf file in the file where the ini are, so if the error I do not think is because of that
Note: Using POSIX realtime
LinuxCNC terminated with an error. You can find more information in the log:
/home/lion/linuxcnc_debug.txt
and
/home/lion/linuxcnc_print.txt
as well as in the output of the shell command 'dmesg' and in the terminal

Hi Mike,
You forgot to send the debug output of linuxcnc. Or make a screenshot of the relevant debug info.
Start your linuxcnc config step by step. And be sure about correct path's.
In my postgui.hal file the search path is :
loadusr -W /home/user/linuxcnc-ethercat/src/lcec_conf /home/user/linuxcnc/configs/sim.axis/ethercat-conf.xml
For your postgui.hal file the path is :
1**. loadusr -W /youpath/lcec_conf .. .. .. .. .. /yourpath/ethercat-conf.xml (delete the dots)
2. loadrt lcec
3. addf lcec.read-all servo-thread
addf lcec.write-all servo-thread
In fact you could directly link to the orginal lcec_conf folder, in above example without making a copy of the
lcec_conf file to your linuxcnc config directory, where your axis.ini file is located.
You could start linuxcnc with only line 1**. Only load the lcec_conf file. If linuxcnc starts normal, add line 2, etc.
Check the message output of linuxcnc and anticipate on this. If you can't solve it. Just ask over here.
I mentioned Debian buster 10 will not provide usb-tetering from a clean install.
To enable Ethernet over USB :
in terminal :
$ ip link show --> look for the output number other then enp0s25 or lo, in my case :
3: enp0s26f7u5: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP>
goto :
c:/etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf --> add:
g_ether
c:/etc/network/interfaces --> add :

You forgot to send the debug output of linuxcnc. Or make a screenshot of the relevant debug info.
Start your linuxcnc config step by step. And be sure about correct path's.
In my postgui.hal file the search path is :
loadusr -W /home/user/linuxcnc-ethercat/src/lcec_conf /home/user/linuxcnc/configs/sim.axis/ethercat-conf.xml
For your postgui.hal file the path is :
1**. loadusr -W /youpath/lcec_conf .. .. .. .. .. /yourpath/ethercat-conf.xml (delete the dots)
2. loadrt lcec
3. addf lcec.read-all servo-thread
addf lcec.write-all servo-thread
In fact you could directly link to the orginal lcec_conf folder, in above example without making a copy of the
lcec_conf file to your linuxcnc config directory, where your axis.ini file is located.
You could start linuxcnc with only line 1**. Only load the lcec_conf file. If linuxcnc starts normal, add line 2, etc.
Check the message output of linuxcnc and anticipate on this. If you can't solve it. Just ask over here.
I mentioned Debian buster 10 will not provide usb-tetering from a clean install.
To enable Ethernet over USB :
in terminal :
$ ip link show --> look for the output number other then enp0s25 or lo, in my case :
3: enp0s26f7u5: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP>
goto :
c:/etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf --> add:
g_ether
c:/etc/network/interfaces --> add :
allow-hotplug enp0s26f7u5
iface enp0s26f7u5 inet dhcp
done !
restart pc.
