Might be best to read the github page regarding some sites using warpinator.com domain.

Can all of you using any other Linux than Mint try to install and use warpinator ?
It comes standard with last two major versions of Mint, no setup, it just works for network sharing, and pretty sure i read somewhere it also works on windoze..
Sorry, i forgot about this as i always unistall it from my ISO's.
Edit:
As pointed by "unknown" below
DO NOT USE THE WEBSITE warpinator dot com
Use GitHUB
For Linux it is

The thing is MacOS and windows only have one file manager to deal with. There's numerous file managers within Linux that are available and each has there own implementation.
And samba shares can be mounted in a variety of ways as well. an entry in fstab (and this can either be a auto or non-auto mount), via the commend line, via the address bar in a file manager......and a hundred other I've probably forgotten over the years.
And going back to XFCE or anything DE for that matter, you've probably noticed that each distro will have a different set of panels, menu implementations or what not. So XFCE on one distro will look different on onther, same for MATE Mint & Debian have a wholly different look for the menus & panels. What this will come down to is the team or person that builds the distro.
The reason the Linuxcnc desktop looks so basic is due to no customisations being made. It's just the way the package manager installs it. And when the builder of the distro does their mods they have to make sure that the mods stay between package upgrades. So there is a lot of work. This was really brought home when I was building the new RPi images. Most of the XFCE programs have their defaults set via xml files under the /etc/xdg directory, so the basic default look and feel come from those files. Then again DE are quite configurable, depends how much time the end user want to change it and how much time.

Now Muzzer:
With regards to file sharing, since I'm working within a Linux environment, I just use sftp to mount directories on other machines, in the context of Linux in the machine you want to connect has an ssh serving running there's no setup needed, as long as gvfs-backends & gvfs-fuse are installed. These locations can be bookmarked within the Linux file manager. And of course the workhorse server has NFS shares setup.
Now Thunar does have a plugin that lets you create samba shares on your Linux machine without needing root access, but of course there will have to be an instance of a samba server running, unfortunately it's a little hit and miss according to reports on the internet.
Funnily enough the only distro I've found to have samba working out of the box was when I use to use Puppy Linux, but that was prior to Windows 8,10,11.
Whilst I haven't tried it, a suitable ssh server for windows may give the same functionality.

There's also the option of using a domestic router to work as an intermediary samba server between windows and Linux.......Tho I think some may use a very early SMB protocol.

Apple's simple command+k shortcut to connect to a samba share is really nice, I wonder why Linux distros can't seem to achieve the same thing; it is absolutely possible, I guess they just never thought of it.

You are probably to young to recall
\\192.168.1.123\$C
Back when Knoppix was rising, you do that on a Linux PC, and it will show you the full C drive on the windows PC with that IP address, with full permission, without asking for password, be it on win98SE, winME, w2k or XP.
Oh yeah, that was with NO sharing enabled on the win PC.
Fun days.... and reboot and shutdown remotely any win pc...

And I'm very sorry to say but you admins are weak and spineless to allow this buffoon to carry on the way he does.
It's a shame the CoC doesn't cover giving advice to members that is completely useless, a waste of time and potentially to the point of causing harm.
But no, the main point is not to hurt anyone feelings or to cause offense.
Who is going to have the intensal fortitude and read Langdon's the riot act. I tried in the beginning to guide him in the right direction but he would appear not to care.
You admins need to take action, I'm sick to effing death in having to make his posts an issue in the hope something will be done to rectify his behaviour. Until then I will keep raising this issue, or you can just ban me. I don't care much, Ive lost faith in every single one on the Admins on this site. You aren't doing a single thing to protect other forum members, especially new ones from his nonsense. At this juncture you all disgust me.

I can only speak for myself, but I just recognize him for the bored high school student that he is. I feel bad for new people but imagine they quickly realize his replies are virtually useless and very likely the regurgitation of misguided ChatGPT responses.

I stand by my previous advice to not feed the under-bridge dwelling creatures, and ignore him until he moves on, gets himself banned, or discovers better things to do with his time. But it’s a bit pointless for us to block him as he, like you, will probably just make a new username and start over. Trust me, it’s been discussed.

You have something he does not, which is the ability to contribute meaningfully to this community (I remember the Beaglebrainz ISO’s very well). So I ask you to just ignore him, let his mindless comments stand for themselves, and don’t let it affect your integrity.

Look when it comes down to it I do know better, but fail to act that way.
And yes there are sometimes that I know I shouldn't even come on the internet.
Part of of it might stem from being on the wrong end of someone not doing what they should and being left with a lot of nagging physical pain for the past 30 odd years. Plus coming from the rail, civil & construction industry I've seen what happens when people give out bad and advice.

Ethercat running again with the first set of IO daam nice thx all

How can I increase the height of the top row of QtPlasmaC? 

Sure, custom stylesheets make this possible. You can change basically anything about the UI from a styling standpoint that you like.

You can create a file called qtplasmac_custom.qss in your machine config file.

Then you can add the following stanza:


Change 24px to whatever you like.

Here is the blurb from the user manual in case you find it helpful: linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/plasma/qtpl...#_add_a_custom_style

If you want to get a idea of what the names of the items are you could open up this file:

github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...plasmac/qtplasmac.ui

There's also some other stuff lurking around that can be changed that you'll have to have a search on the qtvcp manuals for. The preview window mouse options, colors, etc. Most things are available at this point.

THX all i was going insane on all the problems i had also because i have been running anything before with no problems. .. I did learn dont update anything that works lol ... i am quiet sure that some of the problems i had was either bad image or software fault

I believe any "novice LinuxCNC coder" can find guidance with this type of "document". I'm also aware that this is a user forum, not a developer meeting place, but... what about "high-end" users

I like the the idea. To me it looks a bit cleaner than I get from doxygen (or may be I do not know how to use it). I am not a developer but I am constantly digging thru source code to see what makes things work (or not).

i got it working i installed again after xx reinstall and did the install without internet cable connected, and choose english as my native ""UTC -8 GB""", and then i didn't sudo update after install.
I then rebooted and connected network and run sudo update and installed it .. "ethercat setup and all things works"

The issue is that you need gvfs-fuse & gvfs-backends, and to setup samba as well.

Since a servo drive is generally very well suited for use as a C-axis — because of its precise positioning capabilities, torque at low speed and built-in encoder feedback — it would be highly beneficial to find a reliable solution for the remaining PV → CSP switching behaviour.If this last issue can be solved in a practical and reproducible way, the same hardware could be used both as a high-speed spindle and as a fully functional C-axis, which would make this setup useful for many other users as well.Any insights or suggestions that could help move in this direction are therefore very welcome.

Yes, the lspci  list shows the only Ethernet is a Intel LM217

5 ms on Intel most likely means some power management is still enabled
maybe EEE or PCIE

Is this running on a laptop?

I have to agree, to thin even for big 24" monitors, and also add an arrow pointing down to show those are menus.

With that board the only option is this:
forum.linuxcnc.org/30-cnc-machines/45079...only-what-now#234532
My advice, buy 3 or 4 of new simple TB6600 drives (the smaller ones do not use the TB6600 but a much better chip, although less powerful) and wire directly to a cut down parallel port cable.
Or get a BOB, makes wiring easier and do not cost much, but some can limit step speed somewhat.
