Thanks that fixed it. Unsure what exactly happened, but happy to have it fixed

What about removing the package from the image file?

The installer supresses it and its not installed but as soon as there is an apt update, it comes back. Very annoying. This was present in the original release of Debian Bookworm and it was fixed in the first update but the update were never pushed to the Debian Builder we use to make the iso (which is what we should use to follow the Deban way)

Hey there,
im hare to look for some help on getting my Servos to work. Which currently ignore my endstops and would "crash" into them if i wouldnt stop
The Servos are Stepperonline A6 400W Ethercat ones, combined with an Beckhoff EK1100 and some IO Modules.
I also got the absolute encoder cables, but so far thought to just use them like a "stepper drop-in" and then if working, to go the next step and do the "integrated homing" way.

I just setup everything i think i will need:
- installing the Ethercat
- installing the cia402 driver

So hopefully theres people here who might be able to "get me on the right way" with my Servo setup and explain me my mistakes.

2.9 pre is years old and buggy. You can't depend on it. You really should upgrade to 2.9.4 by following the steps in the Getting Linuxcnc docs or adopt Debian Trixie pre-release as it should be out as the official Debian release next month.

I've been busy on this machine. Got my B axis alive.
I will throw some pictures up of the other progress tomorrow.

In other news, my new pc build runs much better generally and I don't have the real-time delay error warnings anymore. And I've been busy making mechanical progress on my machine.

I've been messing with this again. I have an intel 2 ports pcie lan card that I tried to use. I got the ip address from ip a command and put it in the etc/ethercat.config. for some reason only the lan on the motherboard works even with the address changed. But the servos were crunchy sounding and it was disconnecting randomly. I put it back to the correct address for the motherboard port and its smooth. I have not been able to run ethercats on the pci card.

Got the saw back home. She's definitely rough. Good news is it looks possible to make the saw miter in the opposite direction by removing one support bar. The way the shuttle seems to work is it has a ball screw with a limit switch on it to control the length that the hydraulic retracts. Once it hits the limit switch it stops the hydraulic from further feeding forward. I may rework the vices as they currently have a very shallow depth of hydraulic travel. The bearings in the saw wheels feel sloppy but smooth. In the morning I am pressure washing the whole machine and may try to put power to it to see if anything still works. If I can reuse hydraulic pump and band saw motor that would be awesome!
