Good thought but its a laptop an older Dell no video card other than built in Video
don't know if it matters but password login error screen says... "your password is incorrect try again" cancel / log in boxes ...... nothing else and the same thing over and over when entering the password. I was super careful in the setup of these areas during setup
Tks

Hi Cmorley

I've tested it some more, and I don't need to touch "def external_offset_state_changed(self, data):"; it works fine without any changes. I don't know why I had the problem before, but the stop button is still a problem.
To stop the spindle, I have to press stop a second time.

If you see GRUB but after only blank screen, this may be graphic card issue. In this case try apply nomodeset kernel parameter at grub screen (there are many tutorials on internet). 

Thanks 4 the info
but I have not been able to get to the terminal yet
cant get past name and password screen yet.
have done 4-5 fresh install of the OS. they all hang up at the same place name and password screen
Thanks

Yes i use free ai to generate the single moduls of the vismach model. Then i bring all together. Thats why the model is in 90 angles..

Do you find wrong stuff in the ini or hal???

Thanks

For autologin you can do this, just after completing installation:


For auto login to Debian open a terminal:

sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Uncomment the following and add your user name, be sure to scroll far enough down to get past the comments sections.:

autologin-user=yourusername
autologin-user-timeout=0
 

Good Day: Adam
"I don't Like it" I just want it to work as prescribed which it does not seem to do when I can not even get past the login screen when i entered the password and user name in the OS install. oh ya I am a old man as U say and still building computers and doing installs from scratch.
have a good day

Cool

You are welcomed, always.

No double and triple posting, stick to one topic, it makes a mess following what was already answered.

As an old man, you should remember mainframe computers occupying several large racks that were operated by many people from many terminals. Linux is derived from Unix, Unix was developed in 1969... This is why in Linux you have to use passwords (and also a complicated permission system). You can't escape it, you have to like it...

ZX81, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 16, Atari 520STFM, XT PC, Toshiba Laptop with EL orange screen, and the first i have built Pentium 1 200MHz.
Many more there, some i still have in working condition, see my channel on youtube:

You can install ncam and lathemacros together, but only lathemacros will works properly.
The cause is use the same names for different subroutines:(I removed results not matter.)
You can recognize ncam's files by "(author : Fernand Veilleux)" comment, thats lack in lathemacro's.
Ncam (Python 3.0)) works properly and generates good g-code, but LinuxCNC uses subroutines that found first... 
This causes horrible and confusing errors, like :But actually there is no error in ncam.ngc, but only wrong subroutine file is used...

The solution is very simple (rename subroutines and change some lines in python sources), but this must be done by the authors, not by users...

Good day to you Tom
Just curious what was your very first computer and year you got it, and did you build it from scratch.?

Thank's Todd
I have double and triple checked all of that. very aware of the upper/lower case thing in Linux. installed 3 different keyboards thinking of that first off. I still think Linux may be the path for me if I can just make all the paths come to gather for what i have in mind to end up with.
thanks
