Problem installing LinuxCNC file linuxcnc_2.9.3_amd64.deb

Category: Installing LinuxCNC

I have an old installation of LinuxCNC made years ago by someone else on my Optiflex-7020 computer. For some reason, nothing works anymore and the guy is unreachable.
I want to start for scratch.
I plugged a blank hard drive (SATA 160Gb) in the computer, then successfully installed Linux Mint 22.1 (Cinnamon 64 bit).
From the web site linuxcnc.org/downloads/ I chose  LinuxCNC package for RTAI kernel 5.4.25  .After right clicking on the file "open with Gdebi", here is the error message that appears <the dependency cannot be satisfied : libboost-python1.74.0-py311.
Need help (I am a beginner with Linux but I can manage with steps and instructions - a bit of experience). What do you suggest? The goal is to run LinuxCNC with a simple interface and have access to basic applications (Firefox, libreOffice etc.).
Thanks in advance.

I installed probe basic and tried to run it, but it gives an error.

When I say "low latency", Ijust mean everything feels 2x faster.

Installing a package with pkg is almost instant, much faster than with stupid apt (it let me down a few to many times for me to fogive it).

The network speed is really good (for ethernet, never tried Wi-Fi); ping latency is absurdly low.

I can test on my FreeBSD server on Monday.

I can test on my GhostBSD laptop tonight.

How would you like me to test latency?

The BSD latency command (preinstalled on Mac!)?

Is the "mobile" thing for setting the top of the workpiece?
This is often done manually, as only you know where the reference surface is.
If your touch-plate is wired into the probe input then you would jog to close to it, then MDI (G38,2) a probe move to it, and then touch-off in the GUI to the known thickness of the sensor.

You could automate this to an extent, assigning a macro to the probe move and the G10 command to set the height above the work.
(the GUI touch-off is generally an automated G10)

Most of us don't have 96GB of ram though.

I am partial to the FireWire 800 on my 2011 iMac.

In Ubuntu, there's a SUPER annyoing bug that causes the whole File program to break sometimes when you eject a disk without unmounting it first.

You must click "unmount", then "eject", or it might just stall; a pain.

Not sure why, but Linux seems to copy files to USB eys wayfaster than Windows or even Mac (admittedly, the Mac coputers i use are from 2011 so not really a fair comparison), especially for USB 3 thunderbolt drives.

lemontart - a call for help with s curve, ui's, and all the cool toys

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

And kudos for sticking with Open Source as it's becoming sickening with all the "Only $17.99 per month" sickness ! :)

 

This is something I hate sooo much. Imagine paying $100,000 for a lidar scanner, and then having to pay $7500 a year for the privilege or reading the files.

I have other motivations here too. As a business, mM might succeed, it might fail, but almost guaranteed in 15 years there wont be any new parts for the machines. The way lemontart is set up, you should always be able to get parts for it, even 50 years from now where were all dead. :P
this kits is kinda a posterchild for right to repair I guess. Buy, build, mod, upgrade with full support, do whatever you like.

Electrical is an issue, cause everything would need certifications etc. So at least for now, I will leave that to the customer out of necessity.

Can i use 5A Sanyo Denki 60mm stepper motors? :)
Jokes aside, very nice project and i do agree with you on leaving electronics out of the kit, to many choices and to many ways to mess up, still you should have a set with everything included whenever you get to that point as there are people that will gladly avoid wiring.

Installing samba

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

I'd thought I'd add samba and windows can be a PITA to setup.
As the underlying OS is Debian bookworm, any guides or how-tos that cover installing samba on Debian will be far far better than asking here.
I would also install gvfs-backends and gvfs-fuse as well. Samba-vfs-modules might be an idea as well.

The roadblocks with samba are all on the Windows side. You need to add a policy that permits the older version of SMB ptotocol.

LinuxCNC + Mesa 7i92TF + Gecko G540. Docs are useless. Help, Please!

Category: PnCConf Wizard

Thanks. I’ll order the switches.

Having a blast is not my goal here. I need a working tool.

To be clear, when I set up the limit switches the software will treat the two Y motors as one? Currently they are being treated as separate axes, which makes it impossible to move the gantry to a home position.

Yes if you set up the home_sequence correctly. Read the link again another 3 times,,,,

yeah. i perhaps worded this badly.

There's 2 components. getting the basic UI all done up, and then what I guess is a really a wizard, with some preset options for recommended hardware such as jss (stepperonline) drives, delta ms300 spindle, etc

Basically I was a more full features wizard that covers modbus and ethercat. haha.

Thanks

Sounds interesting.

Stick the usb drive in, install, select a few options, run.

I'm afraid that is not going to happen unless everybody uses the same tested hardware.
