Once again you have a more in depth, I can't think of the word.......I don't think I'm well and may not have long left before I'm not much good to anyone.
Th point I was trying to make is that building & running Linuxcnc is achievable on, I'll say most< Linux platforms. Even Puppy Linux had an ISO for Linuxcnc.

You've done something terribly wrong,
1; Didn't use RPi Imager to setup the settings
2: Choose to ignore the setup dialogue on the first boot.
In both instances you should have been able to setup a user name & password, the password for your account is the one that you use for sudo.
Both gparted and synaptic work when setup following the advice above.

imp can be replaced with (this module was removed from the version of python3 on trixie)
sudo apt install python3-zombie-imp

To go any further I think you will need to ask whether ProbeBasic and pyqtvcp has Trixie support.

I don't think that's true.

The NIST designed if for POSIX systems.

I understand, but I installed GParted and Synaptic, and both require a password to log in. I use both because I have an SSD, and Synaptic for other tasks. I set a password in raspi-config, but it doesn't work to log in to these applications.

First of all I recommended to use the Rpi Imager to setup username, locale, and the other things needed.
If you didn't do this you should have gone through the setup screens to configure things.
This would have given you a user name.
This image is NOT LIKE the former images, it is based on the infrastructure that build the raspios images. The idea was to make it easier to setup the image and not have a preconfigured username and password.

Perhaps I wasn't more specific, but the error message indicates that it can't find the imp module.Then I send a screenshot of the error.From what I've read now, it seems to be due to something related to the Python version.

If they do it now, I use it on several PIs with Debian 12.

I haven't set up any user name.

When will GitHub start building versions for 2.10/master branch? It really is necessary.

It shouldn't be necessary.... 

But it _should_ already work, except that Sid isn't building right now so the process fails. 

Trial run: github.com/andypugh/linuxcnc-petter/actions

nema17 ha! this is a 300lb machine, nema17 wont be moving it.

200w ac servo is fine for the z. I wouldn't go smaller power. A nema23 stepper would work, it would just be very slow, probably not getting past 1000rpm before the torque falls off too much.

Been using LinuxCNC for years without problem. Now, Linuxcnc loads but xcarve gives and error. Last line before load stops says it can't find network card. Is it referring to my wifi card or my mesa card? Don't know why it would need a network card.

Can i use 5A Sanyo Denki 60mm stepper motors?
 
Of course you can. Plenty of ethercat stepper drivers out there. even 2,3 and 4 motor controls in the single driver...



links to the multi kits with ethercat?

The only hitch on servo choice is there's only 100mm room for the Z motor. A 200w modern servo with a brake fits. a lot of others will be too long.

Rtelligent and Leadshine have ethercat dual motor stepper drives. example www.rtelligentglobal.com/ethercat-stepper-drive/  and www.leadshine.com/product/2EM3E-522-14-15-990-69.html
If space is an issue, there is always NEMA 17! there are 3 and 4 motor options I've seen recently but may not have been ethercat

This is what pisses me off.

I've spent quite a few weeks working on this, with no input from anyone, no one bothering to lend a hand (testing when I gave links and requested some one to test), and when an issue does come up all I get " I installed probe basic and tried to run it, but it gives an error." with no description of the error.

Can you understand why I may be a little bit terse. If you can't be bothered to give any indication of what the error is or anything like that I'm not going to waster time trying to pull information out of you bit by bit.

I'm not even sure that the probe basic/qtpyvcp team even support distributions for the Pi. They never used to.

Most people expect to be able to install packages just usually apt or apt-get, as far as I know github doesn't provide the resources to host a git repo.

no but a script could copy new versions from git releases to the existing LinuxCNC Deb repository
