Thanks for the info, nice to see a Vendor have some proper support for Linux.

This is mini pc fujistu Q920
i disable about everything in the bios.
Still nothing
 
This is my current boot parameters with grub.Edit: I put linuxcnc on miniatx motherboard with intel i5 4460 and realtek RTL8168 ethernet.
 

Why did windows dominate the market?

The PC clone, which allowed many vendors to get in, sell at competitive prices and with PCs coming pre installed with Windows it was a no brainer. Old self proclaimed Dr\Farmer Gates was pretty aggressive.
TBH it took Linux a while to have a polished Desktop. A lot of misinfo about having to be a programmer to use Linux, mostly coming from a half generation that weren't aware MSDOS was command line only for many years. I think it's only us guys old enough to grow White Whiskers remembers early Linux and would have run it on a 486.
Until the wide spread adoption of the internet any security issues weren't exposed as they would be post internet, yes there were viruses around, but their source was either from physical media or BBS's.
As for Banks, most of the behind the scenes stuff would of been carried by ancient IBM systems, or Unix. My old ma remembers working in banks where one machine would take up a whole room (1970 or there about), living Down Under the aircon was great in summer.
They are quite a few local government locales in Europe & South America that have broke away from Windows.
The whole Third World Infrastructure is probably run by the West's Ewaste running pirated copies of XP, I don't think anyone is desperate enough to run Win2k unless it's a machine that has no connection to the outside world inside a Cold War bunker. Word has it that Win2k could catch the common cold from a user.

Betamax was superior to VHS, but VHS won out. The World's an imperfect place, I'm sure the Open BSD & Net BSD guys laugh at us Linux users. I wont talk to much about the Emacs \ Vi (Vim) flame wars, alot of good people perished.

Dang it, i was not aware of that mess, so yeah
DO NOT USE THE WEBSITE warpinator dot com
Use GitHUB
For Linux it is

Ah, bummer, sorry to hear that, hopefully it's repairable! Keep us posted!

I'm sorry to say that I have to pause my efforts on this chapter with elliptical faults. As I tried yesterday to get new corrected lines in my Hal and INI to try out what helps (the day before yesterday, I tried to change the Y axis to stepgen.03 what did'nt work, I did'nt change wires but changed the plugs from stepgen.01 to stepgen.03) and I found that stepgen.01 was dead. I changed then stepgen.01 to stepgen.02 and motor-01 was working correctly.
So, I have to send my MESA card to a friend to repair the burned stepgen chip, this will last several days.
Meanwhile, I will consider if I could change to my free 7i96S, the problem there will be spindle settings and several other things to adapt.

It shouldn't be the OS it should be the version of Liunxcnc installed.

What happens if you upgrade the version of Linuxcnc on the current install. I only use axis.

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.

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...

I still stand by my removed comment.
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
