linuxcnc_2.9.4-amd64.hybrid.iso cheksum?

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

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 :)

Beware of bad images, they often seem to work, but then weird stuff starts to happen...

FreeBSD's installer checks the hashes of everything before installing, but GNU/Linux installers don't seem to do that, even though they probably should.

I wonder why they don't; after all, it would save everyone's time in the long run.

Well a slightly newer version could work too.

Try whatever came right before "Bookworm", see if it's old enough.
 
Thats the thing. The LinuxCNC version before Bookworm was on a Wheezy ISO. There was no linuxcnc version released on Bullseye (5.10 kernel) which precedes Bookworm. We don't want to hear Ubuntu being suggested. That's bad advice (as is using Wheezy which is akin to suggesting people drive a Model T Ford)


linuxcnc.org/iso/linuxcnc-2.8.0-buster.iso
2.8.x say "Buster", not "Wheezy".

I'm not a huge Ubuntu fan anymore, but with Ubuntu Pro they give security updates basically forever, which could be handy for an old, unsupported GPU.

Also, I had no idea Wheezy was so ancient; it's almost as old as me!

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.

I don't use ChatGPT.

Ever.

You can avoid dealing with network drives by using scp to copy files to (and possibly also from) a server.

For easy access to your server's files, you can use NGINX or Apache to make them accessible over HTTP.

My home server (the machine behind www3.langdonstaab.ca) also serves as a way to move files between computers and store them, as it is always on and available, but I don't use samba or any network drive thing at all, though I did once.

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.

QtPlasmaC make the top row slightly taller?

Category: Plasmac

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:

#material_label,
#velocity_label,
#velocity_show,
#machine_label,
#arc_label,
#file_clear,
#file_open,
#file_reload {
min-height: 24px;
max-height: 24px;
}

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.

Shown at 48px for fun:

A flowchart paranoid (a story about source code documentation)

Category: LinuxCNC Documents

I believe any "novice LinuxCNC coder" can find guidance with this type of "document". I'm also aware that this is a user forum, not a developer meeting place, but... what about "high-end" users

I like the the idea. To me it looks a bit cleaner than I get from doxygen (or may be I do not know how to use it). I am not a developer but I am constantly digging thru source code to see what makes things work (or not).

i got it working :) i installed again after xx reinstall and did the install without internet cable connected, and choose english as my native ""UTC -8 GB""", and then i didn't sudo update after install.
I then rebooted and connected network and run sudo update and installed it .. "ethercat setup and all things works" :):):):):)

The issue is that you need gvfs-fuse & gvfs-backends, and to setup samba as well.

EtherCAT + CiA402 Servo: OP state reached, but axis won’t move (only Following E

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

Since a servo drive is generally very well suited for use as a C-axis — because of its precise positioning capabilities, torque at low speed and built-in encoder feedback — it would be highly beneficial to find a reliable solution for the remaining PV → CSP switching behaviour.If this last issue can be solved in a practical and reproducible way, the same hardware could be used both as a high-speed spindle and as a fully functional C-axis, which would make this setup useful for many other users as well.Any insights or suggestions that could help move in this direction are therefore very welcome.

Yes, the lspci  list shows the only Ethernet is a Intel LM217

5 ms on Intel most likely means some power management is still enabled
maybe EEE or PCIE

Is this running on a laptop?

I have to agree, to thin even for big 24" monitors, and also add an arrow pointing down to show those are menus.

With that board the only option is this:
forum.linuxcnc.org/30-cnc-machines/45079...only-what-now#234532
My advice, buy 3 or 4 of new simple TB6600 drives (the smaller ones do not use the TB6600 but a much better chip, although less powerful) and wire directly to a cut down parallel port cable.
Or get a BOB, makes wiring easier and do not cost much, but some can limit step speed somewhat.

Gmoccapy Raspberry Pi 4/5 OS based on Debian Trixie Tool Table Error?

Category: Gmoccapy

Zdavim!
Doesn't seem so(I don't know). Switched from Raspberry PI to PC and Debian 12 Bookworm and I can edit tool offsets no problem.

Edit: Just tried previous version rpi-5-debian-bookworm-6.12.11-arm64-ext4-2025-01-27-0140.img.xz, and editing tools works!
