In my experience, I have found that changes you make in the GUI will not be saved if you do not use the file/quit to exit. I know for sure the the machine position is not saved.

Does anybody know how to install EtherCAT support on Debian 13? linuxcnc-ethercat is not in the repositories yet. Also the EtherLab repositories do not show Debian_13 yet, so I guess I just have to wait until things become available, but perhaps somebody has already been playing with it. 

Awesome. Thanks so much. I'll give it try.

Yes, I think you’re right. I haven’t been able to check the machine again yet since it’s not mine – I’m just trying to help out a friend – but it probably does have a brake, considering the previous controller was only 2.5 axes.
Now, what I’d like to ask for some advice on: if I want to keep the option of adding more expansions in the future and also a control pendant, would the 7i74 be a good choice? I see that it’s mentioned as a supported configuration in the 6i25 manual, so it seems like it could give me more I/O and flexibility.

I am putting together a complete,new, backup computer for my machine. (after a lightning storm took out my previous computer.)

I downloaded Linux-2.7.14 wheezy.iso  and used rufus.ie to make a usb image.
The new computer won't go past the boot screen. I fiddled around with the boot order etc but still no go.

I downloaded the latest version Debian 12 bookworm preempt-rt iso, made a usb image, and it starts right up to the install screen.

Is there something I need to do to make the older version start? I don't want to upgrade to the current version.because I would have to change a lot of things in my configuration.

I am running my previous backup computer currently. I suppose that I could clone the hard drive , or something like that.
