The image has finally been posted:

github.com/NTULINUX/gentoo_backup/releases/tag/v0.3-alpha

Do not use the tarball directly as it meant to be used with the installer.

For some reason, the axis interface doesn't work due to this bug:

github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/issues/3205

I previously had qtdragon working, however, Gentoo is moving away from Qt5 so all GUIs that depend on Qt5 will not work. I highly recommend using gmoccapy unless you want to help me figure out why axis doesn't work.

I'll be working on an RTAI image soon, but for now, only PREEMPT_RT is supported.

Instructions:

openlunchbox.com/mw19/index.php/HOWTO:_Gentoo_for_LinuxCNC

Please note, I switched the checksum from SHA-1 to BLAKE3/b3sum, so you must have b3sum installed if you are using the installer on Debian. I don't think SystemRescue comes with it either but it is much faster and more secure to use BLAKE3 over SHA-1.

FlexGUI also works, so if you use it, you're in good hands. Turboss and Lcvette (I think it's Lcvette) is working on porting qtpyvcp to pyside6 (Qt6) so qtpyvcp should be working in hopefully the near future.

If you're using Debian, you can start the guide from here:

I understand that for signal wires, those from proximity switches and stepper drivers to controller cards, we should use shielded wires.

I am in Victoria, Australia. I am unable to find just "shielded wire", but there are shielded audio, video, data and microphone wires available, for example:

www.altronics.com.au/cable/shielded/?brw...j8i_PHDnOkyFmM9mya9r

I need shielded wires to connect:

1. CL57T-V1 stepper driver's PUL+, PUL-, DIR+, DIR- to Mesa 7I96S.

This driver is rated 24-48VDC, and 3 output currents setting of 2.8A, 5.6A and 7.0A.

Manual: www.omc-stepperonline.com/download/CL57T_V4.0.pdf

2. NPN NO proximity switches signal output to Mesa 7I96S input.

Switch: www.makerstore.com.au/product/elec-lj2a3/

It is rated DC 6-36V, 300mA.

Would you advise on correct shielded wires to use, please?

-- I have only known of "shield wires" about 3 months ago. So please kindly excuse this very basic question. I've only started learning.

Thank you and best regards,

...behai.

Our turn down under! Cyclone Alfred is barelling down on us (about 350 km away) and is expected to  make a direct hit on Brisbane where I live in the next couple of days. Its been 50 years since the last Cyclone hit causing the 1974 floods in the Brisbane river catchment. Looking forward to  7-10 metre high seas, high winds and  300-400mm of rain coming along with it. Dams are already full at about 98% capacity so its likely to be pretty massive when it hits... 
Glad I live on a hill
It seems pretty surreal, as its not even raining yet!

What worries me about when the educated fight back it's the young & healthy that pay the price.

I'm curious, always have been, mum tells a story about when I was 3 I managed to dismantle a lock and go for a walk to the shops with the dog in tow.
I was lucky my grandfather could do almost anything with his hands, and as young kids are they always want to be like their hero.

They're experts, our superiors, we're just the mugs at the coal face.

I think it's like the guy who only has a hammer in his tool box, everything can be solved by a hammer.

Tho I think the kernel has bigger issues at hand, the whole Rust thing & Linus thinking about stepping down or taking a back seat at the least.

And honestly what machine operator\owner wants rust around their machine ?

Hastrh2o Can you share and example? Thanks a lot. 

Ubuntu 24, so try this
sudo apt update
sudo apt install linuxcnc-uspace
That should install all the dependencies and a fairly recent version of 2.9.4
Wait, i just saw 2.0 ??? What? Why? How? hmmmmm...

What? No swearing and cursing?
Very well worded, thank you Rod.
Makes me wonder, how come none of those there know about LinuxCNC???
We need some marketing, any ideas?

You are right about educated people, but at some point they stop and fight back, and if history is a frame of reference, almost always to late.
As for you, i do not agree at all, just your knowledge of computers sets you way above the "medium".
