I edited my previous post to reflect that it does require running both those lines.
Thank you.

You can configure it as C axis using the caxis or orient component, and work in both functions, i.e. in velocity or position mode.

More Details

You try to upgrade, add a package or install dkms and you get the following:

The error starts here:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.1.0-40-rt-amd64

The error messages are here:

The bad thing is here is here:

Fear not My Little Ones. We have an answer.


as noted by tommy above.


For a belts and braces check


Now everything is good.

For further details you can refer to this thread:

Tommy, thank you very very much for your help. Without it, I wouldn't be able to do anything. I hope all of this will help somebody else.

Thanks again,
Milos

Yes we are

sudo apt upgrade

Nope, not entirely, but something did, so give this a goand post the result.

No problem Tommy, I should be sorry to bug you for all of this.

Does it mean that everything is ok now? There was an error, but after update it looks ok.

Thanks For Info I Fixed It. Followed Directions From LinuxCNC Docs On Referncing Axis Movement And Directions Noted by pommen

Axis direction is the direction the cutter moves through the work on a Cartesian coordinate system. For moving gantry machines it is literal but for table motion machines it can be confusing because it's inverse of what one might expect (if thinking the table is what is traveling in the + or - direction. When the table moves toward the front, the cutter is moving in the y+ direction through the work, when the table moves to the left it is the x+ direction because the cutter moves through the work in the positive direction. So setup your machine accordingly. Home should be 0's, if your switches are on the wrong side you can use the home offset setting to correct.

So you built ethercat master from source? Rebuild with the option --disable-eoe or something that makes it exclude eoe.
The three lines you showed from the syslog says it want to establish eoe network interfaces. Disable that.

Try
sudo apt purge *raspi*
then sudo apt update
-
Sorry, i copied and pasted that line from the post i linked and now i noticed that line will not work as was written there, dang, now i have to find all the posts about it and fix them.
Not my mess, luckily, but i hate dealing with it as it's been dragging for over a year now, all because someone did not clean the build environment before building the ISO.

Tommy, thanks for the instructions.

It is very difficult or impossible to enter a floatingpoint value at once. I can enter only 1 digit, then the rest of the box is filled with zeros. So i have to select each digit and replace, minus can only be entered separately also. The input for variable works much better.
