There should be a link to the github page on the linuxcnc.org page too.

linuxcnc.org/2025/10/26/LinuxCNC-2.9.7/

Saying that the debs are available from the "The LinuxCNC GitHub repository" is not as helpful as a link to that page.

Why not add a simple hyperlink to github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/releases/tag/v2.9.7?

You could try calling Mesa on the phone?

store.mesanet.com

The phone number is right at the top of the page.

I will try that... ang give news

Plese don't post duplicate topics.

I understand they are in different languages, but still.

We also now have packages being built by Github.

Bonjour. J'ai une ancienne installation de LinuxCNC, réalisée il y a des années par une autre personne sur mon ordinateur Optiflex-7020. Malheureusement, plus rien ne fonctionne et cette personne est injoignable.

Je souhaite donc repartir de zéro en testant le tout sur un autre disque dur installe temporairement.

J'ai branché un disque dur vierge (SATA 160 Go) sur l'ordinateur, puis j'ai installé Linux Mint 22.1 (Cinnamon 64 bits) avec succès.

Sur le site web linuxcnc.org/downloads/, j'ai choisi le paquet LinuxCNC pour le noyau RTAI 5.4.25.

Après avoir cliqué avec le bouton droit sur le fichier et sélectionné « Ouvrir avec Gdebi », le message d'erreur suivant s'affiche : « Erreur, La dépendance ne peut être satisfaite : libboost-python1.74.0-py311 ».

J'ai besoin d'aide (je suis débutant sous Linux, mais je peux me débrouiller avec des instructions – j'ai un peu d'expérience).

Que me conseillez-vous ?
Mon objectif est d'exécuter LinuxCNC avec une interface simple et d'avoir accès aux applications de base (Firefox, LibreOffice, etc.). Merci d'avance.

I never liked Mint, I'm not exactly sure why.

Perhaps it brought back bad memories of Windows (yuck).

Is it currently functional and/or stable?

If not, how not so?

Don't neglect the possibility of simply connecting the same physical wire to both a uart and and encoder phase.

Is PNCConf a solution?

What is the error?

You did not specify any fields in which you could not input data.

Do you mean the angular velocity stuff?

Try rebooting and making a new config from scratch, could work.

I have an old installation of LinuxCNC made years ago by someone else on my Optiflex-7020 computer. For some reason, nothing works anymore and the guy is unreachable.
I want to start for scratch.
I plugged a blank hard drive (SATA 160Gb) in the computer, then successfully installed Linux Mint 22.1 (Cinnamon 64 bit).
From the web site linuxcnc.org/downloads/ I chose  LinuxCNC package for RTAI kernel 5.4.25  .After right clicking on the file "open with Gdebi", here is the error message that appears <the dependency cannot be satisfied : libboost-python1.74.0-py311.
Need help (I am a beginner with Linux but I can manage with steps and instructions - a bit of experience). What do you suggest? The goal is to run LinuxCNC with a simple interface and have access to basic applications (Firefox, libreOffice etc.).
Thanks in advance.

I installed probe basic and tried to run it, but it gives an error.

When I say "low latency", Ijust mean everything feels 2x faster.

Installing a package with pkg is almost instant, much faster than with stupid apt (it let me down a few to many times for me to fogive it).

The network speed is really good (for ethernet, never tried Wi-Fi); ping latency is absurdly low.

I can test on my FreeBSD server on Monday.

I can test on my GhostBSD laptop tonight.

How would you like me to test latency?

The BSD latency command (preinstalled on Mac!)?

Is the "mobile" thing for setting the top of the workpiece?
This is often done manually, as only you know where the reference surface is.
If your touch-plate is wired into the probe input then you would jog to close to it, then MDI (G38,2) a probe move to it, and then touch-off in the GUI to the known thickness of the sensor.

You could automate this to an extent, assigning a macro to the probe move and the G10 command to set the height above the work.
(the GUI touch-off is generally an automated G10)

Most of us don't have 96GB of ram though.

I am partial to the FireWire 800 on my 2011 iMac.

In Ubuntu, there's a SUPER annyoing bug that causes the whole File program to break sometimes when you eject a disk without unmounting it first.

You must click "unmount", then "eject", or it might just stall; a pain.

Not sure why, but Linux seems to copy files to USB eys wayfaster than Windows or even Mac (admittedly, the Mac coputers i use are from 2011 so not really a fair comparison), especially for USB 3 thunderbolt drives.

This is something I hate sooo much. Imagine paying $100,000 for a lidar scanner, and then having to pay $7500 a year for the privilege or reading the files.

I have other motivations here too. As a business, mM might succeed, it might fail, but almost guaranteed in 15 years there wont be any new parts for the machines. The way lemontart is set up, you should always be able to get parts for it, even 50 years from now where were all dead.
this kits is kinda a posterchild for right to repair I guess. Buy, build, mod, upgrade with full support, do whatever you like.

Electrical is an issue, cause everything would need certifications etc. So at least for now, I will leave that to the customer out of necessity.
