Thanks for the reply. I've been busy with roofing, plumbing, parquet flooring etc but managed to sneak out to the workshop finally.
I've managed to get the spin boxes to appear in an otherwise blank macro screen, which is some form of progress. This was by removing the "notouch=1 -U norun=0 -u" switches from the EMBED_TAB_COMMAND line.
However, the gmoccapy screen is now bigger than the primary display once gladevcp starts up. That doesn't seem to prevent anything new from working otherwise. Presumably I need to correct the screen resolution, possibly by installing better video drivers? It used to fit the screen.
EDIT: the native resolution of the Hanspree HT225 is 1920x1080, same as the second display. No end of playing with display seems to prevent the GUI spilling over beyond the extents of the display(s), other than commenting out the EMBED_TAB line.
My path statement looks like this but perhaps I need to read up on linux path syntax:
SUBROUTINE_PATH = ~/nc_files:~/lathe_macros:~/subroutines:~/python
...where those subfolders are in the folder where the INI file is held.
EDIT: I now see I should use the dot character rather than tilde in linux to denote a relative path. I will try that...
Beyond that, when I run linuxcnc from the command prompt, it reveals a royal mess. Clearly gladevcp isn't happy (see attached log file).
I tried installing python-rsvg but it didn't like that:
murray@LinuxCNC:~$ sudo apt-get install python-rsvg
[sudo] password for murray:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package python-rsvg
There are a few things going on here, to say the least - could you suggest what I focus on in the first instance?
