Mini wannabe datron build

Sounds like you did not tick a gui when you installed. See my instructions  9-10
docs.google.com/document/d/1jeV_4VKzVmOI.../edit?usp=share_link
There is a fairly easy fix
Select XFCE and install it, reboot into a gui
 

I think part of the issue is my network doesnt work during the install.

sudo "command not found"

hmm

Somehow get network for the install as the image I shared is a network install, just the minimum.

Yes, it was network. didnt respect my wifi card or something. i swapped to the network the mesa card was one and it all went fine.

thanks


now to install linuxcnc...

linuxcnc installed, starting on probe basic based on instructions... got this error

dpkg: warning: 'ldconfig' not found in PATH or not executable
dpkg: warning: 'start-stop-daemon' not found in PATH or not executable
dpkg: error: 2 expected programs not found in PATH or not executable
Note: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin



 

oook, next error.

cp: cannot create regular file '/home/root//Pictures/': Not a directory
dpkg: error processing package python3-probe-basic (--install):
installed python3-probe-basic package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
Processing triggers for fontconfig (2.14.1-4) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
python3-probe-basic

ok, seems to be installed, but it errors if i try to open linuxcnc with the probe basic ui. it also does not provide me with that as an option in pncconf.

so this is the error starting up.

Means you are running as ROOT, not a user, so some stuff will not work properly, pretty sure LinuxCNC also does not run as root.
Get the new ISO, with GUI, while installing if it asks for a root password, do not enter anything, just move on, it will ask for a new user name and password.

you are about 12 posts late . we are well past that, now im trying to figure out why probe basic isnt starting.
