newbie too far into the deep end trying to convert an mr1 was created by ashford
after a long struggle to get a debian system working together with wifi, network, linuxcnc and rt kernel on a newer n100 intel nuc-like computer, im finally at the get linuxcnc woking with my setup phase. i havent tinkered in linux for about 10 years, after linuxmint that is not really needed anymore for basic use cases.
i downloaded this configuration for linuxcnc and mr1. github.com/alexphredorg/mr1 . i can't get it to work it errors out and quits, i don't know enough to figure out what is missing or broken. ill get a log later when im back with it.
my current software setup is
base 2.9.4 iso, added driver for usb wifi, installed software listed on the readme.txt in the home folder and mods from the intall guide found in the github link above relating to mesa. nothing more kept it as close to stock as possible before swapping to newer kernel etc.
hardware is a 7i96s. i can ping it and setup the most basic axis config with only xyz and spindle and can run the included g-code(no i/o hooked up).
most of the sims work, the ones from installing from the list in the home folder do not work.
im not sure if i need to sent something to the mesa card, i have not found any instructions or mention of this, or if something needed is missing from the enviroment.
as for the electrical end i should be good maybee ssome questions on specifics when i get there.

Its unlikely you can take a random config and make it work on your hardware.
Use pncconf and reference the example for key parameters
QTdragon is a fairly advanced GUI.
I recommend getting your machine up and running using axis before attempting to install qtdragon

its not a random config. it is the exact machine i have, i based the purchase of mesa hardware because it has been done and the config exists. if it didn't i would of chosen a masso g3, mach3 or acorn based upgrade.
currently it is just a bare card on the desktop next to the computer, i want to get that end done before i start making the controls box.

Seems to be the error.
I would take rodw's advice for a first time installation:
"I recommend getting your machine up and running using axis before attempting to install qtdragon"
For specific qtvcp issues, you might ask in the qtvcp section:
