Complete HOW-TO Linux Mint 18.1 32/64 RTAI or PREEMPT with RIP install or deb

Although computer is not bad, latency is huge

Glad you got it going!

You will need to start a new thread to configure linuxcnc please. I would like to keep this thread just for the install portion only.

Is this on a VM? Because
You are not using a real-time kernel at the moment.... the "non-realtime" indicates this.

Did you make your kernel fully Preemptible as instructed in the how-to?


The reason your ini/hal is failing is because it is looking for a paraport #0 and can not find it.

You might need to reconfigure grub to choose the right kernel.

What does uname -a say?

4.9.4-rt2 is the kernel you are using there right?

Seems to me you when you built the kernel you did not select the fully preemtable option. That is a common latency when you fail to select it. No worries; just build anther one and install it on the same machine. You can easily switch between the two.

kernel is 4.9.4-rt2 and on real PC, not in VM

I'll give a try again.

can you post your uname-a printout as asked by andy please?

EDIT: Typo!

hereafter enclosed

sorry: I had to edit my post:

I was needing the uname -a

You can just paste it in the forum...

here is uname -a attached
