Installing Linuxcnc on Debian Bookworm was created by rodw
Debian Bookworm is now officially released! Linuxcnc is now available in the Bookworm Repositories.

Here is a nice video of how to install Debian Bookworm I found over the weekend.


Grab the net install .ISO he mentions from  cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd....0-amd64-netinst.iso
This is the one I recommend to use.

When asked to choose a  graphical environment (eg. a desktop), I recommend you choose XFCE as you could experience issues with other desktops. If you are not using XFCE, do not ask for support on this thread!

Once Bookworm is installed, follow the Linuxcnc Getting Linuxcnc document for V 2.9 here
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/getting-start...etting-linuxcnc.html

Mods might like to Sticky this and review other sticky threads in this section. as some can be depreciated.

I did the Bookworm install as per the 2.9 docs, and it went real smooth. Have done it several times to be honest.

The internet connection is automatic during the install.

The problem comes when I use the internet ethernet connection to connect to the Mesa card instead, and thus I lose my internet connection.
I use the instructions in this thread to set up the connection to the Mesa card and all goes well there.

So now I need my internet connection back for updates, etc, and I am completely stumped on how to do this.
I have a USB to Ethernet adapter which I know works well, but have no idea how to set it up to get an internet connection.

Good feedback. If you plug your wifi dongle in with a bit of luck it should appear at the top right so just connect it and it should sort out the rest.

It seemed to recognise the device and connect to it but the funny thing is it came up with a 2nd "Wired Connection 1".

Opened a browser but could not get any internet connection.

Hey Rod,

good news.

I spent a load of time last night Googling for solutions, and found "apt-offline" as a potential workaround if it worked.

Turn on the plasma PC this morning to do that, and what do you know, as soon as I turn the PC on I have an internet connection.
So it seems the answer is to simply reboot with the USB-ethernet adapter in the PC and it automatically configures it.
Yesterday though there's no way it would connect by plugging in the USB-ethernet connector into the already running PC.

@rodw

Noticed that the download of the 6.3 rt kernel is no longer working from google drive. No matter what day, ip, device, browser or OS I try from I just get a timeout error when downloading the linux-image file. Luckily I had the file already on another device. I noticed this about a week ago and just tried again with the same errors.

I could use the image but I figured you should know about any issues since this is linked in the official documentation of how to install LinuxCNC. Attached is what I get when I try to download that file from 2 different machines in Chrome and Firefox as well as from 3 different public IP's.

I suspect there are other factors at play with your connection to Google Drive.
IN the same folder, another document lists the commands to build it from scratch.
The 6.4 commands are untested.
