Error when trying to open Gmoccapy confiuration.

Hi,
I am moving an existing working configuration to a new computer running Debian 12 and a newly downloaded version of LinuxCNC.
The Gmoccapy sims open fine, but I get an error attempting to open my configuration.
The message appears to reference Python, so I have attached copies of the .py files from the configuration Python folder and a copy of the report (linuxcnc.txt). I have also attached a copy of the .hal and.ini files in case they are relevant.

I wonder if perhaps there is a mismatch of the old Python files and the new LinuxCNC?

I would be most grateful if someone could please take a look as this is out of my depth!

Many thanks,
Dougal.

There is something terribly wrong there, buffer overflow detected, several segmentation faults, and multiple core dumps.
Try runing one of the included configs for parallel port from config picker, see if that works with Axis gui.

Yes. I chose parport/stepper config. That opened fine.

Seems to be a problem with python2/gtk2 vs python3/gtk3. With version 2.9 Linuxcnc no longer supports python2/gtk2 so  'stdglue.py' , 'probe_screen.py'/'probe_screen.glade' and possibly 'spindle_button.glade' would need to be updated.


[Edit]

This might be of interest:
github.com/verser-git/probe_screen_v2.9

Thanks, I will have a look at those lines tonight.
Also, Tommylight's reply appears to raise concerns re the parallel port. Is the below possibly relevant?

• Make sure LinuxCNC does not prevent the Linux parport_pc driver from loading. Older versions of LinuxCNC would blacklist parport_pc in /etc/modprobe.d/linuxcnc.conf (or /etc/modprobe.d/emc2.conf for even older versions of LinuxCNC). Comment out any lines in either of those files that looks like this:
  install parport_pc /bin/true
• Make sure your Hal configuration does not have loadrt probe_parport in any .hal file.
  
  And possibly this is also a problem now? 
  "Joints_axes updates
  When you update LinuxCNC, the update_ini script will automatically convert your user configurations. If the script detects that your configuration needs to be updated, it will offer to edit your user files and create an updated configuration. "
  
  If there are multiple more problems, maybe I should have/still could try to update my old computer Linuxcnc (not sure of version offhand but c.2007) before copy over the linuxcnc folder?

Edit: I did originally consider updating linuxcnc first but believe my version of Debian is too old for that, so probably not a route I can go down.

And thanks for the pointer to the probe update.

Sorry for jumping in so late. print "change_prolog: Toolchanger soft fault %d" % int(self.params[5601])

That is The main error. Several files are from python using print "" instead of print("") as function.
You will need to update all old python files to fit the python 3 needs.

I suggest to uncomment the embedded taps in your INI file and try starting your config.
If it starts, try with one embedded tab and check again, repair the bugs and go on.

I have now parenthesized print. in stdglue.py and that error has disappeared from the log.

The python error now showing looks like a similar error regarding exception. I have added parentheses to the except lines but must still have the syntax wrong as the same error persists.

I have attached the error log and the stdglue.py file and would be most grateful for some more help!

   
 

Maybe a look at the current version of 'stdglue' helps:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...n-stdglue/stdglue.py

One difference stands out immediately.
My file uses syntax
" except Exception, e"
New version uses
"except Exception as e"

I'm beginning to think that I would be better to start with a new configuration. As you point out, probe screen has an updated version. That would just leave the spindle speed buttons to fix......
