error message

PyGTK seems to print a lot of errors but still work OK. Are these errors actually preventing the machine from working?

Hi Andy,

I have this when I start linuxcnc via terminal

wwp@cnc ~ $ linuxcnc
LINUXCNC - 2.7.10

Not sure if I need to do something to custom.hal if you could point me in the right direction that would be great.

Thanks

Bill

This is the problem. (and is likely to be related to the error messages mentioned). Your PyVCP panel is not creating a spindle-speed pin.

But that does not seem to be (necessarily) NCam related.

Hi Andy,

This is from terminal now. I do not know how to make the pyvcp create a spindle speed pin. Below is what I have now when I try to start Linuxcnc with nativecam tab embedded. I can start linuxcnc just fine and run everything without nativecam installed which is why I think nativecam is part of the problem. Linuxcnc below is complaining about the custom_postgui.hal file and I have no idea how to fix this. Any help is appreciated.

In the INI, is custom_postgui,hal listed as a HALFILE or a POSTGUI_HALFILE?

It should be the latter, but looks like it might be the former.

Thanks Andy,

I get where the problem is and it is with the custom_postgui file. My problem is I don't know what to do to the file to make it work properly. I'm not opposed to learning but I can't seem to find the information I need to properly write the file.

Bill

Does your INI file reference a PyVCP panel at all?

If you didn't write the custom_postgui HAL file, where did it come from?

Hi Bill,

This is NOT an error message but a GtkWarning as stated and is from pygtk. It was explained in another post but I will explain it again.

It has to do with keyboard accelerator. When you open the File menu, you see NO accelerators like in the Edit menu. I repeat the problem is with 'pygtk'. I created work around for the options where pygtk fails : when you press 'Ctrl+N' it will create a new project, 'Ctrl+O' will open the dialog to select a project on your disk, 'Ctrl+S' open the dialog to save your project. Even if the accelerators do not show.

Everything work as intended and you should NOT worry at all about this warning
