It looks like a copy of a directory that has copied files and folders rather than links.
There are a few files/folders that need fixing.
What type of installation do you have, Run In Place or Package?

It's from the official debian buster 10 release (new pc). After I installed linuxcnc, I admit I copied in my machine's old files. I guess I did it too early?

How did you install LinuxCNC?

This time I did what it said initially in the Getting Linuxcnc doc.

So, it seems it is a package installation.

You can copy/paste them.

It wasn’t until very recently that I learned how to paste in a Linux terminal window without right clicking the mouse:

ctrl+shift+v

I learned in the DOS days :blush:

Similarly in Linux going back one directory is “CD ..” and not “CD..”

It’s the little things

I'll have to try that in the morning. Need to drive to my dad's and check up on him.
Thanks

At a guess, you need to find the file M190 (however Phill does it) and change the permissions to execute on it as well.
