Crash

Hi Guys,
Looking for some help getting my table back up and running. Table is homebuilt running Linux 2.8.4 with a mesa 7i76E. I had no issues for the last year and half however today i tried to cut some simple 4x4 square plates in the plasmac extras section which I've used before but it would not load the g code or file. I managed to load previous saved files that i cut before with no issues. One thing i had noticed was the system had been connected to the internet which I'm not sure how this could have happened because i never connect this system to the internet, at least i thought. After disconnecting again I cannot load anything without error messages and i noticed sheetcam will not open when linux cnc is running. I have tried searching a fix but I am afraid of making things worse. I am not very good with any of the programming or technical issues and the friend i had helping with that is no longer with us. I attached a pic of the screen with messages that came up. This is when i first open it

Upload the pictures here, not on plasmaspider.

   
Sorry about that. Ive attached pics here.

Typical of Python, the message is absolutely true and absolutely useless...
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '' means that you are trying to use an empty string as an int variable, but it doesn't tell you where that empty string came from.
Of course, you can look for the cause for a long time and finally find that, for example, the disk is damaged...
I see that you have a very old Linux with Python 2.7 and instead of repairing this museum, you would be better off installing a new system on new hardware.
It may be easier, and it will definitely be better.

@tuxcnc, I agree python 2.7 is ancient. I don't understand why the message is useless.

It says file ./plasmac/plasmac_gcode.py line 39
Popen() apparently returned an empty string to int() which needs some character.

If you are using qtplasmac, I would upgrade to Linuxcnc 2.9.10 using the ISO. Seeing Python 2.7 errors raises alarm bells for me
Also, you may find with qtplasmac you will get better results with master branch so it would be good to learn how to build LinuxCNC from source. Its pretty simple these days. QTplasmac is still being pretty actively developed.
