What Linux OS being used including kernel type?
Debian 12
-  What version of Linuxcnc is installed?
2.9.4

-  What version of QtPyVCP and Probe Basic is installed?
Version from here:  kcjengr.github.io/probe_basic/quick_star...l#installation-steps

-  How did you install Probe Basic? Quickstart guide? Dev Guide? 
I followed the quickstart guide.

I get an error when I run the third command 'sudo dpkg -i python3-qtpyvcp_5.0.2-19.dev_amd64.deb'
The download folder shows the file.

Yeah, no love. I'm going to go with QTDragon instead.

You should start with Axis GUI first, till you get the machine working properly, then switch to any other GUI.
You can freely ignore this if the machine is working.

I'm converting from Masso to Linux so while I have a working machine, it's not working on Linux :)

Well I tried again with a fresh LCNC install and I got almost all the way through the Probe Basic install.

Got this error on the last installation command: sudo dpkg -i python3-probe-basic_0.6.0-118.dev_amd64.deb

I looked for the application and found it but not a debian version.
Surely something is wrong with the instructions if I'm having this many issues.

probe basic is not part of the linuxCNC project. You could look at qtdragon which is well documented and is part of the project. But as Tommy said, get a working system that uses axis first.

Are you trying to install a dev work station or just a machine control? If a machine control, use the apt installation.

When you see errors like the missing dependency shown in the top line of your screen shot, those are what stop the installation from proceeding. While installing, if you encounter those, you can auto install them by running:

sudo apt --fix-broken install

which will gather all of the missing dependencies on your system and install them.
