NativeCAM is Features renamed

Hi, Fern.
I deleted all the NativeCAM folders and files, installed again as per your instructions above and it works correctly now. Thank you for your time and your excellent application.

Hi Fern,

I have a Ncam system that has been working flawlessly for quite some time. I have NOT installed the recent updates that you released in the last month as yet.

Today, I took updates on the computer (op system and lcnc)and now Ncam/Lcnc crashes on startup. I am getting some glade errors related to NativeCam as shown in the attached screenshot. (Ignore the Hidcomp errors, I got those under control). The updates today included a update for Linuxcnc to 2.7.9 , before today the system was operating under 2.7.8 which ran fine.

Hopefully you can help me out.

This is THE update that will use the deb package and will update NativeCAM automatically. It seems that it will not be included at this time with lcnc but I already tested a package hosting service that gives full satisfaction at this time

I will make a few more tests with ncam and post here maybe tonight how to use it in 2 or 3 very simple commands. In the meantime, do NOT use nondeb_setup.py

Hi Fern,
Thanks for the fast reply, as you always do.

If I understand you correctly, the updates I took today, for lcnc, corrupted my NativeCam installation because the deb updating of NativeCam is only partially implemented at this time and was included in the update to Lcnc 2.7.9

I will wait for your suggestions. I had hoped to make some parts using NativeCam but it will have to wait for a solution.

Thanks again,
George

Pretty close ...

With previous stable versions of lcnc, we had to modify some of lcnc essential files and they were overwritten on every lcnc update, what it did with this new version.

However many would be ncam users had problems installing it and having to redo it many times frustrated many. So there was concensus at lcnc to do something about it and the code was modified to use 2 new subdirectories for applications like NativeCAM. The modifications were included in the pre-release version but now have been released in this stable version.

After a deb package is installed, you will never have to worry about updating or re-install the deb unless you uninstall it

Hi George

You will find the instruction on how to setup as a deb at
