Please run LinuxCNC from the command line, then we will probably see what the error is

Yes, I am using (I used) Virtual Box as VM for test.

Is the NativeCAM path correct in the ini file?
(you could post your ini file)
Is NativeCAM runnig standalone from the command line?

As suggested by HansU, you could try to run LinuxCNC from the command line to see the errors during startup.

I recently found this thread and am extremely grateful for all the work on getting NativeCam working once again !!

I have not upgraded my linuxcnc in years because I didn't want to loose NativeCam.

I have a spare computer that I will install Linuxcnc 2.9.4 using the live ISO on tomorrow and NativeCam using the instructions posted last.

I will report back and Thanks once again !!!

Giovanni,

Can you confirm something for me? I am going to attempt installing today.

Your guide was posted here 09/feb/2025 but when I downloaded the files from the link in the guide the files are all dated 04/oct/2024. I was expecting updated files from reading this thread. I thought there were recent file updates????

Thanks much for all the work on this.

I installed both the 2.9.4 ISO and NativeCAM using the guide posted here.
I got no error BUT I also have the NativeCAM tab showing on the axis sim screen AND mine is also a empty blank tab.

Not sure how to proceed so will watch here for updates
