Hi Phillc54,

I installed LinuxCNC from this image :

linuxcnc-stretch-uspace-i386-r13.iso

Cheers, Peter

Yes, I think the error is due to a malformed command line. You are asking bash to execute your .ini file and it does not have the execute privilege set (understandably becasue it does not contain executable commands). That gives you a permission denied error.

Hi Gents,

I got the command :

$ linuxcnc ~/linuxcnc/configs/<machine-name>.<machine-name>.ini

from the LinuxCNC pdf : LinuxCNC V2.8.0-pre1-5429-ga2c2f92e1, 2020-02-10 which opens from the LinuxCNC menu. Remember we are not Linux gurus, using the command line is confusing for us, however powerful the command line is.

To Phillc54 : your command

$ linuxcnc /home/plasma/linuxcnc/configs/plasma/plasma.ini

does get LinuxCNC started, thank you, although it terminates with an error in the plasma_connections.hal file, which states Pin '10' does not exist. I will look through the files to see what goes wrong there if I get a chance.

Cheers, Peter

Oops, my dyslexia kicked in and I read that as P241. You are correct it is on P214.


To Phillc54 : your command

$ linuxcnc /home/plasma/linuxcnc/configs/plasma/plasma.ini

So that equates to:
$ linuxcnc ~/linuxcnc/configs/plasma/plasma.ini.ini 
I see the error is that the manual has a dot where it should be a forward slash. I shall fix that.

That will be in /home/plasma/linuxcnc/configs/plasma/plasma_connections.hal

Hi Gents,

After a few tribulations we got our old machine running with the PlasmaC configuration. We still have to setup the THC and so on, but at least we can try out the PlasmaC controls on our old machine. Thank you all for your input so far.

Don't mind us if we come up with a few more questions in the near future !

Cheers, Tim & Peter
