Z axis probe height init

zip your complete config and post it here.

It shouldn't, do you do any Z jog moves or Z offsets.

And also I have a problem with IHS. It also doesn't work on debian 7(even on simulation install without any changes). On Linux MInt 18 everything works fine.

I have never tried on Debian 7 or Debian 8 for that matter. As it says in the docs it was developed and tested on Debian 9. If I get some spare time I may give it a try.
What do you mean by doesn't work?

Debian 7, LinuxCNC version 2.7 has no external offsets, reverse run, so will not work, unless upgraded to 2.8 or 2.9

I have just tried Debian 7 with master branch and the sim runs fine.

Thanks Tom, your post arrived while I was typing this...

Since you have Debian 7 there, can you please try
sudo apt update
Getting complaints from users that it does not work without "apt-get", i did use it on Stretch and two iterations of Buster and it works.
Thank you.

The same here I could use apt-get but not apt.

Synaptic reports apt as being installed (version 0.9.7.9) but does requires apt-get as the command.
