Why is Plasmac and QTplasmac pausing at the end of a cut for no reason?

I know this is all off topic to Rod’s problem, but here is the aforementioned post:

Offtopic but relevant cos I don't see any popups either. I do in Gmoccapy.

I might revert to the standard ISO. I just hate the desktop! So unfriendly.

I also have lost the touch screen that just installed on 17.3 out of the box.

Phill pointed me to MX Linux. So far I have zero complaints. I always had WiFi issues with the stock iso. Plus the error popups work

Can you still use Tommy's method to apply the PREEMPT_RT patch?

I’m not familiar with Tommy’s method to be honest so I can’t say.

But after using a base MX Linux 19.3 iso it was as easy as installing the appropriate LCNC kernel, the LinuxCNC and Qtvcp dependencies, building linuxcnc (I use RIP), etc. I would reckon it’s even easier with a package build. I just use RIP so I can poke at the source code if I run into any issues and help diagnose the issue. Plus I don’t have to wait on the buildbot. Otherwise package builds are probably easier.

I am away at the moment, or I could provide you more detailed guidance. I have notes from when I switched over. Probably be early next week until I could shoot some notes over.

Chances are the howto for Mint 19.3 will work for MX also, but i never tested it.

Sorry. Like I say, out of pocket for a bit.

Could it be the M67 before M5 causing the delay?

M67 ?
Pretty sure it works in conjunction with motion, so if using it for torch on, i would change that promptly.
Or was it M68 ???
