QtPlasmaC update problem

Hi Phil,

Yes, I changed the sources in Synaptic. Linux upgraded to Buster with problems, lost the gnome desktop and had to manually install that. It's working now, but when I start LinuxCNC then I get this message :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/qtvcp", line 417, in <module>
APP = QTVCP()

head = _translate('VIRTUAL KB ERROR')
TypeError: translate(str, str, disambiguation: str = None, n: int = -1): not enough arguments

Any idea what's going here ? Seems a python problem ?

Hi Phil,

LinuxCNC doesn't show any graphical interface at all when I start it up, it just gives this error. So I can't uncheck the virtual keyboard.

Hi Phil,

That worked, at least QtPlasmaC is running. It shows it is at v1.0.78, the update list says it should be at v1.215.107 ? Wait till the buildbot catches up ?

Hi Phil,

I will give a go. I am a bit apprehensive, somehow when I used the sudo upgrade command before to upgrade to buster I ran into a ton of problems, no graphical display manager, autologin not able to restore, you name. Drives me nuts this linux sometimes.

Thanks Phil,

I have just run update and dist-upgrade, but it still shows v1.0.78. I have shutdown the computer and restarted after the upgrade, same result ?
