I have an older QTPlasmac system I need to get updated to the latest version. 
Problem is it was built with buildbot. I am afraid now that it probably wont work if I try to upgrade linuxcnc with the troubles with the buiodbot right now.

What are my options?
It is running master 2.9.0-pre0.3879.g9a26e69fe
Linux Mint 19.3
python 3.6.9
python 2.7.17

Buildbot packages require python 3.7

To use the Buildbot packages you would require a distro with python 3.7 - Buster or MX19 are two that are known to work.

If you want to stick with Mint you will need to build locally and have two options for that.

Build for Run In Place:


Build a local package and install it:

Currently the no-docs option in package builds seems to have issues so you will probaly need to build the docs as well.

Edit: the no-docs option has been fixed.

Well bugger,

I thought I update QtPlasmaC to the latest version but of course that broke the thing, now I see this thread. Wish this python 3 thingy was announced in the update list :(.

Is it possible to install python 3 on buster ?

Cheers, Peter

I have tried rolling back to an earlier version, but that seems not to work this time due to this python 3.7 requirement for buildbot. Stuck with a dead machine now. How can I get this to work ?

Cheers, Peter

Buster should have python3.

What is the result of entering python3 at a command prompt?

Hi Phil,

I just installed python-3.7.9, but QtPlasmaC still throws an error. If I type "python3.7 -V" in the terminal it shows Python 3.7.9

python 3.7 should have been the default python3 in Buster, LinuxCNC has required that for several months now.

What error are you getting?

I saw in the error report whether "python3-gst1.0" is installed and I have tried to install that, but it seems the system is unable to locate that package. I suppose that doesn't help
