Definitive guide to installing MX Linux, Probe Basic and LinuxCNC 2.9

Thanks so much! I would edit my post but merely editing it seems to mess up the formatting. I'll see what I can do.

I ran through the process and apart from the git calls it seem to work.

Only thing is, i can open and edit probe-basic in vcp - but it doesn;t show up in the linuxcnc start list. Any ideas?

Thanks

Dave

I haven't yet played with the editvcp part... I really don't know how it's supposed to work.

Thanks, this has gotten me closer to 2.9 & Probe Basic than anything else in the past few weeks.

As usual with anything Linux, I've run in to a snag.

Installed MX21 and followed all the steps above, including editing the various line to git clone git://...

LCNC starts and runs with axis, but probe basic (and any other GUI) fails with error messages.

I've attached the two pop-up unhandled exception windows as erroe01 and error02 text files, as well as the linuxcnc_debug and linuxcnc_print files.

Anyone have an idea what I screwed up?

Thx,
Ralph

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'qtpyvcp_conversational_gcode'

Thanks for taking a look Rod.

I did install the conversational-gcode git.  Running it again:

mill@MILL:~/probe_basic
$ git clone git://github.com/kcjengr/qtpyvcp.conversational-gcode.git
fatal: destination path 'qtpyvcp.conversational-gcode' already exists and is not an empty directory.


Do I need to add something to a path?
