Probe Basic Lathe on LinuxCNC 2.9

Please note the linuxcnc 2.9 ISO download includes the qtpyvcp repos set up for apt for covenience. you just need to do the usual sudo apt install per the qtpyvcp web site.

This also implies thet if qtpyvcp updates their repos, sudo apt upgrade will get the latest published version...

unfortunately apt install python3-qtpyvcp tells me that i already have installed the latest version

run the uninstall commands below, then follow the installation section from the link below to install the apt version. easy peasy just did this on my machines the other day works perfectly, be sure to rename your config files something other than probe basic so they do not get overwritten during the update. never a bad idea to keep a backup copy somewhere also before running updates just to be safe!

uninstall existing deb installation, run each in terminal in order below to remove without dependency errors:

sudo dpkg -P python3-probe-basic

sudo dpkg -P python3-qtpyvcp

sudo dpkg -P python3-hiyapyco

Next, follow the short instructions here to setup apt:

i did this already yesterday, but still the same error

I have a similar issue. I installed the debian12-iso from the linuxcnc download page today. But if I start the Probe basic lathe I get the same error.
I think there is a problem with the probe_basic_lathe.yml  (see the picture below).
