i just tried the alpha 2 iso and it installs the non free firmware by default now this is the unedited apt source list file from the base installation:
I can confirm that the new packages and instructions work on a fresh install of Debian 12. The only thing that I noticed is that the "sudo apt --fix-broken install" step after the python3_probe_basic package install will fail if you haven't already started LinuxCNC and copied an existing config to your home directory which creates the /home/user/linuxcnc/configs/ folder. You could also create those folders manually. Re-running the command after creating the folders works. I will edit my first post to not confuse new readers.
no need will add to the readme doc and yes i forgot about that
downside of working on an unclean system that had linuxcnc installed already and opened. I may be able to create the directory in the postinst script, I will try and see if it does it!
hmmm, let me check on that, i am just loading a clean installation of debian and going to test the debs to try and see if anything else popped up missing, will report back shortly.
