I did the installation yesterday according to the instructions. Since I use a Debian with the German language settings a minor error occurred. In my Linux the directory "home/user/Pictures" does not exist. Therefore I got an error at the end of the installation. This was no problem for me, I just created the directory and installed it again. Then everything worked as desired. I just wanted to mention it here.
Thanks for the detailed help here and also to all who contribute to this forum.

Thank you,  I think on the latest test branch I'm working on it will save to a created icons directory so the icons will be available from within the system icons directory when editing the launchers!

Hey, reporting an issue with the install process with running the following command:

sudo dpkg -i python3-qtpyvcp_0.4-2_all.deb
Code:
(Reading database ... 179305 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack python3-qtpyvcp_0.4-2_all.deb ... Unpacking python3-qtpyvcp (0.4-2) over (0.4-2) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of python3-qtpyvcp:  python3-qtpyvcp depends on python3-serial; however:   Package python3-serial is not installed. dpkg: error processing package python3-qtpyvcp (--install):  dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing:  python3-qtpyvcp

--Update--

Just updating that I was able to get python3 serial installed. This was initially a clean install of debian 12 from the latest ISO. I also checked to see that python3 install was up to date. I was running 3.11.2. Followed the readme and after the above error I ran the following:

sudo apt --fix-broken install python3

It wouldn't install pyserial, thus I ran

sudo apt-get install python3 followed by sudo apt --fix-broken install. It then installed python serial.

I was then able to rerun the install on qtpyvcp and probe basic.

I'm basically brand new to linux, so the above my have been a bit of a weird work around, but it got the job done.

can you tell me what version of the .deb you were installing?  i just went back and looked and the latest does not use the pictures folder but the icons directory:

```
Code:
# Create the icons directory if it doesn't exist sudo -u ${SUDO_USER:-$USER} mkdir -p "${TARGET_HOME}.local/usr/share/icons" # Copy the probe_basic icons directory to the target directory sudo -u ${SUDO_USER:-$USER} cp -r /usr/share/icons/probe_basic_icon.png "${TARGET_HOME}.local/usr/share/icons/" sudo -u ${SUDO_USER:-$USER} cp -r /usr/share/icons/probe_basic_icon_lathe.png "${TARGET_HOME}.local/usr/share/icons/"

Thanks,

Chris

@rodw
Is your linked guide still the best way of doing the whole ethercat / probe basic install? I see that now instead of using Lcvettes qtpyvcp-bookworm-installer on git hub they are recommending using python3-probe-basic_0.5.3_all .deb
