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: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.
```
# 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

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

Thanks for all this info. I was able to install Debian 12 and probe basic in a short amount of time because of all your work!
I did run into one issue when trying to install Linuxcnc where it was prompting me to insert the install media and it wouldn't complete the installation.
I was able to fix the issue by commenting out the top 2 lines of: /etc/apt/sources.list
Which were:
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux bookworm-DI-alpha2 _Bookworm_ - Official Alpha amd64 DVD Binary-1
with firmware 20230218-23:57]/ bookworm main non-free-firmware
With those commented out and the file saved, I retried the linuxcnc install command and everything worked past that point.
Thanks again for all the help!

Yes if this is what you are refferring to docs.google.com/document/d/1jeV_4VKzVmOI...diY/edit?usp=sharing
If you have problems with it looking on a CD, you may have used the wrong ISO. the netinstall I referr to in the link above does not have this problem.

I guess I didn't see your google doc when I ran my install. I used the google doc from Lcvette, but what you have in your instructions makes sense as well.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

I have the sim running on 2.9.0 and python 3.11 on Mint 21.1
Sim looks like everything is working. No luck so far with a working hal or ini file for my 7i76 to test system. Anyone have these to look at, so I can edit my working axis hal and ini files.

There's a guide below this thread in the sticky section for converting a py3 config from working axis config.

I have it running now. I'll see what I have broken soon. Don't see how I would have ever got it running without your help on this. Thank you.
