Question on Step 4 of the APT install instructions

I'm completely new and having trouble telling what the individual commands are in the box. I think I've goofed things up, Probe Basic shows up under my configurations- but errors out. I'm feel like I've probably executed step 4 incorrectly. I now have tried a few different times/ways. Am I supposed to separate at the 'pipe' ( | ), line by line, or ? 

Is it relevant to even post the error/debug info until I've completed the instructions satisfactorily?

Thanks
Jim

Just to clarify.

The directions say: Run the following commands in the main terminal one at a time:

sudo apt install curl
echo 'deb [arch=amd64] repository.qtpyvcp.com/apt stable main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kcjengr.list
curl -sS repository.qtpyvcp.com/repo/kcjengr.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/kcjengr.gpg
gpg --keyserver keys.openpgp.org --recv-key 2DEC041F290DF85A
Im not certain what the individual commands are. It's probably obvious to most... but I'm very very new to LinuxCNC

You have to run the command in the main terminal line by line. So 4 commands in total.

Okay, Thankyou. That is actually what I did first but then wasnt sure, so I tried rerunning them seperatated by the | symbols. I'm going to delete the configs and redo.

Jim

thank you for pointing that out, i have now adjusted the docs to make it more clear with some spacing between the lines, please let me know if this would have been clearer when you first were running the install!

Thanks,

Chris

Wow- Incredibly responsive!!!

Unfortunately- Im still not able to load Probe Basic. I get a PopUp of LinuxCNC Errors thats longer than a book. I've attached it here.
For what ever it is worth- I have succesfully loaded/launched qtdragon GUI ok.

The uploader yelled at me for the .report extention- so I added a .txt
Hopefully that works.

I appreciate any advice I can get.

 

looks like a hardware compatibility issue with vtk. did you check the compatibility per the docs for opengl?

No I did not.
Honestly I thought that running update and upgrade would have taken care of that (unless the hardware itself is not compatible). I'm reading about Mesa right now and will probably attempt installing/loading that.
Thank you very much.
Jim

the hardware may or may not be able to run the correct version, impossible to know until you check. this is pc hardware for graphics. qtpyvcp uses VTK for the back plotter which is different than the stock linuxcnc plotter. if the hardware isn't compatible, a graphics card can often times resolve if you want to use PB, otherwise QTDragon may be a better fit.

For the time being Ive abandoned Probe Basic. I did order a graphics card that should help/fix the hardware issue and I'll try again later on.

I'm still learning, but I've got a 90% configured instance of qt_dragon up and running and I think I'll like it too- though I do like the looks of Probe Basic.

Thanks.
Jim
