Error getting packages on fresh install on Raspberry Pi 5

need more information on your install. are you using the linuxcnc iso? if so i think it was sent out with an older repository listing, you may need to remove it first and try uninstalling qtpyvcp probe basic completely and then use the docs to reinstall with the key allowing it to install the source address.

I'm running the LinuxCNC OS provided on the LinuxCNC Downloads page:  Downloads

• LinuxCNC 2.9.2  Raspberry Pi 5 OS based on Debian Bookworm  Raspberry Pi 5 Uspace compatible with Mesa Ethernet boards. Note that SPI is not currently supported with the Pi5.

I used rpi-imager to burn the OS onto the micro SD card for my Raspberry Pi 5.  So far the OS is working fine.  I just can't get probe basic to install.

I just went through this a few days ago with my Pi 5.

I left a post on another thread about consider adding the RaspberryPi.com and Raspian.org entries to the appropriate lists so that the APT infrastructure works out of the box with the prebuilt Debian distributions from LinuxCNC.

I wasn't taking notes so I might have missed a step but you definitely need to add entries to the /etc/apt/sources.list and drop PGP signature files into /usr/share/keyrings.

I updated the files on my Pi but it will be tomorrow until I can get to it on the net. I'll try to upload those files and you can just drop them in. Then I would immediately install either gdebi or synaptic which are both great package managers.

I have Synaptic Package Manager installed. Looking forward to those files. Thanks for the help.

I'm attaching a .txt file with all the details - but I have a question for the group!I figured out how to 'kindof' get raspbian.org to work but it didn't seem like it had anything useful for a Pi 5 and/or for Debian.  Could be I just didn't find it or included the wrong tags.  I wound up adding arch=amdhf to get the errors to stop but doesn't that mean that a Debian Pi 5 doesn't need anything from there?Anyway, the file I will be attaching with have config instructions for BOTH raspberrypi.com and raspbian.org, including instructions on where/how to get the pgp security keys. 

I've never used this editor so if the file isn't attached I will try again.

WOW!

People were not kidding, that editor does suck.
