Probe basic Install errors

Hey guys, I'm struggling. I am beyond frustrated with trying to get Probe Basic to launch fully. I have been trying to get this to work since a few days before Christmas. 

Here is what I know. 
I can launch the Dev with the sim on the PC. 
I figured out that one of my issues was the screen size. I now have a compatible screen installed. 
I have reinstalled the bookworm iso and followed the instructions several times.
I have cleaned and wiped the system at least 6 times and always come back to an error launching.
i was having the issue of probe basic not launching due to a ini dual hal file error but after a wipe and reinstall and apt repair it seems to have gone away.  

I am still getting can not start display probe basic. I have gone through the configs several times and started fresh with my ini and hal files and still can not get it to launch via Linux CNC launcher with my setup files. 

Any advice? I would greatly appreciate it.

post your config files without them there isn't any way to identify the issue(s)

Lcvette, Sorry, when I wrote this originally the site was having issues and I could not post. seems I forgot to add them when I tried to post the second time. 

Let me know if you need anything else! 

All the help is appreciated! 

Your in file has some errors

You had calls don't match the file names, it won't fine the hall with an incorrect name, post gui is also wrong name.

for clarification, if the file names of the files you uploaded are the ones you intend to use, you need to use them in the ini file call as shown below:

Lcvette,

Thanks for the help.

I'm unsure why the file names on the forms now have the 2025-01-09 attached. It must have been added when I uploaded them. They match what I have in the ini file except for the postgui file name error. I thought I had changed that one. I have made the suggested changes and still can't launch Probe Basic. getting the error "Can't execute DISPLAY program probe_basic  "





 

How did you install probe basic?

If you have Facebook you can join the basic group, may be easier to troubleshoot in real-time

I first tried installing using the guide but it seems part of the links are broken. I then eventually found the script to install it on git. github.com/Lcvette/qtpyvcp-bookworm-inst...r?tab=readme-ov-file

So I installed Debian 12 and followed the steps on the git. This is where I know I can get the dev version to launch, but when I set up my machine file, it just never launches. I will join the FB group going forward.
