To set up my computer, I followed Dr. Dflo.
www.drdflo.com/pages/Projects/CNC-Mill.html#linuxcnc
Click on linuxcnc from the left menu.The last line of the paragraph has a specific link for setting up for Probe Basic, so that is what I have been following.
He lists this link:
kcjengr.github.io/probe_basic/quick_start.html
From here, I downloaded the Debian 12 bookworm image (on my win 11 computer) and followed the instructions to make a bootable usb drive. I probably used the link to make the image but am not 100% sure......it was a simple utility like what is listed.
I ran that usb drive on my new computer for this mill: Intel NUC mini desktop Core i5-9300H, 8GB ram, 256 GB SSD. It removed windows and only Debian is installed.
It appears it was Debian 12.2.0, as you can see from the first commands I typed into the terminal (text file below).
I just updated Debian by using sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade from the terminal.
It gave me an error on lines 705 and 722:
Let's see if I attached the file correctly.....
What does this error mean and how do I address it?
I have not yet restarted the computer, but ran the command to check the debian version and it is still 12.2.0. I will do a restart and check again.
