Working on fixing the broken install.
I wasn't able to do that previously because I was not the root user. Some google sorted me out there.
I'm pleased to report that I have successfully installed Probe Basic!
This is a huge win for me because Linux and LinuxCNC have been my nemesis since I first tried using it in 2021 when I built my PrintNC router. I gave up because I simply did not know what I was doing. Four years on, and three CNC build later I have a modicum of a clue now.
Each of the posts in the thread represent more learning for me and your help has well, helped me get to where I wanted to be.
Thanks all!
