qtvcp issues

Since changing to Mint 19.1 I get indentation error messages even tough I use the same indent and everything visually lines up just fine in the text editor. This is just a inconvenience that can be worked around with a better editor or by copy and paste existing indents. A more important problem that shows up on start up of the gui is a problem.

For some reason on start up the size is reduced as the below picture shows. Once the Gui is loaded and running I notice that the size returns to normal and info messages can be read.

Indent problems typically happen if you mix tabs and spaces.
I always set my text editor to use 4 space when the tab button is pressed.
Maybe that is related to the error.

I'll test the error message on my mint 19 system and see If i can see what's going on with the error message.

Yesterday I got the designer and linuxcnc working just fine on Mint 19.1 and could control all machine functions. Before this I could open the designer without a problem but after running linucnc for sever hours and then opening the designer I get the below message and opening the designer fails. this does not make much sense since none of the files listed in the error message were changed by me.

cnc@cnc1:~/qtvcp-dev$ . ./scripts/rip-environment
cnc@cnc1:~/qtvcp-dev$ designer -qt=5
qt5ct: using qt5ct plugin
qt5ct: D-Bus global menu: no

undefined symbol: _Py_ZeroStruct suggests a python version problem.

Does designer have a libpyqt5.so as well as the libpyqt5_py2.so?

If so and you don't use python3 widgets I would get rid of it and see if the problem goes away.

Error message should be more friendly now.

I was just able to get QT5 reinstalled and back to normal. On this install using QT offline installer (1.5 GB) the gui buttons look a lot better than they did my original install of QT on Mint 19.1. That one I had installed from source.

I don't know where all these G codes are coming from:




this is all I find in my .ini file.

RS274NGC_STARTUP_CODE = G17 G20 G40 G43H0 G54 G64P0.005 G80 G90 G94 G97 M5 M9

Not sure which ones you think are wrong, but it's probably because some are default even if you don't set them eg G90.1/G91.1. - looks like G91.1 is default.

I have had to drop off my x1mill project for a while due to other commitments. My latest work is available from github but is still in need of changes. github.com/auto-mation-assist/x1Mill_branch

Thanks for the update! I added a version of your screen to master too.
hopefully you can get back to your mill project soon.

Hello! Happy New Year everyone! I decided to make Qtpyvcp interface for linuxcnc. Based on Brender + mill_touch_v6 + probe_basic. Neither can I fix one error. Please help someone who can and if it's not difficult. Files are attached. Thank you in advance.
