After changing my working config to use qtvcp, and running through some trial and error to get the right dependencies installed, and finally finding the install script, and then fixing up a few other things, qtvcp tries to launch but gives up without an obvious error:

This dumb forum wouldn't let me post the output, complaining it had too many links, so I attached it as a file. But the last few lines are:
[QTvcp][INFO]  Building A Linuxcnc Main Screen with Python 2 (qtvcp:124)

[QTvcp][CRITICAL]  With window resize data (qtvcp:290)

Shutting down and cleaning up LinuxCNC...

Any idea what I'm missing? Thanks.

Were you running one of the sample configs?

it's indicating you used a -g geometry option that has a problem - did you use the -g switch ?

[DISPLAY]
DISPLAY = qtvcp -g 2200x1400 qtaxis

Is that incorrect?

In any case, removing that allowed it to get further. I sure did not understand that CRITICAL message to mean that.

That should have worked IIRC - it's been a while since I tested that option.
I'll see if I can improve that error message.

Just to follow up.
I did fix the -g issue and added code to display a better error message.
