Woodpecker - 1080x1920 Portrait mode problems

Hottabich,

Didn't want to clutter up the GUI Examples thread, but I'm having some newbie problems getting it to run.  The portrait sim starts but closes with errors (but no log file).

Lcnc 2.9 RIP, regular Qtvcp sims work fine.

A number of the .ini files and so forth have /home/jura/ file paths in them causing errors.  Can you give me a list of what all needs to be edited to get it working? Or if there's a better way of installing it than extracting the .zip to my /configs folder?

Thx,
R

Thanks Tommy.

I did a file contents search and replaced all the path instances I could find, but there's a missing file somewhere.  It's /jura/line-number.txt referenced in numbstr.py.

Not sure if that's a (or the) problem but the GUI still opens and then closes about halfway through the loading process.

-R

Create an empty line-number.txt file like in the screenshot and in the numstr.py file write your path to the file. The line number will be saved there when the machine is stopped in an emergency. If you do not need it, then delete or comment out the last two lines in woodpecker_postgui.hal.

Still failing to load completely.  The handwheel panel shows up for a second, but then everything closes.

Problem is that I don't get an error message and the terminal closes automatically before I can see what's going on.  Even set [EMC] DEBUG = 1 but it's still closing.

Why are there such difficulties. Place the files as shown in the screenshots. Woodpecker interface in linuxcnc 2.9 default. Replace the two files woodpecker.ui, woodpecker_handler.py, with yours from your configuration and everything works.

Perhaps you need to replace sim_panel.ui with a file from the configuration.

Probably because Linux is still a mystery to me.

Copied the two files to /share/qtvcp/screens/woodpecker/, and copied sim_panel.ui to /qtvcp/panels/sim_panel/.

Next error:
Traceback (most recent call last):File "/home/mill/linuxcnc-dev/bin/qtvcp", line 481, in <module>APP = QTVCP()File "/home/mill/linuxcnc-dev/bin/qtvcp", line 287, in __init__window.handler_instance.initialized__()File "/home/mill/linuxcnc-dev/share/qtvcp/screens/woodpecker/woodpecker_handler.py", line 148, in initialized__self.init_utils()File "/home/mill/linuxcnc-dev/share/qtvcp/screens/woodpecker/woodpecker_handler.py", line 375, in init_utilsfrom facing import FacingModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'facing' 

Please describe your actions in order. I have linuxcnc installed from the official iso image and no problems.

Lcnc 2.9 RIP

• installed qtvcp from the thread pinned to the top of this sub-forum and selected development version ("2")
• qtvcp was installed in /linuxcnc-dev/share/, not usr/share
• downloaded the .zip file from your link
• unzipped to network drive
• copied unzipped folder to /linuxcnc/configs
• edited all instances of paths /jura/linuxcnc... to /mill/linuxcnc
• copied (new) woodpecker.ui and woodpecker_handler.py from linuxcnc/configs to /linuxcnc-dev/share/qtvcp/screens/woodpecker
• copied (new) sim_panel.ui from linuxcnc/configs to linuxcnc-dev/share/qtvcp/panels/sim_panel
• started lcnc using launcher: /home/mill/linuxcnc-dev/scripts/linuxcnc
