I'm trying to migrate to qtdragon-hd on a working axis  on Bullseye Initially set up 12 months ago. 
I did an sudo apt upgrade to get the current version of Bullseye and then 
upgraded 2.9  using the debs on the hidden buildbot in training... All went well and the qtdragon sims work perfect.

So this morning, I worked through the qtdragon install and finally get the GUI to open after commenting out a few custom pins I used in an axis side panel. BUt on openingit displays this error:

It seems like its failing due to a missing .var file but I have tried a few different file names to ensurethe file exists. How can I get past this road block?

Try this. I think I got it all. First cut with the full folder was too big

Could you run using
DISPLAY = qtvcp -d qtdragon_hd
and post the terminal

I can't replicate the obvious error. Maybe that can give me more info.

ok it seems to be the absolute path to the var file.
can you change it to a relative to the config folder path and see what happens.
PARAMETER_FILE = /home/mill2/linuxcnc/VMNmillQT/linuxcnc.var
to
PARAMETER_FILE = linuxcnc.var

Chris,thanks for this. I'll check over the weekend. Looks like the monitor failed yesterday so I can't check for a while.

Chris, That was it thanks! We have movement and a Modbus spindle (RPM not properly scaled yet, but we'll get there...)

Ok great. I'll look into why that was a problem in the future.
