I don't understand why then the configurator was built into a python 2 application.

Because python2 was the official development environment at the time and PnCconf should have been ported to python3/Glade3 during the conversion process like all the other GUI applications were.

It seems also the QTdesigner is a Python 2 application.

AFAIK designer is written in C++ or similar.

I'd like to see a clean break once the python issues are fixed and ensure release of V2.9 occurs on a ISO-less Debian Bullseye environment.

I don't understand what you mean by this. Packages are available.

Yes the package  building was pretty straightforward and unearthed a few more dependencies.

I don't do package builds often but yeah, they normally go quite easily.

Just the docs forgot to tell you where to look for them.

I imagine PR's would be welcomed for the document updates.

There are no packages for Bullseye and the Buster ones don't work due to different dependencies.
I did try changing the repos in Synaptic in case there was something there but all I got was the docs.

I'll try your script re QT. I did not install the designer stuff. I thought I saw some Python 2 dependencies loaded by it.

The script in master is all python3.

I fixed my last mistake today....

At least it can be used without massive latency like the builtin causes on my Brix J1900.

I’m curious… did you have to disconnect the card inside the computer or was disabling the WiFi enough?

Its a long time ago but I think not installing the driver was sufficient but I removed the supplied Intel Bluetooth/wifi card to be sure. 

Update - 8/11/21

New pc (2007 iMac) to install QTplasmac.

Still working through some coding issues to get the probe/float to work, and then we can start cutting again.
