hi, i tried to install the image but i got some errors. sudo geany /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf creates a new file for me because it doesn't exist ... qtpyvcp -h qtpyvcp -i these two commands also return an error and the last pip install git + https: //github.com/kcjengr/qtpyvcp.conversational-gcode.git now i had to stop next time i will try to be more precise however kernel preempt-rt is installed and qt too.

what distro are you using?

what desktop application are you using?

you need to log out and back in before running
qtpyvcp -h qtpyvcp -i

I can get qtpuvcp to work and run up to there.

this line
sudo geany /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

is to set the automatic login.... it requires that you use the light desktop manager... and if you install the xfce desktop that should install...if you are using mate, qt or cinnamon or lxde I am not sure what desktop manager they use.

this was just my work in progress post... hence it has no text other than commands.

I installed a clean Debian bullseye install, built and installed linuxcnc then was working around to qtvcp....then wiped it when I was messing with probe basic as I wanted to check that my install of dependencies was correct to try another route.... hence this was not really set as a working config for anyone but just a list of commands that I was working through and tweaking

Thanks for this recipe, Robert!

I have a few, hopefully not too naive questions:

1. Is the dangling "libeditreadline-dev" just part of the sudo apt install, i.e. it should just follow "python3-pip"?

2. Referring to the following:

sudo geany /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
scroll down to line ~ 126 and remove the # + add your user name from:
    #autologin-user=
    #autologin-user-timeout=0
quiet splash isolcpus=2,3 intel_idle.max_cstate=0 processor.max_cstate=0 acpi_irq_nobalance noirqbalance

I assume this is optional just to improve real time performance? I've seen /etc/default/grub modified with the isolcpus parameters. What is /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf?

3. Is this an installation of Probe Basic that will work with Bullseye and Python3 ? That's quite ground-breaking!

I think I understand the rest. After I hear back, I'll give it a try...

Thanks!

Did you edit your recipe? I think you clarified a few things since I saw it last. Thanks!

But, unless I missed it, I see no command to reboot. This would be necessary before checking the real time kernel with uname -a, correct?

I understand now that you are trying ... however I installed the linked image at the beginning of the post, only I left gnome instead of xfce. I try to install with xfce again I have a test disk, the working one is safe.

with gnome (never used it)

I got though the linuxcnc installtion with success! I can run axis!

But here are a few notes that might be helpful:

I rebooted after the first apt install (that included dpkg-dev linux-image-rt-amd64 linux-headers-rt-amd64.) I think that's necessary, correct?

For this step to succeed:

dave@debianDave:~/dev/linuxcnc-dev$ dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc

I had to install libtk-img

sudo apt install libtk-img

After the step above, you must cd .. to where the debs are, correct?

(I skipped the grub customization step because I wanted to do a before and after comparison. It didn't affect the installation.)

I didn't try it because it caused errors before, but would the no-docs option work?

I'm going to do a timeshift now, before installing qtpyvcp, so I can get back to a working lcnc if something happens. That might take a while...

Thanks again!

sorry i didnt list all the cd commands

nodocs wont work (i tried it)

i believe this was removed due to debian bookworm integration so the build takes for ever with a whole load of docs i dont install.

(sometimes progress is moving backwards...)

It all works!
I just installed qtpyvcp and everything is great. (I'm now back to where I was over a week ago...

Thanks Robert!
