Robertspark's CNC Setup

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...image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/smile.png

Thanks Robert!

no problem happy to help, at least you have a working config.

I'd suggest making a backup to usb of everything as a disk clone so you can always restore quickly if needed

Yeah, I'm giving timeshift a try. This is suppose to take snapshots of the entire system so you can return to previous states. Seems like a wrapper around rsync.

A few questions, just for my own understanding, when you have the time:

Is there a reason why the installation of libeditreadline-dev is separate from the installation of the other debs?

What is the purpose of editing the lightdm.conf file?

Does the probe basic installation work in this context (python3)? (I believe I saw you post that it almost works...)

Thanks.

>>> no idea, I just know that my install was not happy having it in the previous line.... hence I did the large bunch and then just did that one next and it worked.

>>> Its so the machine automatically logs on with your user name and you dont need to logon..... upto you..... I know I would not want my machine to lock whilst I'm cutting something.

Does the probe basic installation work in this context (python3)? (I believe I saw you post that it almost works...)

>>> No idea.... missing file somewhere .... not sure which one.
I noticed that I did the linux dependency check and cleared it all.
But then when I compiled linux it was missing a file so I just added it to the list....

It works.... thats all the matters.

Even if probe basic doesn't work with python3 will it break anything if I install it via your script? I just want to check out the code.
Thanks.
