FWIW I have tried the /configs/sim/axis/qtvcp/qtvcp_tabs sample on a 64bit Pi4 and it works. raspberrypi:~ $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian Description:Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) Release:11 Codename: bullseye raspberrypi:~ $ uname -a

Hi Gene. I actually see no apparent show stoppers. The Desktop Notify error is weird but seems to not stop anything. It just seems not to embed. Could your try the sim sim/axis/qtvcp/qtvcp_tabs sample. It should embed a cam window too. also is the new tab window completely plain or is there

Buildbot is not really useful in terms of testing the Debian build until such times as it can build it on the target OS platform. If that's a requirement, then the focus should be on buildbot upgrades. I think back and we had a stretch distro well before stretch was the stable debian release. It's

I'm not sure you could say it adds _no_ value - the code is compiled and tested by the buildbot. Just not on the target you wish yet. - not perfect but still lots of goodness. I personally don't see how we could have a good release candidate anywhere soon (depends what you mean soon of course -

What has been overlooked so far is that there is still no buildbot version for 2.9 on Bullseye so its increasingly difficult to deploy Linuxcnc on newer hardware that requires say 5.10 kernel and higher. Buildbot is a long way behind current kernel versions. It's all very fine to support older

Thank you for the explanation. It sounds to me we will likely/potentially have 3 or 4 versions to maintain. buildbot debs release version (for early bugfix users) Debian version that may or may not be up to date with the buildbot. Master version for development and traditionally daily use by early

Personally, I think it makes sense that when V2.9 becomes the release version (eg replacing V2.8), V2.9 is pushed to the Debian version and master branch will need to be built from source. Only bug fixes to the released version would then be sent to Debian until lcnc releases a new version. It
