Greetings; I had another crash yesterday morning as I was quiting linuxcnc, from the pulldown menu, while I was ssh -Y'd into the machine. It did not auto reboot, so I went out and held the reset button down for a few seconds.
It did an fsck (apparently clean) on the reboot, then did a full power down all on its own, then powering back up and booting normally that time with no additional help from me. But linuxcnc -l then went into that crazy 'waiting for axis' routine before failing. At that point I checked position.txt and linuxcnc.var and both were empty files. Deleting them restored normalcy. Basically, the empty file syndrome doesn't appear to have been addressed just yet. LinuxCNC is being updated several times a week, but only this box is crashing. The milling machines identical box seem 100% ok. I haven't yet obtained another psu, primarily because I've only had 1 not at LCNC quitting time problem ever, its nearly always when quitting & always from the file menu pulldown. That is the only clean quit, using the windows close x always leaves the debug files refreshed. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
