I've had so much trouble with bookworm on this machine that the debian
list, instead of helping, has now routed my posts to /dev/null.
And recent changes to the default display server have removed my ability
to do very much if anything that requires the x server to do.
That means I have to goto each machines own keyboard and monitor to run
a gui for anything including updates. A year ago I could run linuxcnc
via an ssh connection to any machine, but now I'm blocked by display
errors. This routing of my msgs to /dev/null will force me to use
another distro, possibly xubuntu as the basic distro going fwd.
Klipper, for 3d printers, uses a different method to facilitate running
and/or controlling my 3d printers by using nginx to broadcast AND
control the printer, from anyplace on my local network simply by running
firefox or any browser point at the address of that printer. PrusaSlicer
usees lots of webkit stufff to do this for my 3d printers. And this
works very well, allowing me to run and control a 3d printer exactly
from this machine as from its own keyboard and mouse without running a
browser. klipper does NOT support the tiny displays used on most 3d
printers, but is designed from the gitgo to use a 1920x common hdmi
monitor of most any size so I have monitors up to 27" on my rebuilt 3d
printers. So my printers all are using a bananapi-m5 for a booster to
both enable the web server, and at the same time, offload some of the
stuff the controller card used to do. Coupling between the controller is
via a single usb-2 or faster port, which the bpi-m5 has 4 usb 3 sockets.
So I'm asking: Can a similar web based interface be added to linuxcnc?
This would alleviate much of the wasted real estate that tkinters
limited gfx wastes. And would enable my ability to login into and even
control a running instance of linuxcnc to monitor progress of a working
operation. As this exists today, the only editor I can use to write
g-code from this comfy chair is nano. geany has a lot more features but
cannot now be run remotely due to this copy/paste from a login to my
6040 mill:
gene@sixty40:~/linuxcnc/nc_files$ geany cocking-piece.ngc
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
Geany: cannot open display
gene@sixty40:~/linuxcnc/nc_files$
And this is not linuxcnc. Fixing linuxcnc to run as a web server would
not fix this, so I'd much rather fix wayland to do this. Any known tricks?
Thanks a bunch.
Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
