Hey Kirk, EMC is actually a back burner project for me right now. I have a large contouring router/mill and am running acromill on it. Too busy to change that over right now but I'd like to have a gameplan w/emc when/if my control card craps out and I'd like to go to 5-axis at some point with that machine.
I need linux to run some of my cad/cam/engineering apps that are windows programs. I am using my pc at home to test out linux as I have zero experience with it.....however, I'm tired of windows and not happy with the direction they are heading and want to get away from it.....but I need to be able to run my windows software. cm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kirk Wallace Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 12:14 PM To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) Subject: Re: [Emc-users] more problems On Tue, 2007-08-28 at 09:44 -0400, Chris Mason wrote: > Ok guys, > > > > I changed out the video card and I now have a working linux box..cool. > Now, I need to use windows software on it. I hope you don't mind me asking why you need Windows. I have Rutex servo amps that use Windows tuning software, but I plug in a spare Windows boot hard drive for that. > I tried loading WINE and when I got to the part where I put my > password in, it will not let me type in my password.

The only Ubuntu password I use is the normal user password, even to become root. (I use "sudo su -" in a terminal to become root, by the way.) Can you get to another terminal by Control-Alt-F2, log in and "ps ax" to see what the computer is trying to do? I would put in a vote to suggest that you keep your EMC computer as lean as possible. For me, it helps me stay focused on what's really important. I have a couple EMC only computers, so that I can break one and still have one to use. Good luck.
