Hi, I have tried to install the new EMC2 on an existing installation of Ubuntu 10.04LTS using the .sh script, however, I have hiot a problem which i don't quite understand. First let me say that the Ubuntu and EMC2 installation has been upgraded several times and I suspect that the problem is caused by my wetware failure in deleting things that I shouldn't have - or not deleting things I should have...... The EMC2 installation ran to completion but left me with a 'broken' package - rtai and so EMC2 won't run even in sim mode (earlier versions seemed to run the sim modes without rtai being installed at all...). When I try to fix the broken package using the 'broken' filter on package manager, I get the following message...
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/rtai-modules-2.6.32-122-rtai_3.8.1-linuxcnc1_386.deb: trying to overwrite '/etc/udev/rules.d/99-rtai.rules; which is also in package rtai-modules-2.6.31-21-rtai 0 The 99-rtai.rules file contains... #RTAI: rtai_shm KERNEL == "rtai_shm", MODE = "0666" #RTAI: rtai_fifos KERNEL == "rtf[0-9]*", MODE = "0666" I'm pretty sure that the 'rtai-modules-2.6.31-21-rtai' has been uninstalled at the same time as the 2.6.31-21 kernel - when it was upgraded to 2.6.31-22 but I'm not absolutely certain. If I just delete the 99-rtai.rules file will the upgrade to rtai-modules-2.6.32-122 automatically create a new file or will this break things altogether?
