It is only running with on board video (no video cards), there is a display attached. If I boot from the Linuxcnc live Wheezy ISO (using a USB thumb drive). It eventually boots and opens a desktop. If I open a terminal window and type Linuxcnc. The config picker opens, I select something, then nothing else seems to happen. The computer is not locked up, I can open and do other things, but no word of anything from Linuxcnc, and the terminal window is blank. (going from memory here, as the machine is running production work now.) The same thing happens with the latency test. I know there is something very wrong. But I don't know were to even look to find out what. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
