John hello I am sorry I did not specify which iso to use. see https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/ for scheduled expiration dates of Debians see http://www.linuxcnc.org/downloads/ for recommendations and caveats
I understand that any search you may have tried likely sent you to the Wheezy version The paths to Linuxcnc and many and 'a maze of twisted little passages' with conflicting and out of date informations. (IMO) Wheezy is very old and support is gone from Debian The newer Jeesie is better but its hard to find a live iso with it. There is a version with Debian 9 'Stretch' with RTPREEMPT and you _may_find it better suited to a longer use life. I have Wheezy and Jessie and Stretch each installed on seperate partitions, and will migrate my favorite apps to Stretch if possible. There are gotcha's in using the Linuxcnc partition as your workhorse install, LinuxCNC is conservative and not bleeding edge meaning its core will not have the newest applications available moreover the system you get from the live CD may not even allow you to build what you want from source. Theres a lot of dependancies in various aplications and libraries and languages. IF you limit the install to just running LinuxCNC you'll be better off THAN ( not then ) if you add multimedia apps, java, various pythons, and the new goodies just announced on Google. ( put those on another system or partition ) Here's my 2c for your situation... I think you could now recreate the Wheezy install in a short time You will be able to do the same for Stretch in as much time You will get a future path for applications in Stretch ( missing in Wheezy ) So I suggest keeping what you have learned but moving to the new iso ( editing for the charge pump is minor ) end my 2c see http://www.linuxcnc.org/testing-stretch-rtpreempt/ for images HTH tomp On Tue, May 28, 2019 at 11:57 AM John Dammeyer <jo...@autoartisans.com> wrote: > I installed the > linuxcnc-2.7.14-wheezy.iso > > I want to download putty so I can access the com1 port and talk to the DC > Servo controller for diagnostics. > > Standard practice for the Pi and Beaglebone is to > sudo apt-get update > > and this is what I get with linuxCNC > > Hit http://linuxcnc.org wheezy Release.gpg > Hit http://linuxcnc.org wheezy Release > Hit http://linuxcnc.org wheezy/base Sources > > Hit http://linuxcnc.org wheezy/2.7-rtai Sources > > Hit http://linuxcnc.org wheezy/base i386 Packages > Hit http://linuxcnc.org wheezy/2.7-rtai i386 Packages > Hit http://archive.debian.org wheezy Release.gpg > Ign http://archive.debian.org wheezy/updates Release.gpg > Ign http://linuxcnc.org wheezy/2.7-rtai Translation-en_CA > Ign http://linuxcnc.org wheezy/2.7-rtai Translation-en > Get:1 http://archive.debian.org wheezy/updates Release.gpg [1,601 B] > Ign http://linuxcnc.org wheezy/base Translation-en_CA > Ign http://linuxcnc.org wheezy/base Translation-en > Hit http://archive.debian.org wheezy Release > Ign http://archive.debian.org wheezy/updates Release > Hit http://archive.debian.org wheezy/updates Release > E: Release file for > http://archive.debian.org/debian-security/dists/wheezy/updates/Release is > expired (invalid since 47d 13h 37min 5s).
