It is probably set to delete the packages after install, to save space,not to worry

I attached the config sim folder. This is auto generated from theConfiguration Selector.

It looks OK, you can check the contents against the repo to be sure

What I need is the error output when the sim is launched and 'does not work'

    The image I burned in relation to last message

    Today I did:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

    on the above system.

    I read the email string and am trying to figure out what other
    than that I would need to do. I do not see that he is getting the
    same error as I am.

    After doing the above I get the same result.

    I also tried:

    Downloaded file from:
    
https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/blob/master/configs/sim/axis/xhc-hb04
    
<https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/blob/master/configs/sim/axis/xhc-hb04>

    The .hal files from the above link do not appear to be correct.
    They gave errors and I replaced with sim files generated through
    Configuration Selector.

    Same result.

    I also tried:

    user@INTEL-i7:/usr/src/machinekit/src/hal/utils$ realtime restart
    user@INTEL-i7:/usr/src/machinekit/src/hal/utils$ halcmd loadrt
    debounce
    user@INTEL-i7:/usr/src/machinekit/src/hal/utils$ halcmd show
    pexists debounce.0.0.in <http://debounce.0.0.in/>
    Exists
    user@INTEL-i7:/usr/src/machinekit/src/hal/utils$ halrun -U

    I am confused by this as the sequence of commands went in with no
    errors but nothing visible happened. Is the object of this to get
    the return "Exists" back? If so I got it back.

    Thank you for you patience. I am slowly learning I think.... well
    I am trying anyway :)


    That shows that you have a working version of halcmd :)

    The XHC is a horrible mess of tcl code, which checked for pins by
    parsing the output from halcmd show pin {pinname}

    The problem with that was that the output changed some years back
    from the original in Linuxcnc and it had not worked since.
    I replaced the parsing with a new function which just emits
    'Exists' if the pin name is valid, simplifying everything and ensuring
    it works even if further formatting changes are made to halcmd.

    Changes on 7th February 2017 clobbered the fix and the halcmd part
    was fixed again on 6th March 2017.

    If you still get an error running the sim, you will need to attach it.
    I cannot be the same as you had previously, but there is still
    scope for problems :)

    Also look in /var/cache/apt/archives and see what the exact file
    name of the main machinekit package is, which will pinpoint exactly
    what you have installed
    If you updated today, it should probably be
    machinekit_0.1.1493733523-1mk.travis.master.git06e9c856~1jessie_armhf.deb

        You can't just burn AN updated image, from the ancient one
        you were using.

        You need to use an image which has the halcmd pexists fix
        reinstated after the multicore merge.

            It seemed to me that "machinekit" to launch did not
            work. I will have to check again.


            If it is that old, the XHC-HB04 is probably broken, I
            made the commit to provide a symlink of 'machinekit' in
            34c00e0

            You need a recent image, I fixed XHC in commit 0d3f6b4
            
<https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/commit/0d3f6b4d3c5aa89f1b75203be1efd4417a92182e>
            on 22 Aug 2016, so the image needs to be after that.

                Hello,

                I am attempting to use a USB hb04 pendant. This is
                the hard wired USB version 18 keys. I can't find
                any other model info or part numbers for this unit.

                I have verified that the pendant is being seen by
                using the lsusb command and finding the expected
                id value.

                To start I am trying to get it to work in sim by
                using the prepackaged sim configuration
                unmodified. I select it from the tree after
                launching linuxcnc.

                I am running linuxcnc version 2.7.0 pre.... (I am
                going from memory on this.)


                This is Machinekit not Linuxcnc, make sure you are
                running the correct system or there is no point
                going into this

                The sim works fine as per this thread,

                I am using the Xylotex BeagleCNC BBB_DB25/26 cape.
                (Not that it matters as I am working in sim)

                After I select configuration and LCNC tries to
                load.. I see it going through multiple ports and
                it ends up not finding it.

                I followed the instructions on the read me file
                and added the recommend .rules file to udev
                directory. Still no luck.

                Not sure what to try next.

                Any help would be greatly appreciated.

                Thanks,
