Re: [Emc-users] Rpi4B OS
Edited... Hi Phil, I only had issues with occasional loss of Ethernet messaging which required restarting LinuxCNC and homing again with the Pi4 and Mesa 7i92H. Upgrading the power supply to at least 3A made a difference. I used the same display, keyboard and mouse I used with the PC. Edit: Forgot to mention that I used the HAL and INI files from the PC version along with the Pi 2.8 version for LinuxCNC. No building required. Minor changes to the HAL and INI. I'm back to the PC because so far I'm not changing away from my dual boot testing. I have very randomly with no apparent reason also lost Ethernet with the Mesa on the PC. But nothing that indicates why it might happen. It's very rare and usually only when I've been mucking around with things.

Andy, Have you experienced crashes in lcnc on a pi4b? I've had the software bomb out on me a bunch of times, mainly when tapping the touchscreen too quickly.

[Emc-users] Rpi4B OS
Hi, After much fuss due to a bad assumption I made I finally managed to flash the 7i90 for spi. Easy when you do it right. However, loading an OS isn't going well: Download a buster image as a .zip. Unpack to get an .img. dd .img to 32G SD, stick in slot and power up. I get 4 blinks ( no elf ) and messages on screen that complain about no bootxx.txt and elf and elf4 missing. So I asking for help. I think I need a 7l kernel and uspace. Instructions styled for a dummy (I don't seem to be getting any smarter with age) should move this along. That is what to download and then move it to a 32G SD. I've spent way too much time spinning my wheels in the mud. TIA.

[Emc-users] Glade-3 on Rpi
I seem to be plagued by things that I thought I had working but which now do not. The current one is gladevcp. I have Raspbian installed on a 3B+, with Linuxcnc 2.8.1 and an RIP install of 2.9.0-pre available. Glade-3 is version 3.8.6 Python is 2.7.16 The HAL components and pixmaps are installed in both /usr/share/glade3 and /usr/local/share/glade3. However, when I run glade-3 I get no HAL widgets in the left panels, and when I open a ui I was working on a couple of weeks ago, I get big orange boxes saying the element is unavailable where I had HAL widgets placed before. I get a ton of warnings from Glade along the lines of: (glade-3:4859): GladeUI-WARNING **: 08:40:47.658: We could not find the symbol "e_mc__action__home_get_type" (glade-3:4859): GladeUI-WARNING **: 08:40:47.658: Could not get the type from "EMC_Action_Home" (glade-3:4859): GladeUI-WARNING **: 08:40:47.658: Failed to load the GType for 'EMC_Action_Home' (glade-3:4859): GladeUI-WARNING **: 08:40:47.679: Tried to include undefined widget class 'HAL_HideTable' in a widget group I fear that I must have broken something while working on a different problem. Any suggestions for repairing Glade short of a reinstallation? Thanks, -- Ralph ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
Re: [Emc-users] Glade-3 on Rpi
Here is one possible hint that somebody might get a clue from. I tried install QtVCP, and never got that working. I have a suspicion that something in that installation clobbered my GladeVCP installation.
