Re: [Emc-users] Upgrade 2.8.0 pre to 2.8
linuxcncrsh (src/emc/usr_intf/emcrsh.cc) has been updated to a *limited* extent for the master branch with joints-axes updates. The extent of updates has primarily been to maintain the scripts that are used in the runtests suite of tests. These scripts are run on the buildbot (for all supported operating systems) at each new commit (or set of commits). In src/emc/usr_intf/emcrsh.cc:setHome(), the code for "Home All" (== -1) is rejected in both the master branch AND in 2.7. The absence of this particular functionality is likely indicative of the limited usage of linuxcncrsh in the wild. I've pushed a commit to add this "Home All" capability and verified the runtests are still ok on my test machine. The commit, for the master branch only, is: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/commit/b3568fb9094b0075087242fc543c8db0d8e3ad40 #-- There may be other features available in guis that are not implemented in linuxcncrsh. If you make changes to add missing features and push them to the master branch of git, it will be important to run the runtests suite to ensure that the expected output of existing test scripts is not altered since alterations may cause test (and buildbot) failures. #-- Ref runtests scripts: $ find tests -type f -iname '*.ini' -exec grep -cH linuxcncrsh {} \;|grep -v :0$ ./linuxcncrsh-tcp/linuxcncrsh-test.ini:1 ./toolchanger/toolno-pocket-differ/random/sim.ini:1 ./toolchanger/toolno-pocket-differ/nonrandom/sim.ini:1 ./linuxcncrsh/linuxcncrsh-test.ini:1 ./t0/random-without-t0/sim.ini:1 ./t0/nonrandom/sim.ini:1 ./t0/random-with-t0/sim.ini:1 ./mdi-queue/linuxcncrsh-test.ini:1 ./motion/g0/motion-test.ini:1 -- Dewey Garrett -- 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

Andy, Sebastian, I know this is a pre release, but I notice one significant difference. I blew the fuse on the 5V PS which powers the 7i43 and started up not realizing it had blown. Lcnc seems to lock up when it cannot talk to the 7i43. I was pretty sure in the previous release that it would give a meaningful error message and shut down gracefully when it could not talk to the board.

Re: [Emc-users] Upgrade 2.8.0 pre to 2.8
It might be helpful if folks were more precise in describing version names. The git master branch VERSION file is 2.8.0~pre1 as recorded in this file: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master/VERSION This VERSION is reported to stdout by the axis gui and appears in the in the window border as well. (I didn't test other guis). As i understand it, the '~pre1' indicates it is a pre-release developmental branch and there is NO version 2.8 nor a plan or timeline for such its release. It concerns me that numerous folks use or advise using the master branch (or developmental branches based on it) without fully understanding that it is a developmental branch and may 1) change without user notification, 2) has no mandate for exact backwards compatibility, and 3) may occasionally break user configs (or worse) due to incompatibilities or bugs. It seems to me that users of such branches need to monitor commit activity and be aware of the risks taken with unreviewed updates to their systems. The GitHub page for LinuxCNC has a link for the "Latest commit" but i don't know if there is a way to be informed automatically at each commit. Developers try to describe updates in the devel (master) docs: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/getting-started/updating-linuxcnc.html For feature branches, the docs built by the buildbot are available for an interval after building at: http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/doc/ -- Dewey Garrett -- 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

It was master / 2.8. You do need 2.8, your configs won't work with 2.7. The buildbot is working on a fixed version of 2.8 at this very moment.

This is probably my fault. https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/commit/036bdd6eccc42ac8c878e54dce1343f58454f2f9 I thought that I had time to get some hardware to properly test it on, as I pushed it to 2.7 and forgot that it would eventually merge up to 2.8. (my thinking was that as long as I got it fixed before the next 2.7 release it would be OK) Anyway, I have reverted it in 2.7 and hopefully it will merge up to Master soon.

Re: [Emc-users] Upgrade 2.8.0 pre to 2.8
Sebastian, Which version introduced opposing motor gantry support? Was that 2.7, and because I had 2.7 pre installed I inadvertently upgraded to 2.8 pre? It is an RTAI build as I had the 7i43-small configuration working fine. I will try what you say, I would just like confirmation that I am using the version with gantry support, which I thought had been released.

The sim configurations worked, but the default 7i43-small just locks up with no error message. Nothing responds. Can only power off computer. That's terrible! What version of linuxcnc were you running? Was this an RTAI build? I tried apt-get remove of linuxcnc and then apt-get install, but following that, even the sims do not work. How do I completely remove 2.8.0-pre and install 2.8 released? 2.8 has not been released yet. 2.7 is the latest stable release, is that what you want? To get that you have to do this: * Edit your apt sources in /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list, find the line that gets 2.8 debs from the linuxcnc buildbot, and comment it out. Also make sure you have a line that gets 2.7 debs, either from www.linuxcnc.org (if you only want the officially released 2.7 builds) or from the buildbot (if you want the "developer" builds of 2.7 that come in between the official releases). * Run "apt-get update" to refresh your machine's list of available packages. * Manually remove the 2.8~pre debs and install the 2.7 debs. The easiest way to do this is probably "apt-get remove linuxcnc" (to remove whatever version you currently have installed) followed by "apt-get install linuxcnc" (to install the latest known version, which should now be 2.7). -- Sebastian Kuzminsky -- 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
[Emc-users] Upgrade 2.8.0 pre to 2.8
All, I installed linuxcnc 2.8.0-pre to Xubuntu 12.04, and was running for some time. I seemed to have upgraded something I should not. The sim configurations worked, but the default 7i43-small just locks up with no error message. Nothing responds. Can only power off computer. I tried apt-get remove of linuxcnc and then apt-get install, but following that, even the sims do not work. How do I completely remove 2.8.0-pre and install 2.8 released?
