Gene you are implying that gladeVCP is not stable, based on a single faulty widget.
That widget is in fact NOT part of official linuxcnc and uses a fairly obscure library and is not active maintained. Unfortunately we are in a 'perfect storm' for stability and maintainability. Python QT and GTK have new versions that break old programs (GTK3 much worse) and python is also switching from 2 to 3, breaking old libraries. I would suggest leaving gladeVCP as gtk2 for as long as possible even if we have to maintain a glade-GTK2 libraries of our own. anything new probably should use the most current libraries we can reasonably be assured are available in Debian , Ubuntu and Mint (The seemingly three favorite distributions). Gene - the other things you asked about buttons that can change color and text are available in gladevcp - hal_light buttons - though i'm not sure if they are in 2.7 But lets try and leave the discussion on topic please - future decisions.

The gladevcp buttons at the bottom of that window also go away at the same time, and at the instant it fails, logs this to the terminal that started LCNC. /usr/bin/gladevcp:295: Warning: g_object_ref: assertion `object->ref_count > 0' failed gtk.main() ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
