In the xml file, there were two "placeholder" widgets defined at the bottom of the last saved file. I nuked them while I was restoring "sensitivity" because all the buttons were dead, using geany. I then proceeded to run linuxcnc and expand it till the tabbed window "full info" showed 893 pixel wide and 673 high. The camera image followed without the fault exit. Its shaky at certain settings, but its not commiting suicide any more. I can actually use it I believe. But first I have to learn how to use all the alignment buttons that can bring into play.
So I'll go away, and later today will make a mounting bracket for the encoder that arrived Monday. This one, a 1000 line, will be on the spindle motors back shaft I made already. But the Z signal will still come from the disk on the spindle. And my hal file grows some more. :) > > Chris M > > ________________________________ > From: Gene Heskett <[email protected]> > > > 2.7 > > glade-gtk2, the editor/composer also suffers from this, it went away > with a segfault just now, while it was about once a minute, resizing > the camera output above the row of control buttons.
