First things first.

Apologies to Andy for not replaying directly to list.


1:2.8.0.39.g76260b4f7 installs the links under cnc, whether you get sub
menus will depend on your menu applet, mintMenu doesn't, this is the
default menu applet with Mint.

Changing the menu Applet for Mint Mate "fixes" things.

Adding Main menu to the panel in Mint does get you submenus

Adding Menu bar to the panel in Mint does get you submenus, this is a
similar layout to the default menu in debian XFCE.


sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://linuxcnc.org/ buster base 2.8-rtpreempt'

Works without having to redirect

I was under the impression the Desktop enviroments were more or less
shell agnostic.

echo deb http://linuxcnc.org/ buster base 2.8-rtpreempt | sudo tee -a
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxcnc.list

Works fine under Mint 19.3 with MATE desktop, so I wouldn't be so quick
to blame MATE and call it broken.

This line corrupts the terminal session by some kind of redirect of
stdin and when I try and install LinuxCNC apt simply aborts after the
Y/n question.
Maybe we should just state that Mate is clearly broken in many ways
and shouldn't be used.

The line above works exactly as expected in Debian. Does Mate use some
unusual shell or other?

I just did a fresh install of the debian 10 livecd with xfce - worked as
