The heating's come on today so it's probably expanded a bit but not that
much :-)

Hmmmmm.....
A) that doesn't explain the weird error message about axis.ngc.
B) the same position.txt works with 2.7.4
C) deleting position.txt doesn't fix either problem.
FWIW, position.txt contains:
211.51237592697140144
-82.01800169944763752
99.75883250664918478

I've just tried sim axis_mm.ini with 2.7.7 and it also generates the
spurious popup about "Bad character 'z' used" in axis.ngc :-(
Created a new user (to avoid config issues), logged in, ran 2.7.7 and
picked sim.axis/axis_mm...... same popup error message about "Bad
character 'z'" near line 12 in /usr/share/axis/images/axis.ngc.
If I try to open "/usr/share/axis/images/axis.ngc" from the File menu I
again get the error message.
If I try to open a previously used simple .ngc file, linuxcnc complains
that the tool (tool 1) isn't found in the tool table.... even though
tool 1 *is* plainly there if I edit the tooltable.
If I try to 'cut' axis.ngc, it wants me to home; I do that but X & Y go
from 0 to X -1.26e+58 and Y 3.11e+231. Click run again and it pauses.
When I click pause to continue, I get the error "can't do that
(EMC_TRAJ_SET_TELEOP_ENABLE) in auto mode with the interpreter idle".
Uninstalled 2.7.7 (apt-get remove --purge linuxcnc), reinstalled 2.7.4
(apt-get install linuxcnc=1:2.7.4) and, still as my new test user, fired
up linuxcnc with sim/axis_mm.ini.
No complaints about bad characters, no silly numbers on homing and the
sim happily 'cut' LinuxCNC as expected.
Just for fun, I tried 2.7.5 and it's borked in the same way as 2.7.7.
Tried building a git pull of linuxcnc-dev but configure fails saying
python is too old (2.7 needed; lucid has 2.6.5).
Somethings very broken with 2.7.5+ on lucid :-(
So... am I stuck on 2.7.4 ?
