Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Linuxcnc Crashed?

Todd;

Its generally considered "poor form" to update a machine without rebooting it. 
That then is also assuming the machine has access to the net to do an update. 
So I'd reboot it and run as root ldconfig, and reboot it again to get it clean 
as in running on the latest libraries and such, update it again just to be 
sure, and reboot it if anything else was updated before loading another job. If 
its not on your local network with access to the internet, take it a cable so 
it can access the repo's when you run synaptic-pkexec as the first user (user 
1000) (and give it the first users passwd).

This smells a lot like an incompleted update. But if the first error in the the 
posted log returns, "Router Motor Fault", it sounds like one of the servo's or 
the router (spindle?) motor is getting funkity.  Check them all for mechanical 
drag etc. Maybe the brushes in that motor are shot?

Cheers, Gene Heskett

The "Router Motor Fault" Is an error message I've created.  It is set when a 
certain input goes true while the spindles are running.  This machine is a 
multi-spindle gang router with 6 Porter cable routers.  We've had so much 
trouble with those accursed routers crapping out in the middle of a run and 
wreaking all sorts of destruction because of it.  So we rigged up current 
detectors on each routers power line to detect when one of them takes a shit.  
Usually it is just brushes that need replaced but not always.  This system of 
detecting motor faults on that machine predates using Linuxcnc on it by about 
10 years.  All I did was hook it up to Linuxcnc.
