Re: [Machinekit] hal_init() failed: -12

The trouble with these error codes is they are printed by a generic error function, which just gives the function within which the error arose and the return value. To get a proper log you need to wipe /var/log/linuxcnc.log before you start sudo echo "" > /var/log/linuxcnc.log will do it run with DEBUG=5 machinekit Then you will hopefully get a traceback and much better picture of what led to the error. Any segfaults should have more info appearing in /var/log/dmesg If there is a core dump into the PWD, so much the better. The only downside to the extra logging, is that if you are doing long prints with a card that is short of space, that could in itself cause problems. See what you can come up with. regards On 22/03/17 09:26, 'Marco Negrini' via Machinekit wrote: Hi all, sometimes my machnekit crash while running, this is what happens: suddently in the terminal, the machinekit process starts writing: halcmd: hal_init() failed : -12 NOTE: rtapi module must be loaded it happens more likely when i start a new print or when i resume (after pause) one. while the terminal writes this the machine keep working correctly, but any halcmd command i try to use returns the error above once i let this run for a while, it ended up with a seg fault and everything closed... doing research i found post talking about the -22 error, but i don't think it is my case, or other post talking about problem starting machinekit, but, the first 2 o 3 prints end succesfully, so i think it is not a problem during the start. -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
