Re: [Emc-users] EMC2 newbie stuck
Found the the root of the problem I described last week. I was using X11 forwarding to communicate between my pc and the EMC2 host machine. I figured this was a way to reduce the number of monitors/mice I had to have cluttering up my work area. For some reason that is what broke EMC2. After changing to RealVNC/remote desktop things seem to be working.

Re: [Emc-users] Latency test numbers confusing
Neil Baylis wrote: OK, so I started up the computer, then waited 1/2 hour. Then I ran the latency test for 1/2 hour with no abuse, and the latency was below 7 microseconds. I have plenty of other computers, so I certainly don't need to be doing anything else on my EMC box when it's running EMC. The problem is EMC, ITSELF, abuses the computer a bit by running a 3-D display in the Axis GUI. That takes considerable resources, and unless you will be running the GUI on another computer, or won't be using Axis, you need to simulate that load to get an accurate reading. Also, network interfaces can cause DMA block transfers and CPU interrupts. Clearly, you don't need video players, music players, etc. for CNC.

Before running EMC2,reboot and choose this kernel at the boot menu. when i reboot and choose the ratai kernel,then the computer can not go on. so i can not use the EMC2.
