I think I screwed up the upgrade because I did the
Run System/Administration/Synaptic Package Manager step
before the you'll need to add my gpg key to the list of keys step.
Now when I try and run EMC I get the splash screen and EMC is running
but the tkemc display does not come up.
When I try
Hello,
after upgrading from 2.1.7 to 2.2.0 (via synaptic packet manager, as
recommended in the wiki) i tried the puma example which leads to this:

Try running emc from the terminal/prompt. It will give you more error
information. I'm not sure how you have it installed on your system but
try /usr/bin/emc.
Also:
ls -l /usr/bin | grep nml
will show you all the nml files in /usr/bin.

Hi Ian
Yes you can mix steppers and step-and-direction servo. EMC won't know
the difference but there is an additional step tuning the 320.

Thanks to all who have replied - both on and off list. I'd better start
reading up - and being nice to the domestic chancellor!!

The difference between theory and practice is much smaller in theory than in

I have posted the steps I used to install EMC2 CVS HEAD version on
Ubuntu 7.10. There may be mistakes in it, and redundancies, but it
appears to work - well, except it has to run as root to avoid halcmd
segfaulting.
If anyone has any comments or spots any mistakes I would love to hear
them.
Thanks!
One comment - you could put this on the EMC2 wiki ;)

I'll do that when I have more confidence my steps will work for other
people as well. :)

Sigh...can't seem to find it now - but I didn't guess at any of the
options, I know that for sure.
So, it isn't a requirement for EMC2 or RTAI?

With the stock Gutsy kernel my NIC works fine. With any vanilla kernel

and switched my NIC for a 9 year old one, I was so far along in the
source process that I wanted to finish it rather than switch to the debs.

Regardless it was a recommendation from an EMC2 installation procedure
from elsewhere (Fedora perhaps?).

I'm pleased to announce the first bugfix release of the EMC 2.2 series,
EMC 2.2.1. This release fixes several important packaging problems, as
well as a problem frequently encountered by users upgrading from 2.1.7.
The new packages are now available in the Ubuntu package repository.

Not that I know of. I generally turn it off anyway because I don't
think it should be necessary.
No rush on finding that page.
Andy,
Thanks for the reply. I missed the step of replacing the .var file. Too many
interuptions while I was upgrading. It works fine now.
Thanks

Hi. Thanks for documenting this process, it looks pretty similar to

I am curious why you chose this option:

With this option, I would have expected that emc can only be run once
per reboot, a pretty nasty limitation.

I wonder if this is supposed to be the forced module unloading option.

Interesting. If you can find a link to that page, I'd like to see it.
