Re: [Emc-users] .deb of CVS?

Hi Rob, updates which you get automagically won't screw your install. We only provide automatic updates for the same release branch of emc2 (so if you have emc2.2.2 you'll get automatic updates for 2.2.3, 2.2.4, 2.2.5, etc, but you won't get automatic updates from 2.1.x to 2.2.x, or to 2.3.x -

[Emc-users] Installing on Hardy Heron

Hi all, any chances of geting EMC to work in hardy heron? My current "swarf" machine has serious latency problems, and was planning to change to my main ubuntu box, but I cannot downgrade this ubuntu to dapper drake. The problem I'm having is with the current python version: (free translation fr

Re: [Emc-users] Installing on Hardy Heron

Hi Jaime EMC2 version 2.2.5 is running here on a couple machines with Hardy. The python version on both is 2.5.2. I did install from the EMC2-CD http://www.linuxcnc.org/hardy/ubuntu-8.04-desktop-emc2-aj07-i386.iso for the last one but used the install script from linuxcnc.org for the first.

Re: [Emc-users] .deb of CVS?

I'm with Alex on this. I've installed every automagic update of the EMC2 and had no problems that I can remember. (short memory?) The folk who make and test these know what they are doing. I've also used the upgrade path to move from 2.1 to 2.2 and had to rebuild my custom configs. That takes

[Emc-users] EMC2 on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron LTS - official announcement

As most of you probably know, the latest version of Ubuntu has been released a couple weeks ago: Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. (http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-8.04-lts-desktop) As it is another LTS release (3 year support on the Desktop version - which we use), we consider that it's important to h

[Emc-users] OT: Synergy

Now that my Shizuoka is functional, I would like to try making a test work piece. I would like it to have 3D compound curves, like the Tux example, but with much higher resolution. I was thinking I could use Synergy to create the part, but the help system in Synergy is frustrating for me to use. I

Kirk, I've been using synergy quite a bit for the last few weeks, and I'm beginning to get the hang of it. You mention starting a web page... I think a mail list or wiki of some sort would be very helpful for Synergy. I think Dave Engvall has mentioned this before, too. Synergy is kind of hard t

Re: [Emc-users] Installing on Hardy Heron

Hi Ray, and thanks! This all happened today or you managed to make it run with the older version? No need to answer just sheer curiosity... felt crazy with all the references to Dapper in the linuxcnc.org page until I read the message announcing the release. Will try tomorrow morning, hopefully I

Re: [Emc-users] Installing on Hardy Heron

Hi Jaime I've been pushing for the release for a couple weeks and they finally got it ready. I've downloaded it but not tested the final version. I'm sure that it should be good. Try it first in live boot mode and see how it works. If it seems to be okay then install it. Hope this helps R

Re: [Emc-users] Installing on Hardy Heron

The fact of multiple distributions is one of the best and the worst features of Linux. It's good because it tends to keep all of them on their toes when it comes to things like quality and ease of install and bug fixes and updates. It is bad because each distribution uses different versions of s
