I think it is good way if emc starts the spindle automatically on the start
from line.
By this way we prevent crash if user forget to start the spindle.
Maybe we need to have special variable in INI file?

I used one that looked like the original xbox joysticks. Cost $20 at best buy
and relatively easy to setup. I use it *a lot*! I can send you my files if you
want. A quick edit to your ini file and you are underway.

I am a command line guy too. I'm not sure why you want the text login over the
default gnome login, though I do understand the desire for a more lightweight
window manager like XFCE or to have EMC be a full screen window and hide the
window manager extras.
Apt-get install your desired window ma
I originally tried to do something like that, but there were so many places
that gdm was launched. I eventually got it working, but then rebuilt my
system. The interactive tool is services-admin, which you can turn gdm with
one click.

Thanks for testing it for me. I've just upgraded, firstly from 2.3.1 to
2.3.4, and it still complains. Then I grabbed the latest out of git and
that works. Looks like something has been fixed.

now, but I found a forum that shows how to do it from the command line:

There is a GUI utility that can enable/disable things. That's how I set my
system up to boot to a command prompt (then I use startx manually). There
is an X application, and also a text (curses) based one too, but I can't
remember their names, or which one did it.

OK, I haven't messed around with it in a while, so it seems that I'm
going to have to relearn everything all over again.
I hate it when distro's break with tradition. A decade and a half of
experience down the tubes!
I'll see what I can google.

That won't quite work. Ubuntu, and most Debian-based distributions, no

As for setting the windowmanager to fluxbox, it's been too long since
I've messed with windowmanagers.

It requires an option to be turned on, and then you have to manually
start the spindle
before doing the start from line. That option allows a

When calling an o-word subroutine, does the subroutine have to be in the
current file?
I was under the impression that it would locate the subroutine in the
nc_files path?
For example, my Gcode file...

would automatically look in nc_files for "turn
