05:42 AM jthornton: morning
07:21 AM kalidem[m]: Hi , can I run QtPyVPC with only 1280*1024 resolution monitor ?
07:24 AM jthornton: you can make your size what ever you want
07:36 AM kalidem[m]: I'm trying but only Blender and Mini VCP's fits in the monitor
07:39 AM kalidem[m]: looks like the nice gui works on 16/9 monitors
07:41 AM jthornton: I mean you can create a GUI for any size screen, the examples may not fit your monitor
07:45 AM kalidem[m]: ok, I understand, I have to learn more about create a GUI, thanks
07:46 AM hazzy-m: kalidem: ProbeBasic only works on a 1920x1080 monitor right now, but I think Lcvette plans to make a smaller version eventually
07:47 AM hazzy-m: Morning from frozen Niagara falls!
08:04 AM jthornton: morning, can you ice skate on it?
08:04 AM jthornton: kalidem[m], there are some tutorials in the docs
08:11 AM kalidem[m]: I'm going to read about modify the GUI, or the easy way... buy a monitor 1080p xDD
08:27 AM jthornton: kalidem[m], I have some examples like my mill touch that is 1280 x 768

11:20 AM TurBoss: Hello
11:21 AM Tom_itx: hi
11:22 AM TurBoss: any issues with the PB removal?
11:22 AM TurBoss: removal migration
11:31 AM TurBoss: https://github.com/kcjengr/probe_basic
11:44 AM roguish[m]: hazzy: to answer your question of yesterday. yes, my mill has a pneumatic assist for the knee. it's a Bridgeports Series II. the entire knee assembly probably weighs as much as a complete regular BP. and there are no manual handles on any axes.
11:54 AM Lcvette: kalidem: probe basic is setup specifically to take advantage of a wide screen 1080p monitors, it will require some significant modifications to make for smaller screens. But you can modify it, just need to decide what is critical for the main screen and remove items you can live without. For me, I prefer the design as a wide screen, just has more useable interface size.

12:02 PM TurBoss: thanks
02:40 PM derOj: hello and greetings from germany :-P
02:41 PM derOj: i have some trouble installing probe_basic
02:41 PM derOj: i tried this instrutions https://kcjengr.github.io/probe_basic/dev_install.html
02:41 PM derOj: i run linux 19.1 mint with preempt and linux 2.8.0 pre~1
02:42 PM derOj: but when i start Linuxcnc there's no tag under the sim, or elsewhere with "probe_basic"...
02:46 PM Lcvette: derOj: I think you didn't follow the instructions.. :)
02:46 PM Tom_itx: is mint the same install as stretch or buster?
02:47 PM Lcvette: You need to read the instructions in between the code lines as there are steps that are required
02:47 PM Tom_itx is now known as Tom_L
02:48 PM Lcvette: In this case I think you failed to run LinuxCNC in-between some steps maybe
02:48 PM deroj: what do you mean "between the code lines" ? the ones that say "log off and on"..."press Y when asked to"....?
02:49 PM Lcvette: Yes
02:49 PM Lcvette: Make sure you follow all of those
02:50 PM TurBoss: hello
02:50 PM TurBoss: how do you launch linuxcnc?
02:50 PM TurBoss: did you used a provided ini file or used your own?
02:51 PM deroj: i launch LCNC with the configuration launcher and try to use a sim....yet, i have no own config
02:52 PM deroj: as it says in the instructions :-P
02:52 PM TurBoss: ok
02:53 PM TurBoss: try to run linuxcnc followed by the path to probe_basic sim ini
02:53 PM Lcvette: cp -r ~/probe_basic/config/xyzab/ ~/linuxcnc/configs/
02:53 PM Lcvette: Did you run this?
02:54 PM deroj: i ran all of them
02:54 PM deroj: i just started to redo it from beginning
02:54 PM Lcvette: This should have copied xyzab to the Linux CNC config
02:54 PM Lcvette: That's the probe basic Sim
02:54 PM Lcvette: Config
02:55 PM deroj: yes. i tried to use xyzab...a screen came up but i coudn't movie it arround. after few seconds i got realtime error
02:55 PM Lcvette: Not sure then
02:55 PM Lcvette: Try running again
02:55 PM Lcvette: Or try of out log in
02:58 PM deroj: under step 5 i got errors
02:58 PM deroj: when pip install --editable
02:59 PM deroj: "failed building wheel for docopt"
03:00 PM deroj: ...for psutil, ...for pyopengl, for pyqtgraph, pyudev, pyYAML
03:00 PM Lcvette: TurBoss (@TurBoss:matrix.org): ?
03:01 PM Lcvette: Maybe the reps for mint are different
03:01 PM Lcvette: Deps
03:01 PM TurBoss: hmmmm
03:02 PM TurBoss: must be a missing dot in te commandline
03:02 PM TurBoss: pip install -e .
03:07 PM deroj: i typed it in...just forgot to write it here...
03:14 PM TurBoss: ohok
03:15 PM deroj: when i run the xyzab config and klick on "about qt...." i get error...check the YAML config file...where to find?
05:23 PM Lcvette: TurBoss (@TurBoss:matrix.org): TurBoss (@TurBoss:matrix.org) could this be from the changes in qtpyvcp that were recently pushed?
05:24 PM TurBoss: the about error?
05:24 PM TurBoss: its old
05:24 PM Lcvette: Oh
05:24 PM TurBoss: I'm trying to add it
05:24 PM Lcvette: Ok

06:34 PM * TurBoss is about to fix pb dialogs now
06:34 PM Lcvette: roguish: lcvette is busy, its holiday season, trying to keep above water with some new products I'm trying to bring to market
06:35 PM TurBoss: keep busy
06:36 PM TurBoss: is that how is said?¿
06:36 PM TurBoss: :P
06:36 PM Lcvette: Overly busy
06:36 PM Lcvette: That's why I've been absent recently
06:43 PM roguish[m]: Lcvette: too busy is way better than not busy enough ...
06:48 PM hazzy-m: Yo
06:48 PM Lcvette: Unfortunately, this type of busy won't pay until probably March of next year
06:49 PM * hazzy-m is back in Montréal
06:49 PM Lcvette: o/
06:50 PM TurBoss: hello!
06:50 PM roguish[m]: hazzy: jet setting again ???

06:51 PM roguish[m]: and airplane disease.
06:54 PM hazzy-m: No, just drove 8hrs to Niagara spent the night and drove 8hrs back to Montréal lol
06:56 PM hazzy-m: Trying to fit in some tourism so the Germans don’t get tired of coming all the way over here just to work
06:57 PM Lcvette: Sounds like they will get tired of driving..lol
06:58 PM hazzy-m: I know I am LoL
06:59 PM hazzy-m: But is a once in a lifetime opportunity for them
07:06 PM TurBoss: Lcvette: I fixed the dialogs
07:06 PM TurBoss: pushed to my fork
07:06 PM TurBoss: can you test?
07:12 PM TurBoss: I made it load a ui file
07:12 PM Lcvette: I will test when I'm back from my parents
07:12 PM TurBoss: okay!

07:27 PM Lcvette: What's the dialogs
07:27 PM Lcvette: The error messages?
07:27 PM Lcvette: \o/
07:29 PM TurBoss: the about dialogs shoun in menu
07:29 PM Lcvette: Ah
07:31 PM Lcvette: Did you pay fixed for the errors already?
07:31 PM Lcvette: Push*
07:31 PM Lcvette: Being off the screen
07:37 PM Lcvette: I was just thinking about the installation method for qtpyvcp/probe basic, I think if I remember correctly, hazzy said that they pip install method doesn't allow copying files which was one of the issues with the font in probe basic as well as the config files making it into the linuxcnc directory and the font file directory, is that correct?
07:38 PM Lcvette: Hazzy turboss?
07:39 PM TurBoss: hmmmmm
07:39 PM TurBoss: not sure
07:40 PM Lcvette: I remember that pip installed everything in hidden directories that were not easily accessible
07:40 PM Lcvette: I was wondering if that could be remedied with some form of user permission?
07:40 PM Lcvette: Like when updating it all you to enter Y/N
07:41 PM Lcvette: To allow installing?
07:44 PM Lcvette: Hazzy?
07:44 PM Lcvette: Thoughts?
07:48 PM Lcvette: https://dev.to/elabftw/stop-using-sudo-pip-install-52mn
07:48 PM Lcvette: Maybe this helps?
07:49 PM TurBoss: use pip with sudo never was a good idea
07:49 PM TurBoss: it messes with python packages installed from apt
07:52 PM Lcvette: Yes
07:52 PM Lcvette: Pipenv
07:52 PM Lcvette: Does this allow access to the access installed files?
07:53 PM Lcvette: Just thinking that pip install is was much simpler then what we have now
07:53 PM Lcvette: Along with pip update
07:54 PM Lcvette: Might save some people some headaches going forward
07:54 PM TurBoss: maybe debs
07:55 PM Lcvette: The issue I had with the pip install of probe basic was no access to the installed to t file and it is not recognized stashed away in the probe basic font file
07:56 PM Lcvette: Also no access to the sim config
07:56 PM TurBoss: oh true
07:56 PM TurBoss: deb files require sudo install and can do all thoos things
07:56 PM Lcvette: Bit it seemed that adding those independently worked
07:56 PM Lcvette: Yes?
07:57 PM Lcvette: Bit I thought hazzy said Deb was a ptoblem
07:57 PM TurBoss: yes?
07:57 PM Lcvette: .deb
07:57 PM TurBoss: :/
07:57 PM Lcvette: You mean?
07:57 PM TurBoss: then duno...
07:57 PM Lcvette: Like how I install some other softwares?
07:58 PM Lcvette: Sudo something riot.deb
07:58 PM Lcvette: As example
07:58 PM TurBoss: ya deb not gud
07:58 PM Lcvette: I don't remember the exact syntax
07:59 PM Lcvette: Not good
07:59 PM Lcvette: Ok
07:59 PM Lcvette: So maybe a pipenv could work?
07:59 PM TurBoss: linuxcnc uses system python interpreter
08:00 PM TurBoss: but a virtual env doesn't have access to system packages unless you told to
08:07 PM Lcvette: So now way for pip to copy files to linuxcnc and makedir for font?
08:18 PM TurBoss: cant find any
08:19 PM TurBoss: run a script
08:30 PM TurBoss: I had a crazy idea xD
08:38 PM Lcvette: Yeah?
08:38 PM Lcvette: I'm walking in the door right now

09:30 PM TurBoss: 7b7080311dc61aafb26c6690f79aefcdadbdd469
09:32 PM Lcvette: does it just need the probe inputs boxes to be set to click focus?
09:57 PM TurBoss: is ok to push the revert ?
09:58 PM Lcvette: lcvette doesn't know
09:58 PM Lcvette: :o

10:00 PM TurBoss: it could be disabled in config
