11:17 AM fragalot: 'sup
11:56 AM matic292: hey
11:57 AM matic292: anyone installed LinuxCNC on Lubuntu or any other flavour of ubuntu?
11:57 AM matic292: I'm having trouble installing it ...
11:58 AM rmu: matic292: what is the problem
11:58 AM matic292: Reboot, and make sure you boot into the rtai kernel. When you log in, verify that the kernel name is 3.4-9-rtai-686-pae.
11:58 AM matic292: i follow that step
11:59 AM matic292: and i have Generic 4.x.x.x
11:59 AM matic292: not that kernel ..
11:59 AM matic292: and when i try to install i got errors
11:59 AM gregcnc: Holy crap!! why does speedymetals want 30$/Lb for Ø3"x 1/2" wall 6061 tube?
12:00 PM rmu: matic292: what guide do you follow
12:00 PM matic292: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/getting-started/getting-linuxcnc.html
12:00 PM matic292: 7.2. Installing on Ubuntu Precise
12:00 PM matic292: it says it can be installed on Lubuntu as well
12:02 PM rmu: yes, that should not matter, but ubuntu precise is obsolete methinks
12:03 PM rmu: 18:56 < matic292> and when i try to install i got errors
12:03 PM rmu: what errors?
12:05 PM matic292: a second please
12:07 PM matic292_: linuxcnc : Depends: libboost-python1.46.1 (>= 1.46.1-1) but it is not installable
12:07 PM matic292_: The following packages have unmet dependencies: linuxcnc : Depends: libboost-python1.46.1 (>= 1.46.1-1) but it is not installable Depends: libgnomeprint2.2-0 (>= 2.17.0) but it is not installable Depends: libgnomeprintui2.2-0 (>= 2.17.0) but it is not installable Depends: python-support (>= 0.90.0) but it is not installable Depends: python2.7-imaging but it is not installable or
12:08 PM matic292_: and if i ~$ uname -r it says 4.18.0-17-generic
12:10 PM rmu: matic292: that is not possible. ubuntu precise is from 2012, there that should come with kernel 3.13.something
12:12 PM matic292: I have dont everything step by step as it says but here im stuck now ..
12:12 PM matic292: seems like its possible?
12:12 PM matic292: I have downloaded the latest Lubuntu.
12:13 PM rmu: matic292: you need lubuntu 12.04
12:13 PM rmu: precise pangolin
12:13 PM rmu: 7 yeatrs old and not updated any more
12:15 PM matic292: Oh i havent found that information before :D
12:15 PM matic292: I will try with this one than
12:15 PM matic292: is there any lighter OS for Linuxcnc ? I would like to run on light as possible
12:16 PM rmu: just use the normal debian wheezy image
12:16 PM matic292: Now i have setup with CPU E5400, external 512mb GPU, 3GB DDR2 ram and 16GB SSD
12:16 PM matic292: it would run more smoothly on wheezy image than on Lubuntu ?
12:17 PM gregcnc: use the live disc to test latency
12:18 PM rmu: matic292: it shouldn't make much difference
12:18 PM rmu: matic292: the realtime stuff doesn't care at all (if it works), so machine performance is not affected, and GUIs should be fast enough on that machine
12:19 PM rmu: matic292: just don't install stuff you don't need
12:19 PM matic292: I'm having wheezy on other machine with old mini-itx but GUI is very laggy when big G-CODE file is opened
12:20 PM matic292: i dont know which to install now hmmm
12:20 PM rmu: matic292: the distribution won't affect that
12:21 PM gloops: im using a dinosaur dell optiplex, wheezy install runs fine for me
12:21 PM Jymmm: matic292_: how much ram, and it sounds like video might be sharing ram too
12:21 PM gloops: 50000 + lines, i dont know if thats considered big or not
12:21 PM matic292: on miniitx is now 2GB ram and intergrated videocard
12:22 PM rmu: matic292: what kind of videocard? does it have accelerated opengl?
12:23 PM matic292: Now i'm building better setup which is : Pentium Dual-Core E5400, Radeon HD 5450 512mb GPU, 3GB DDR2 ram and 16GB SSD.
12:23 PM gloops: yeah get a £D card and 4 gig ram
12:23 PM Jymmm: onboard video is usually the worse thing, adding a video and disabling the internal one can help.
12:23 PM gloops: 3D
12:23 PM matic292: Would this PC be good for running LinxuCNC?
12:24 PM matic292: Or should i upgrade anything on it ?
12:24 PM gregcnc: maybe, it's easiest to test with the Live disc or from USB
12:24 PM rmu: matic292: i'm running an instance on something similar, dual core athlon mit 6gig ram and built in radeon, performs fine
12:26 PM matic292: Ok i will make new install and test it out. Hopefully will be OK this setup :)
12:27 PM matic292: Is anyone using this GUI?
12:27 PM matic292: https://forum.linuxcnc.org/41-guis/34996-another-gui-project-underway?start=190#129954
12:30 PM matic292: I know how to use pre installed GUI's
12:31 PM matic292: but i dont find any documentation how can i add GUI as the above one
12:31 PM Jymmm: matic292_: you dont want to use axis?
12:34 PM matic292: I really love this GUI: https://forum.linuxcnc.org/41-guis/34996-another-gui-project-underway?start=0
12:34 PM matic292: The design is perfect
12:35 PM Jymmm: then why dont you contact him/her and use it?
12:37 PM matic292: Just asking if anyone know how to install any other GUI
12:37 PM matic292: for now i have used GMOCCAPY
12:38 PM rmu: matic292: you have to install master from source
02:23 PM gloops: chances of getting this for 300... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Metal-Turning-Lathe/333149037515?
02:24 PM fragalot: gloops: same chance of you getting your potato thing back
02:25 PM gloops: so theres still a chance then
02:25 PM fragalot: not with 9d to go :D
02:26 PM gloops: i was going to seriously go for this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173863715359?
02:27 PM gloops: but still under the reserve, i reckon hes got quite a lot on it
02:27 PM gloops: i know they are good lathes
02:28 PM gloops: although not to say that is a good example
02:34 PM fragalot: I thought you weren't allowed more machines
02:36 PM gloops: im ditching the old lathe at some point
02:36 PM gloops: i cant faff about with it anymore
02:37 PM gloops: (so will be space for another one)
02:37 PM fragalot: :D
02:39 PM gloops: boxford, harrison...possibly myford, or anything else thats useable local and cheap
02:39 PM gloops: but no rush
03:37 PM Tom_L: matic292, that lsst gui you posted isn't finished i think
03:38 PM XXCoder: who was making the gui for toolchanger thing?
03:39 PM Tom_L: Lcvette and hazzy-m
03:39 PM Tom_L: maybe a few others
03:39 PM XXCoder: lol ok. wanted to let them know i discovered a machine with 30 tools. dont think that number was listed but could be wrong.
03:40 PM Tom_L: how likely will it be linuxcnc'able though?
03:40 PM XXCoder: dunno its a doosan
04:15 PM gloops: fragalot https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Amada-Pega-344-CNC-Punching-Machine/163639561667?
04:15 PM Deejay: gn8
04:16 PM gloops: bid 1k, tell the boss you found the ideal punching setup for 8k
04:16 PM fragalot: wouldn't call it ideal
04:18 PM gloops: £1000, its up to the job
04:20 PM fragalot: i'd still pass for the type of work we have
04:20 PM fragalot: need a more modern controller at the least
09:27 PM _unreal_: hello any one around
09:28 PM norias: no
09:32 PM _unreal_: damn
09:32 PM _unreal_: working on compiling my RT kernel
09:32 PM norias: good luck
09:33 PM infornography: RT Gentoo
09:33 PM norias: I'm trying to learn R
09:33 PM norias: so, I have no sympathy
09:35 PM _unreal_: https://photos.app.goo.gl/GvprVxFfbKAWY7VR7
09:36 PM _unreal_: my control computer the tinkerboard trying to get linuxcnc built on it soon as I get the RT setup
09:36 PM norias: neat
09:36 PM _unreal_: I sell them now and then
09:36 PM norias: actually kind of impressed, tbh
09:38 PM _unreal_: its at the right angle as well
09:38 PM _unreal_: so its a nice work station display for CNC
09:38 PM _unreal_: I have the 7" touch
09:40 PM norias: put on Lateralus and coffee
09:40 PM norias: or fuck off to bed
09:40 PM norias: i'm not sure
09:40 PM infornography: whats that shell made from?
09:40 PM infornography: Is that fiberglass?
09:41 PM _unreal_: yes fiberglass
09:41 PM _unreal_: ve or epoxy what ever I choose
09:41 PM _unreal_: very light
09:41 PM _unreal_: very VERY strong
09:42 PM infornography: It needs to be 70s green, that would be way groovy
09:42 PM infornography: It would have the old scifi look
09:44 PM infornography: where do you sell them?
09:44 PM roycroft: avocado green?
09:45 PM infornography: yes
09:45 PM _unreal_: infornography, I can do that easy
09:45 PM roycroft: my '70s house had mustard yellow appliances
09:45 PM _unreal_: the last one I sold. was deep blue with white racing stripes
09:46 PM _unreal_: whish I had taken a picture
09:46 PM roycroft: but i've seen a lot of avocado green appliances
09:46 PM _unreal_: roycroft, ya they where called apple something's
09:47 PM infornography: My Aunt had an avocado green mixer that lasted 30+ years. I was very memorable
09:48 PM norias: coffee wins
09:48 PM roycroft: to complete the nostalgia effect you'll need to find a big, ugly mushroom cookie jar
09:50 PM infornography: YES
09:53 PM _unreal_: norias SWEET
09:53 PM _unreal_: ner
09:54 PM infornography: oops
09:54 PM norias: f that
09:54 PM norias: thou shalt not commit the dreaded decaf
09:54 PM _unreal_: decaf coffie is like skim milk, WHY
09:54 PM infornography: So the DB25 at the rear is connected to the ... Protoneer?
10:00 PM infornography: I r confuse
10:01 PM infornography: but bed time
10:01 PM infornography: so long peeps
