Problem using emc2-install.sh

I've just gone through the painful process of upgrading 8.04 to 10.04 onto the Toshiba A30 laptop I use as a coding /viewing machine, and having got past the blank screen by installing an Intel driver ppa, and am now trying to add emc2.

Before the install of emc2 was complete, I got an error message that there was a broken package that would have to be mended.

"E:/var/cache/apt/archives/rtai-modules-2.6.32-122-rtai_3.8.1-linuxcnc1_i386.deb: trying to overwrite '/etc/udev/rules.d/99-rtai.rules', which is also in package rtai-modules-2.6.24-16-rtai 0"

was the detail, but as a newbie, I haven't the faintest idea how to move past this.

Can anybody help, or should I post into the ubuntu forum for help there ?

EDIT I added the posting to the Ubuntu forum, in case it's one for them rather than an EMC2 .

Is it as simple as removing the rtai-modules-2.6.24-16-rtai 0 package ?
Do I need this one ? Is it replaced by the newer one ?

I think I've found the solution by tracking down and reading the EMC documentation Wiki: Ubuntu10.04PackageNotes.
Under known problems is this very one.
Tomorrow will tell.

Yes, that seems to have done the trick.
So onward and upward, hopefully.
There ought to be an Emoticon for crossed fingers !

Hi Andy.
I remember an old saying "If you want to get there, I wouldn't start from here.......

Well, things didn't quite work out.

Having got EMC2 loaded several days ago, I've only just round to opening it.
Except that I haven't - opened it.
If i try opening the sim-axis I get an EMC2 splash window, then an Error window with a long page of info.

Rather than quote it all here, I believe there's a way of posting it without it showing (hidden) unless you click on it.
I've done it once before, but memory fails me (again !).
Can someone oblige with instructions, then I can add it.

John

Thanks John.
