login with your username & password

This error-ed for me should cnccontroller be the user name ie in my case usr and psw is cnc

I assumed, from your screenshot, that cnccontroller was your user name.
usr is a very poor choice for a Linux username.
If you did not create a user with the username cnccontroller where is this coming from ?
It does not seem right that the installer created a user with that name.
When you installed did you format the partition you were installing to ?
What user name did you use to login into the console terminal with ?
What was the exact error you got, simply saying error’d out does not give any information at all and makes it impossible to know what the issue is and fix it?
Is your home partition on the same partition as / ?
Or is your /home mounted as a separate partition ?
What is the output of of There appears to be something very wrong with the installation.

Sorry for any confusion. I don't see cnccontroller in the screenshot. My usr name is cnc and psw is cnc ie both are cnc

I generally use this when setting a machine up then put a stronger psw in later.

I am going through the install again without setting the login to auto. As it is easy to do once it is all installed

If you want me to stop posting on this I will not be offended.

Edit: Everything went to plan. Thanks for all the work you have put in.

can you post a copy of the deps list? the build i dl has readme but doesn't mention SRC release building.

A rip install would probably be the best option so to keep the original install all good.

Here's the list I use: forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...xcnc?start=50#157948

Do you have a

Code:

$HOME/utils/bin

directory ?
If you do the file you want should be in there.

Did you download this version forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...xcnc?start=60#158193 or a previous one or MATE RTAI or any of the XFCE ones ?

fresh linuxmint-19.2.0-LCNC-2.8-RT-27022020-UEFI-mate-64bit just installing now, are there any handy instructions on the SRC build process? I have been using the ones at gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/uspace/linuxmint19-emc.html
but unsure if there are correct for this build

Sorry Clive I got a bit confused with you tivoi having the same issues. :silly:

My apologies to all.
