New and Working RTAI debs for 2.9

Just installed the latest RTAI deb set (5.4.290-rtai-amd64) (packaged with linuxcnc 2.9.4) from the usual place: onelaboratories.us/abc/ and i must say the latency is about half what 5.4.279 was on my pc. Also the GUI doesn't lag on boot like it did with 5.4.279.  Running a couple tests:

1: histogram with 4 glxgears, stress-ng & 2 yt the servo thread was 16.7us and 12.9us base thread.

2: histogram & unigine heaven the highest 23.8us base and 23.4us servo thread as seen in the histogram here.

Win! Win!

Hi, can you detail how you managed it, since other users have had problems? I'm having problems with rtai-modules-5.4.290_5.3.3-linuxcnc_amd64.deb
Another detail is that when I try to remove linuxcnc, I get another error. It says: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Guys, I found here what I needed to solve the problem, but when I open LinuxCNC, the screen goes black and restarts to the user login. However, I don't know if this is normal or if there is a problem, so I prefer to restart the machine.        forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...ue-with-2-9-4#327437        

The 5.4.290 kernel debs are bugged, I was hitting that problem too with the screen going black. I need to downgrade the kernel and freeze the repo as there will be no more RTAI development. In the mean time, use the 5.4.279 kernel debs. 5.4.290 is broken. The latency test and everything else works, including the LinuxCNC sim, however when running an actual machine with 5.4.290, the system does indeed crash. I need to find the last working 5.4 kernel and make a few more changes to Kconfig, after that, RTAI will be considered frozen.
