Single-cut doesn't work after upgrading to latest QtPlasmac
I have tracked it down to qtplasma_handler generates movement such as 'G53 G0 X123.456 Y234.567' for single_cut.ngc
but this isn't properly handled by qtplasma_gcode. If I go in and modify the movements to 'G53 G00 X..' then it works fine again.
I checked the code and I don't understand everything but it seems like G0,G1 will be transformed into G00,G01 and then used, but that fails when there is a G53 first on the line. Or something along those lines. A saw there were massive changes in this code section so here is feedback that this part need mending.
I can fix it and run-in-place, but I rather use the debian-delivered version. Trying to keep it as standard as possible.

The gcode filter changed a bit recently, seems like single cut slipped through the cracks.

Hakan,I can fix it and run-in-place, but I rather use the debian-delivered version. Trying to keep it as standard as possible.
The version iin Debian 12 (Bookworm) is a snapshot from a few months ago. Debian locks a release so it cant be upgraded. Its possible that the issue has been fixed. Fotunately we have a buildbot now for Debian Bookworm and its fully documented in the getting linuxcnc chpater.
Please follow these steps to link to the buildbot to upgrade to the latest version.
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/getting-start...an_bookworm_x86_only
Then if QTplasmac (or any part of Linuxcnc 2.9) is upgraded, you just need to do an apt upgrade once the buildbot has done its job.

As I mentioned, the gcode filter changed recently and this slipped through the cracks. I didnt specifically mention it, but I checked out commit 2bd4f00 which is the one right before the gcode filter changes, and single cut works fine.Then I suspect the error has been there for a while because he said:
Since the beginning part of OP's sentence you quoted was: "I can fix it and run-in-place,". I took that to mean he was referring to RIP vs Package install.

Yeah, debian-based, I checked that and I have followed instructions and use the buildbot so I meant to say that instead of debian-based.
I mean I prefer a ready package instead of building it myself.
I most have forgotten about that during the struggle to get rid of the "Error finishing read". Tried many 6 kernels, 5 kernels and now I am at 4.19.288 which works fine. Thankfully a "Error finishing read" didn't mean a crash, but still annoying.

No worries, sorry I broke it earlier... and it works over here. Thanks.
I figured that from you saying that you did an upgrade as there are no upgrades from Debian yet.Yeah, debian-based, I checked that and I have followed instructions and use the buildbot so I meant to say that instead of debian-based.

Great its going for you now...I most have forgotten about that during the struggle to get rid of the "Error finishing read". Tried many 6 kernels, 5 kernels and now I am at 4.19.288 which works fine. Thankfully a "Error finishing read" didn't mean a crash, but still annoying.
The EFR is a real nuisance. PCW says its mostly fixed in 6.4. The 6.5 RT patch was released today so I will give the 6.5 kernel a go soon.
I finally got sick of Windows breaking, I bought another SSD today and am planning on dual booting Debian and giving the WIndows a flick unless I really need it! Once I get that bedded down, I'll give it a go.
