Trouble changing from Gmoccapy to Axis

I upgraded today (last upgrade was before the Pierce Only/Pierce and Cut option). Ran make and id the configurator upgrade. I started LinuxCNC and got no errors using the Gmoccapy GUI. I wanted to try out the Axis GUI so made changes to my .ini file (commented out the Gmoccapy specific parts and added the Axis specific parts) and now I get an error - basically, there is no plasmac_run.cut-type pin. Changed the .ini file back to Gmoccapy GUI and everything works again.

When set up for Gmoccapy, HalShow does have a plasmac_run.cut-type pin.

This is a RIP installation, LinuxCNC 2.9. uname -a returns: Linux LinuxCNC 4.9.0-8-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 4.9.144-3.1 (2019-02-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have attached the error report, my .ini file (currently set for Axis), and my .hal file (no changes but just in case).

Axis requires a few more entries in the INI file:

For the [PLASMAC] section:
# the font for the Axis GUI, if not specified 'sans 10' will be used
# valid font sizes are from 10 to 15
FONT                    = sans 11

# the window size for the Axis GUI, 0 = minimum size to suit font, 1 = maximized
MAXIMISED               = 0

# the theme for the Axis GUI tabs, if not specified the system theme will be used
THEME                   = Clearlooks

For the [DISPLAY] section:
Note that the tab panels are similar plus some are not required.
TOOL_EDITOR             = tooleditor x y

# required
USER_COMMAND_FILE       = plasmac_axis.py

# required
# for a working config add these to the [DISPLAY] section in your working configs ini file
EMBED_TAB_NAME          = Statistics
EMBED_TAB_COMMAND       = gladevcp -c plasmac_stats -x {XID} -u ./plasmac_stats.py -H ./plasmac_stats.hal plasmac_stats.glade

# use one of the next two
# run panel in tab behind preview
EMBED_TAB_NAME          = Plasma Run
EMBED_TAB_COMMAND       = gladevcp -c plasmac_run -x {XID} -u ./plasmac_run.py -H plasmac_run.hal plasmac_run_tab.glade
# run panel in panel on right side
#GLADEVCP                = -c plasmac_run -u ./plasmac_run.py -H plasmac_run.hal plasmac_run_panel.glade

EMBED_TAB_NAME          = Plasma Config
EMBED_TAB_COMMAND       = gladevcp -c plasmac_config -x {XID} -u ./plasmac_config.py -H plasmac_config.hal plasmac_config.glade

Phill,
Yes, all those changes are in my .ini file.

Is there a link to plasmac_axis.py in your config directory?

Try these in the [DISPLAY] section and see if the error changes.
CYCLE_TIME = 0.1
OPEN_FILE = ""

With that change, there is no reported error; however, in Hal Show, there are no plasmac_run pins.

When I try to load a file, I get the same error.

Could you post a directory listing of your config directory.

Edit: Is the Run panel populated?

You were too quick, is the Run panel populated?
