Hi, everyone,i have reinstalled linuxcnc and the probe basic screen:LinuxCNC 2.8.2 Debian 10 Buster PREEMPT-RT ISO
github.com/kcjengr/probe_basic/releases/...taller-0.4.0.runthen copied my configuration back into the directory. So far everything runs flawlessly except for one thing. When I load a program, the following error message appears:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/roger/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/qtpyvcp/widgets/display_widgets/vtk_backplot/vtk_backplot.py", line 428, in load_program
    self.load(fname)
  File "/home/roger/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/qtpyvcp/widgets/display_widgets/vtk_backplot/base_backplot.py", line 70, in load
    result, seq = gcode.parse(filename, self.canon, unitcode, initcode)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe4' in position 14: ordinal not in range(128)


who can tell me what this error message means?

I just did the same exact installation as you. It works perfectly fine. Had issues with the screen saver on debian though.
I've heard backplot in 4.0 is different from other versions just guessing something got messed up with your previous config.
Try a reinstall if you can and run probe basic one time before copying your configs.

I was goint to direct you to the freenode where you will get a better answer but freenode webchat on probe basic seems down? or freenode is down. Guess we'll have to wait someone to show up.

in your INI file for start up program you need to ahev blank.ngc specified to load at startup.  check and verify it directs to the file via the correct path.

Many thanks for your responses.

- the blank.ngc is loaded correctly
- if i take a new configuration and run it in simulation mode, i get the same error

So I am not spared a new installation?

If blank.ngc is loading correctly without error, then it would seem the issue lies in your file you are attempting to load, can you share that file here so we can test on our installations as well?
