User Install for Probe Basic Py3 (For Machine Control)

k. well, then what went wrong.

The only other notable screw up i had was after installing linuxcnc, I lost sudo privileges from my account and switched to root. Realised that does not work, figured out how to reinstate sudo, then continued.

Would that break something? Put something in the wrong spot?

yes, when installing linuxcnc leave root password blank, then first time you run sudo apt update it will ask you to set the root password. this is used during the installation.

ok, im going to install in a few mins.

cool, keep us posted

Curious. i now have a completely different linux gui - similar to the older linuxcnc one. clearly i pressed something wrong last time.

My brain hurts. haha.

You must not have been on xfce4 which likely accounts for the error, it looks like that because that was preset in linuxcnc distros
