So I'm working on a CNC (DIY build) setup using LinuxCNC and a Mesa board. Apparently it used to work, but there has been an update of LinuxCNC, and probe_basic and now I get an error on starting Linux CNC with regards to probe_basic
"5/30/2025 Latest update requires config modifications"
There is also a link pointing to a section in the probe_basic documentation that describes the changes that need to be made.
I've been through the changes, and to the best of my understanding, made them. However the error is still there. This suggests I've missed something, or got something wrong, which is not unusual in itself. The problem though is that I can find absolutely no clue as to what I've missed. The log file seems to contain no errors, or indications of what steps in probe_basic have been successful.
Is there a way to troubleshoot this? Some output somewhere that would indicate what the specific issue is, or failing that, a standard config that is going to work that I can then add the machine specific changes to?

regards

Jonathan

It just starts on the status page, is not an error, just informational.

Thanks for letting me know.

So the status page says "Action Required" when no action is actually required?

That's just silly, and monumentally unhelpful. I've wasted loads of time on this.

On updates, the status page becomes the splash page with important information for any changes made. It's the easiest way for us to make sure you are aware of and know to make those required changes with links of where to get additional information on them.

It is actually monumentally helpful for those who are running apt installations and who run apt update and have new releases get installed so they don't have issues and no idea why they have issues and where they are coming from.

On the same page is the error box on the right that reports actual errors in real time. If you have an issue that is affecting functionality, you will receive normal error pop up dialogs and the history of them will display in that box for trouble shooting.

I can see your perspective and will add a blurb regarding the intent of the splash page to avoid the issue for anyone in the future. You are the first to have an issue who reported it so while unfortunate, we appreciate you being it to our attention.
