What Linux OS being used including kernel type?
Debian 12
- What version of Linuxcnc is installed?
2.9.4
- What version of QtPyVCP and Probe Basic is installed?
Version from here: kcjengr.github.io/probe_basic/quick_star...l#installation-steps
- How did you install Probe Basic? Quickstart guide? Dev Guide?
I followed the quickstart guide.
I get an error when I run the third command 'sudo dpkg -i python3-qtpyvcp_5.0.2-19.dev_amd64.deb'
The download folder shows the file.

Yeah, no love. I'm going to go with QTDragon instead.

You should start with Axis GUI first, till you get the machine working properly, then switch to any other GUI.
You can freely ignore this if the machine is working.

I'm converting from Masso to Linux so while I have a working machine, it's not working on Linux
