My recipe to Devuan ascii + LinuxCNC is this (take the commandlines with a salt of grain, I'm not the machine right now): - Install linuxcnc from the linuxcnc ISO - "aptitude update && aptitude dist-upgrade" - "apt-mark hold linux-image-3...." - "apt-mark hold rtai-...." - "apt-mark hold linuxcnc" - add Devuan repsitory for jessie, upgrade to jessie. - "aptitude purge $(dpkg -l|grep ^rc|tr : ' '|awk '{print $2}') - change from jessie to ascii, upgrade to asci - install "apt-show-versions" - aptitude purge $(apt-show-versions|grep --invert-match uptodate|cut : ' '| awk '{print $1}' - when this is done, I intall TDE and purge all gnome stuff, and install NCAM After this operation "axis" does not work, but "gmoccapy". "ncam" works, "camview" does not, but "mplayer" does. and get a bit more bottels of beer ..
