Dear Gene,
it's not quite clear to me what the/your actual problem is…

That got me back to stretch, but no new linucnc builds at master-rt.
So either the buildbots been down for a week or ??
And the first of my wheezy machines, the only other machine here that is
running tde r14.0.x. just updated 62 packages including 3 from the
linuxcnc buildbot, using the exact same "gksudo synaptic".
By the time I had updated all 4 of them, the three wheezy installs got an
updated master-rt from the linuxcnc buildbot, but this stretch(amd64),
and the buster (armhf) rpi4b didn't get any updates offered except the 6
that are locked, preempt-rt stuff.
Looks like the buildbot is having trouble with post-wheezy stuff.
I should do a git pull and try it myself as I am setup to do that. But
I'm not touching that until I find out whats killing the jog dials on
the rpi4b. I had it partially apart yesterday, installing a new z
motor's driver alarm output into its linuxcnc config, but the jog dials
are now dead, so I've no way to run 1500 lbs of 75 yo Sheldon lathe by
hand. But I need to go to the machine to do that, I can't troubleshoot
that with an ssh login. Machine safety yadda yadda.
So I'd better fix some breakfast and git to it.
Thanks Stefan.
Only when booted to single status. But It let me
set it right now
without asking for the old pw. But then xrandr got in the way,
couldn't read a valid gamma setting. xrandr is not your problem
though. Now I suppose I'll have to use it for everything. And
thats a right pita too as its quite a few more characters. But now I
can't run synaptic from the tde menu's, as root or gene. And gksudo,
my only way to run synaptic, brought up a whole new default jessie
config. Jessie ??? Supposed to be stretch, call me confused.
…but one thing comes to mind: in case you want to run an X-application
(synaptic) as root, root needs to be allowed to access the user's
X-session (I don't know how this is implemented by synaptic, there are
probably different ways to achieve that by different apps). Maybe it's
worth a try to allow root to your user's X-session with:
As user enter this command:
$ xhost +si:localuser:root
From man xhost:
"the server interpreted address "si:localuser:username" can be used to
specify a single local user."
HTH and kind regards,
Stefan
