Linuxcnc, generally needs realtime support so that when a machine needs direction as to what to do next, linuxcnc has at the most 10 microseconds to respond.So why do you run a *web browser* on this machine? Put it in the work shed or wherever, and control it like a server or an appliance.Chuckle. 2 of them are in fact in a 12x16 shed in the back yard, and occasionally I might need to step over to the other idle machine and look something up, so both have FF installed, but with the dram shortage FF causes, I don't run LCNC and FF at the same time on either atom powered machine. Ditto the garage and its currently 2 machines.Put your web browser on your desktop computer, and upgrade it to something that is supported.That I have in the planning stage, starting with a fresh HD. But wheezy is an old friend and I have excised the majority of its warts over the years. First off, I have some scripts that greatly simplify things for me, and which depends on dbus, which I read is deprecated, so what replaces it? It still works, doesn't it? As Anne Landers used to say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Sounds like good advice to me. --doug |
