I'll mark this thread solved, as I've now discovered how to run my cnc on ubuntu, so once again ubuntu comes through. Yay.
John :o

In trying to set up a Dell Optiplex Gx620 desktop to run a cnc machine, I have both ubuntu and win xp installed, the latter to run the cnc.

Curiously, neither wireless mice nor usb will work in...

I need to carefully read the instructions on the side of this can of worms I've opened, before I decide on my next steps.

Thanks everyone who dived into this 'can of worms'.

As a couple of 80+ year olds, our handwriting is getting pretty shakey :(
Is there any software that will start with a scan of our handwriting, then convert it to a text file that we could print ?...

I think it's time to give up.
I've been beating my head against the wall too long, so thanks for all the fish.

/usr/src/linux-headers-6.2.0-36-generic/include/config/TABLET_USB_AIPTEK is present in the Computer location, but shows with 0 bytes.
What should my next step be ?
John

Thanks. More reading to do !
Just followed your link. I think it might do my head in, but I'll try !

I'm getting basic use out of the tablet, in that it allows me to trace a line drawing that I've made, via the tablet/pen, into inkscape.

The problem is that the X dimension is reported ~3 times...

Thanks Holger.
I've drilled down your first thought, and reached 0 byte files in /dev/input, .

I've previously found the project page you mentioned, but not sure how to follow that up !
John

As requested -

Does that mean I can only access it if I was running 18.04 ?
My grasp of 'tech' is tenuous, to say the least !

Trying to sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-aiptek , but get Unable to locate package xserver-xorg-input-aiptek on Terminal, after updating apt-get.

Plugged in my old drawing tablet into my current setup (Inkscape 1.2 / Ubuntu 22.04 / hp ProDesk) and away I went, drawing merrily, till I realised the drawing was stretched sideways.
Remembered I...

Thanks both. It is now becoming a habit through repetition.
Just hope I can remember it tomorrow !

Just found 'file' sharing in advanced network settings, so I may have stumbled onto some progress !
Fingers crossed.

I have tried to connect my Gazelle cutter via usb to the virtual machine, but can't make any progress.
I've got the cutter plugged into the same port that I used previously to get files onto the...

I now have a virtual Windows 10 set up, so many thanks. Only a few minor hiccups along the way, but I've got there !
Now to try and set up the preferred software and hardware.

I need to install...

Many thanks. I'll start in a couple of hours, after I've eaten !

Thanks.
Do I need to delete anything that I have already tried, or can I go ahead, as if from scratch ?

Now close to giving up.
I've tried installing a virtual box to run windows 10, which I believe inkcut works in, but every turn I take, (I've tried Oracal VM , Gnome boxes, and Open-VM) seems to run...

https://www.spice-space.org/download.html is a good example of what I meant in #24.
It certainly wouldn't win a prize from the 'Plain English Society' !

So far I've tried Flatpak Oracal, Gnome...
