Laser cuts when booting Windows - Not when booting linux

[mowijo (Morten Jørgensen)]

Bonjour and a happy new year.

I have the following setup with a dual boot on the same laptop, same cutter, same material, same parameters, same usb cable, same power supply but with different results.

	Windows	Linux
PC	Dell XPS 15	Same Dell XPS 15
Cutter	Atomstack 7X pro	Same Atomstack 7X pro
LightBurn	LightBurn 1.0.06, built Sat 2021-10-02 @ 22:40	LightBurn 1.0.06, built Sat 2021-10-02 @ 22:40
Material	3mm MDF	3mm MDF
Bought license	yes	Yes
Speed	30 mm/s	30 mm/s
Max Power	100%	100%
Min Power	100%	100%
Pass Count	9	9
Cut	☒	☒
Optimize Cut Path	☒	☒
Output	☒	☒
Show	☒	☒
Air	☒	☒
Result	Path cut through material	Path lightly scorched. The cut groove is not even measurable.

How can I make LightBurn cut the material when running Linux? Do you need any more information from me?

Bonjour and Happy New Year to you too. French greeting and Danish name?

Can you setup the same simple job on both and then save gcode on each system? Post results here please. You may need to rename the files to have a .txt extension to post here.

Please also export preferences for both systems File->Export Prefs and post here.

Hi Berain.

French greeting and Danish name?

Well. I felt like a change in the lingua franca a for a change. And if not a lingua franca should be… French then…

Anyway. Please find the files you requested attached to this post.

Thanks and best regards,
Morten

Godmorgen.

Had a chance to take a look. I think what’s happening is that on Linux the device setting is different for S-value max. Can you check that on Linux the value is set for 1000? I believe it’s 255 right now according to your preferences file.

Changing that to 1000 should give you the same performance between Windows and Linux systems.

[mowijo (Morten Jørgensen)]

Awww… That did the trick.

I had tried to edit the device setting via this entry

but that provided some other settings

I now cut just fine, thank you!

Thanks, Mate!

P.S.: Do you work for Lightburn or is it your just your altruistic call in life to respond to forums the moment you wake up?

[mowijo (Morten Jørgensen)]

double-Aww.

I didn’t notice your Danish reference. I am flattered!

@mowijo

I didn’t notice your Danish reference.

I liked you idea of mixing things up a little. Thought I’d mix things up a bit. When I spent some time in Stockholm there was a restaurant there called Jensens Bøfhus that the Swedes insisted was “authentic” Danish food. I couldn’t tell if they themselves believed it or if they were teasing me… or maybe teasing Danes.

Do you work for Lightburn or is it your just your altruistic call in life to respond to forums the moment you wake up?

Haha. I’m just a regular looking to save the world. One laser at a time.

Ciao
