Hello there,  
I am a new convert to Klipper and in process of getting my SovolSV06 plus setup.  
I get “Unable to open file” that according to my reseach and log file, suggest that I need to change the path. But I am failing to locate where else I need to change the path beside moonraker (not even sure if that was required).  
[moonraker.log](https://klipper.discourse.group/uploads/short-url/wesrNWwVIPbU2eNQydmG547LItr.log) (99.5 KB)  
[klippy.log](https://klipper.discourse.group/uploads/short-url/yByJdZvqpqxupByWkD2ksCxs8x3.log) (283.2 KB)

My clipper is running on an old laptop with fresh install of Mint22.1.

Appologies in advance if my information is incomplete for effective assistance, please let me know and I will add other details as required.

Thank you.
