Which distribution should i use?

Basic Information:

Printer Model: RF-1000
MCU / Printerboard: AT MEGA2560 based
Host / SBC EliteDesk 800 G1 USDT
klippy.log won’t generate one

Fill out above information and in all cases attach your klippy.log file (use zip to compress it, if too big). Pasting your printer.cfg is not needed
Be sure to check our “Knowledge Base” Category first. Most relevant items, e.g. error messages, are covered there

Describe your issue:

installed klipper & octoprint on debian-13.0.0-amd64-netinst and ubuntu-24.04.3-desktop-amd64

Tried to install older versions but could not find .iso files

Can build and flash the printer.

klipper and octoprint services run.

Octoprint talks to klipper.

No activity between klipper and printer.

Can not find klippy.log in /tmp

Meanwhile spent 40+ hours on this. (retired, no problem :slightly_smiling_face: )

Still have a backup disk with a ubuntu 22… installation that still works.

Hi @Uncle_guido

klippy.log is in ~/printer_data/logs/

Did you configure your printer.cfg (located in ~/printer_data/config/)?

This is only when you install OctoPrint along with Moonraker & Mainsail/Fluidd (usually via KIAUH)

On a good old fashioned Klipper/OctoPrint install it should be at tmp/

Thanks guys, problem solved. Nothing to do with the distribution. As soon as i found the log file it told me that the printer.cfg file should also be in a new place now. And then there was a config error due to the last Z-calibration.
