Installed Ubuntu 12.04 than installed all of what I thought was required. After 2 days of upgrading adding. Linuxcnc won't run. I get the intial machine setup screen, the splash screen, but won't launch program.

The linux debug text file has the following

Can not find -sec MOT -var MOT -num 1
Can not find -sec IO -var IO -num 1
Can not find -sec LINUXCNC -var NML_FILE -num 1
Can not find -sec EMC -var NML_FILE -num 1
