    That's a problem. Try going on to the MDI tab and in the white box type:

    G0 X10

    That should make it move to X=10 and you should see the numbers count up on the DRO. Send a screenshot if not...

    Silly question:
    When LinuxCNC starts up it will disallow all control of the machine until the user clicks the magic EStop button - effectively saying they are in control of the machine and the environment. If I remember Mach works in much the same way, a big red stop button perhaps? Have you clicked it?
