Do you have, in your .ini file, a line per axis stating HOME_SEQUENCE = number? The number, starting with 0 determines the order that the axises are homed in. If its missing, I don't think axis gives you anything but the dots to select the axis to be homed when the HOME button is clicked on, or the keyboard HOME key is pressed. When the HOME ALL has been configured correctly, then the keyboard shortcut of Ctrl+HOME keys will do it all. My Z home is fairly close to the chuck on my lathe, so I am in the habit of emptying the toolpost else it can break expen$ive tooling if there is work in the chuck. BTDT. :( Because of the preparation to make sure the machine CAN move w/o damaging anything, I have serious doubts that LinuxCNC will ever have a 1 time, at launch time, automatic home. That could/would be quite dangerous in everyones opinion. IOW the lack of it is a safety feature.
