Well, with that, and the 3rd option of logging into x chosen in raspi-config>boot options, (if I pick the bottom selection there, I do not have a mouse, so I can't focus the keyboard on the little terinal window it opens) I do get a small terminal in the upper left corner of the screen, which is not movable or resizable, but I can run linuxcnc from it. But seriously, I need the output of the above command. Hum, I'll see if I can get it off one of the other sd cards. Hmm, no diff except it doesn't have the default session enabled. My headache just got worse. I've had lcnc freeze but the pulldown to quit still works. The power and enable buttons are turned off and do not respond to any mouse clicks. So there is no way to re-enable anything, only restart it. The watchdog led is off on the 7i90 when this happens, so the servo thread is still running I think. All my boys have now checked in and wished us a Merry Christmas, and I did get the z motor to move an inch or so, so I am seeing progress, which makes me happier. And I hope you all have had a day suitable to fit the reason for the season too. Thanks everybody.
