I have too much other stuff installed on that PC to want to re-install the OS with a new version that included LinuxCNC 2.8. Had I not made the spelling mistake it's likely it would have worked. Once I effectively removed all of LinuxCNC 2.7 etc. using the tool along with removing from the repositories all instances of linuxcnc.org then it went well. The tcl file wasn't in my home folder and that's why I get worried about upgrades. Removing 2.7.14 rather than upgrading it also removed the /usr/lib/linuxcnc tcl files. Which means it's likely installing the live image wouldn't have helped either. The xhc-hb04 config files were in my config folder and weren't touched.
