Hi Andy, As you stated the Etherlab failed. However it still runs only 2.9.1 so then I did this:
cnc@pi4linuxcnc:~$ sudo apt-get --with-new-pkgs upgrade linuxcnc linuxcnc-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Package linuxcnc is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source Package linuxcnc-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'linuxcnc' has no installation candidate E: Package 'linuxcnc-dev' has no installation candidate cnc@pi4linuxcnc:~$ Next step was another sudo apt-get upgrade in case something had been missed. Now I get the messages that the following packages have been kept back which I didn't see before: linuxcnc-uspace linuxcnc-uspace-dev cnc@pi4linuxcnc:~$ sudo apt-get --with-new-pkgs upgrade linuxcnc-uspace linuxcnc-uspace-dev Now it flashes up 2.9.4 as the version. I'll have to make space on the bench to reconnect the MESA card before I can do any other testing. I'll report back if that all runs. I stopped playing with this because I was having trouble with the linuxcnc touch screen user interfaces for the: https://www.sunfounder.com/products/10inch-touchscreen-for-raspberrypi It seems like they are all designed for 23" or larger touch screens. Ended up running axis and even that was teensy print. Anyway for installing 2.9.4 from 2.9.1 I think the 'elves' have a bit more work to do.
