I hope it is understandable - my english is way too rusty to explain such a problem ;-)

Hey Chris,
thanks for the report on github! It seems like it got some attention and the problem with the xhc-whb04b pendant is already figured out. Can you tell me what the supposed fix is to get the pendant working again? Or I just have to wait for a future LinuxCNC version?

@Sigma1912 has posted a way to fix the problem on github but that means to build everything from the sources (www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/code/building-linuxcnc.html).
If that is not "in your blood" you may have to wait for 2.9.7... I don't know if you could (or should) install my .deb file.

I have pushed a change.

A new .deb file should appear here in an hour or so:
buildbot2.highlab.com/debian/dists/bookw...uspace/binary-amd64/

You can download the .deb file and then install it with:
sudo apt-get install ./linuxcnc-uspace-2.9.6.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.deb

Note the "./" which tells apt to look at the file rather than search the repositories for a package of that name.

I will try to remember to fill in the actual .deb file name once it is created.

Hey,
@ChrisB_II thanks for the explanation and the link you posted. I looked at the documentation and a youtube video about building linuxcnc and even though it seems doable, I don't think I am comfy going down that route. :D 

@andypugh How do I go about installing the .deb file? Update to 2.9.6 and then just run the command you posted?

The build stalled for some reason, so the .deb isn't there yet.

Once it is there then the .deb will install the updated version of LinuxCNC (even if the machine doesn't already have LinuxCNC)

The buildbot doesn't seem to be working properly at the moment.

I have build a test .deb manually instead.

www.linuxcnc.org/temp/linuxcnc-uspace_2.9.7pre_amd64.deb

You should be able to download the file and install with
sudo apt-get install ./http://www.linuxcnc.org/temp/linuxcnc-uspace_2.9.7pre_amd64.deb

Note that this will overwrite your current linuxcnc installation (or will install linuxcnc if it is not installed on the machine). It will not alter the Linux OS and your current machine configurations should be unaffected.

Hey guys,
I just now had the time to install the new .deb file and try things out.
All my problems are fixed now. The pendant and MDI commands work as intended again.
Thank you all for your help!
