7i73 LCD shows rubisch

Hi Norbert

Is your screen also still srambled, or did you find a reason / solution?

Thx
Mike

Still the same, IMHO it is a SmartSerial bug, I just disconnected mine until I find time to look at it.

If you're installing debian packages of master from the buildbot, there's a good chance we can discover the "old, working" version number and the "new, broken" version number, which would help us track down and fix the issue. Please post the complete output of this command:

It could be related to this: github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/commit/d92f...1a785a50d33f8cea32c6
try a version before this commit.

If I remember correct it happened after i did a synaptic upgrade 14.1.18
Haven't done such upgrade weeks before, maybe last time around Christmas but don't know anymore. Sorry. And it was always running perfect.

The 2018 January 14 update went from 1:2.8.0~pre1.3405.ge10c52ea6 to 1:2.8.0~pre1.3520.g0a096c965, which is a pretty large jump that includes the commit Rene pointed out. So that's valuable debugging, thanks.
