new install, now cant import tkinter

Could be something to do with the Python3 work being done on master, I would stick with 2.8 at this stage unless there is something specific you need from master.

Try

someone shoudt update the install process on UPDATE to Master
to get the python3-tk ito depencies needed

To be fair Python3, is stilla work in progress for LInuxcnc and a lot of PR's were pushed to master bracnh over the last few days.... It would be best to log an issue in git hub.

just following up in case anyone else follows this thread - unfortunately I was not able to fix it until I did a reinstall from here:

...which is a great iso

I just ran into this as well. The problem seems to be that /usr/bin/update_ini has been (partially) updated for python-3, but is still set to use python-2.7. I modified the file and got it working again. See the attached patch file.

Edit: Apply like this:
