Hi!

I know this is an old thread, but I too am having issues getting Mesact to communicate with my 7i97. It will ping okay.

I have mesaflash 3.4.9 installed and am aware that I may need a higher version, however I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have any tips on finding the latest Mesaflash? I can only find 3.4.9 on the GitHub link. Perhaps I'm missing something here!

Any help would be appreciated.

For a pure Unbuntu install, you will have to install your flavour of Ubuntu then install from source, unless you can get the debian packages to work.
If your Ubuntu install uses wayland rather than X11 those guis of Linuxcnc that depend on X11 libs may require a "compatibility" layer, that I've found is somewhat slower than native X11.

Personally I would recommend a the Debian ISO and stick with something that is straight forward and simple to install.

Actually there has been some talk about Canonical using a third graphics subsystem in the furture....and replacing all the basic Linux\Unix utils with Rust equivalents. What's next the return of Unity ?

Thank you so much! I will reply back with my experience. Several days, maybe...
