Hi Randolph,

We still have the errors:

AssertionError: ssh exited with status '255' for command '['ssh', '-l', 'root', '-o', 'ServerAliveCountMax=2', '-o', 'ServerAliveInterval=30', '-o', 'UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null', '-o', 'StrictHostKeyChecking=no', '-o', 'LogLevel=ERROR', '192.168.7.4', 'export PATH=/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin; export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/`id -u user`; export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1; wayland-info']': this is likely an SSH failure
failed to create display: No such file or directory

And:
