The LCD Menu on my Qube3 contains 8 items;

    Setup Network
    Advanced Network
    Reboot
    Power Down
    Reset Network
    Reset Filter
    Language
    Exit

Hmmm ... its fully patched ... BlueLinQ says there is nothing to install.

I have never seen 'configure ups' on any of the Qube3s I've installed.

Can you advise the contents of your /etc/lcd.d/10main.m

Mine contains;

[root 10main.m]# ls -la
total 10
dr-x------  10 root     root         1024 Oct 24 12:09 .
dr-x------   3 root     root         1024 Oct 24 12:09 ..
dr-x------   3 root     root         1024 Mar 17  2001 10SETUP_NETWORK.m
dr-x------   8 root     root         1024 Mar 17  2001 12ADVANCED_NETWORK.m
dr-x------   2 root     root         1024 Oct 24 12:09 20REBOOT.s

dr-x------   2 root     root         1024 Oct 24 12:09 40RESET_NETWORK.s
dr-x------   2 root     root         1024 Oct 24 12:09 50RESET_FILTERS.s
dr-x------   7 root     root         1024 Oct 24 12:09 60SELECT_LANGUAGE.m
dr-x------   2 root     root         1024 Oct 24 12:09 999EXIT.s

Which is exactly what I see.

Cheers,  Malcolm
