I've now done a power cycle of the laptop and the userland 2.90 still works OK. Excellent. :-)
I'm still puzzled by why the 'distro' version works at first and then ceases over a power cycle. If it had failed from the start I would have taken for granted it was a dead duck and focussed on 2.90. But the fact that it works initially after an install made me think I was simply doing something wrong in terms of setup, etc. Also, here I'm simply re-trying the 2.90 I installed a few days ago in a user directory. Then it failed. Now it works. My guess is that then I'd un-installed some kind of support that it needs when I'd uninstalled 2.83 to avoid accidentially using the wrong one (due to my typing un-skills!) So it looks like I have to have installed the 'distro' 2.83 to ensure I've also setup and installed something else that 2.90 needs. I'll do some more tests, but it looks like - fingers crossed - I'm now OK. Apologies for the muddle!
