All working thanks guys.
The problem was the version I was running. Initially I ran MissionPlanner-stable.zip that was .77 and it did not work. Then I downgraded to MissionPlanner-1.3.73.zip and that didn’t work either, I had followed a tutorial for the raspberry pi install thinking it would be similar to ubuntu. Now I installed MissionPlanner-latest.zip and the first run it got hung up but the second run it executed perfectly. I followed this tutorial. Hope this helps other people, again thank you.
