papirus-set binary stuck at "systemctl start epd-fuse"

[GeiserX]

If you execute the command papirus-set with the size of the screen you have,

It sets it correctly, but in the end, it always errors (I've tested this always in a PaPiRus 2.0'')

After a long time waiting for the binary to finish, this is what appears:

A dependency job for epd-fuse.service failed. See 'journalctl -xe' for details.

If you do that, then the logs say:

I am using the latest Raspbian image with a Pi Zero W

After all, it is working as expected after a reboot, but I am programming all of this through Ansible and I don't want to be waiting for it to fail.

@DrumSergio Smells like you have not enabled SPI on your PiZero W. Check if /dev/spidev0.0 and /dev/spidev0.1 exist. Based on your error messages they do not seem to exist. Enable SPI with e.g. the raspi-config utility: sudo raspi-config Select Item 5 Interfacing Options Then select SPI and enable SPI Check again for existence of /dev/spidev0.0 and /dev/spidev0.1. They should now exist and the epd-fuse service should start when you execute papirus-set.
