OctoDash not installing Properly

[berb6]

Hello,

I have octopi set up, latest stable version 1.0.0. Set this up on Friday 2/24/2023.

I have been trying to set up my octodash on my RSp 3B using a 5" Elecrow touch screen GPIO TFT screen.

• link here (https://www.elecrow.com/hdmi-5-inch-800x480-tft-display-for-raspberry-pi-b-p-1384.html)
• (https://www.elecrow.com/wiki/index.php?title=HDMI_Interface_5_Inch_800x480_TFT_Display)

I have tried about 15-20 youtube variations to get octodash to actually appear.

I can not install octodash on the pi via SSH but I was able to add the plug in on the .local web interface.

Used the following code form this website: bash <(wget -qO-https://github.com/UnchartedBull/OctoDash/raw/main/scripts/install.sh) (https://unchartedbull.github.io/OctoDash/index.html)

Tried (https://unchartedbull.github.io/OctoDash/index.html)

Tried (https://github.com/Z-Bolt/OctoScreen/wiki/Installing-OctoScreen-with-a-3.5%22-480x320-TFT-screen)

Octopdash install is giving me so much trouble. I can't even link all the youtube videos and websites it prompted me to on how they installed. I finally landed on this page and seemed legit but I just can't get it to work. (https://unchartedbull.github.io/OctoDash/index.html)

I also tried the manual way (https://github.com/UnchartedBull/OctoDash/wiki/Installation#manual-installation) and get this error

I found this link that details basically the same issue I am having. I checked my Xterm-color both in SSH and out out of. Both are xterm-256color (https://github.com/UnchartedBull/OctoDash/issues/1335)

So should this show octodash?

I suspect this issue is related to the latest underlying OS the new OctoPi 1.0.0 has, which is Raspbian OS (Bullseye). The previous OctoPi image used the older Buster version of Raspberry Pi OS.

@jneilliii Is there a way around this? It did take quite some time to set up 1.0.0 .. about 2 days of various methods before it worked.

[jneilliii]

2531 would be where to watch.

[berb6]

@jneilliii thank you .. still at a loss even after following #2531

[jneilliii]

The way I understand it, after the install you need to edit the file .xinitrc and make it look like this, the important bit being --no-sandbox

nano ~/.xinitrc

#!/bin/sh

xset s off
xset s noblank
xset -dpms

ratpoison&
octodash --no-sandbox

[berb6]

After I install sudo /home/pi/scripts/install-desktop?

Change nano ~/.xinitrc?

Then what after editing the file?

[jneilliii]

no, after you run the OctoDash install script. after editing the file with that command you then press ctrl+x to exit, answer y to save and enter to keep same filename and then sudo reboot.

[berb6]

Heres the issue, the install scrip does not work for me wget (https://github.com/UnchartedBull/OctoDash/raw/main/scripts/install.sh)

[jneilliii]

ah, the error you get with manual install is definitely OS related, gir1.2-gnomekeyring-1.0 is not installable doing a quick search.

[berb6]

I guess I'm not sure how to fix this so I can run OctoDash.

Sould I copy the installer code and change to --no-sandbox then run it again?

[jneilliii]

I was planning on upgrading one of my instances this weekend to do some testing. Just off the top of my head I would try to do the manual install but remove that one package from the apt install command.

sudo apt install libgtk-3-0 libnotify4 libnss3 libxss1 libxtst6 xdg-utils libatspi2.0-0 libuuid1 libappindicator3-1 libsecret-1-0

then proceed with the remaining steps of the manual install, but include that bit when creating the .xinitrc file.

[berb6]

I copied the source code, edited it in BABY edits and pasted into terminal. I received this error

[berb6]

Tried the instance you mentioned and another error
