Generated images not working, test mode not working; External images working

[Rocky56gh9]

1. Cannot get the automation to work to generate and display an image from DALLE.
2. Even with failover = True to display a test image in case of failure, test image never runs.
3. Putting an image in External folder can be displayed by running sudo systemctl restart pycasso.
4. Tried various configurations and cannot get automation to run.

Log and Config attached. config.txt pycasso.log

Check your install directory and path, could also possibly be a permissions issue. At least the last time you ran it, it couldn't find the config file and ran defaults, which would not output to the screen, just to mock epd. You can also check if that file is being created successfully.

Interesting. I did note that if I run "ls" from the root folder, the .config file is not even visible. I have to run sudo nano to open it otherwise it says I don't have permission. I'll see if I can figure out how to unlock the root.

Yeah if that's the case and the directory paths in the error log are correct, then could likely be permission problems. Do a recursive chown and chmod to ensure that the user that runs pycasso has read write and execute for the directory and its contents.

That was it! The .config file's permissions were assigned to root rather than with everything else. I had to manually create the images and prompts folder structures, but it's running now.

This is really nifty!
