Hi there,

Thank you for reporting this issue. The error message indicates that the _tkinter module is missing. This module is required for tkinter to work and is often not included by default in some Python installations.

Here are the steps to resolve this issue on a Raspberry Pi running Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit:

  1. Update your package list:

    sudo apt update

  2. Install the Tkinter package:

    sudo apt install python3-tk

  3. Verify the installation:

    • Open a Python shell by running python3 in your terminal.
    • Try to import tkinter with the following command: 
      import tkinter as tk
    • If there are no errors, the installation was successful.

  4. Re-run your application:

    python3 /home/dks384/meshtastic_chat_desktop/meshtastic_chat_desktop.py

These steps should resolve the issue. Please let me know if you encounter any further problems.

Best regards, Lane
