error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment.

I am running Buster on a Pi4 and just updated all the packages and wfpiconsole with the following string:

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove -y && sudo wfpiconsole update

When I attempt to start up the console, I get the following error:

error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment. [CRITICAL] [Window ] Unable to find any valuable Window provider.

Can you let me know what screen hardware you are using?

Also, what is the value of the Hardware key under the [System] section of the wfpiconsole.ini file?

[MCancellier]

I'm using the 7 inch Raspberry Pi touch screen.

Hardware = Pi4

Was the console working before you tried the update?

[MCancellier]

Yes. This is the first time I've had an issue after a year plus of running flawlessly.

I normally run updaters once a week, but had been out of town. This cycle there was a significant number of Raspberry Pi OS updates as well as your update.

[peted-davis]

OK, it's good to hear it has been working before but clearly something during the update of the Raspberry Pi OS and the latest version of the console has gone wrong. I have just tested a fresh installation of Legacy version of Raspberry Pi OS that's based on Buster on one of my Pi4s and everything is working as expected. I think the best solution here is to probably re-flash your SD card and hope that fixes everything.

[MCancellier]

I'll give it a try!
