Only getting to the Pi Login Screen

[tre4b]

What doesn't work?
No sign of OctoDash at all. The pluggins requested during the install are installed though so I think it should be. The Pi Boots fine and ends up sitting at the standard login prompt on the 3.5" screen.

What did you already try?
I checked the ./xinit and it octodash is there.
Did a reboot then
sudo ps -A | grep "octo"

this returned octoprint but no octodash so looks like it is not running.

looked for a log in /var/log

I am running headless except for the 3.5" screen. When I have ssh'd in I ran

sudo octodash &

I was hoping it would know about the display as I did not know how to tell it to point at the 3.5 display what I got was.

[6112:0212/210205.353735:FATAL:electron_main_delegate.cc(254)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180.

not at all sure how that would happen.

General Information:

• Running on a Pi4 with 4GB ram, thus need to use a 3.5 with pins because of the mini hdmi stuff :-(
• Whatever is your most up to date, downloaded using
• bash <(wget -qO- https://github.com/UnchartedBull/OctoDash/raw/main/scripts/install.sh)
• OctoPrint Version 1.5.3
• From the most current OctoPi image 0.18

Additional context
I've tried to set this up a couple of ways to get the 3.5 working. This time I set it up using the instructions for OctoScreen up to the point where it talks about installing OctoScreen. At that point I installed OctoDash on this sd card. On a duplicate I installed OctoScreen and verified it worked. (what can I say I wanted to see which I prefered). I reasoned because the display worked for OctoScreen it ought to work for OctoDash too.

So, the error you're getting is because you're running as sudo. Octodash can operate at a user level. Try running without the sudo.

I got the same error, but after dropping the sudo I'm getting a segmentation fault when it tries to launch. I'm filling an issue for that now

[tre4b]

@Demannu Yeah sorry I did do it without Sudo too. That resulted in no process running, and yes it does come up with a Segmentation fault same as you without sudo. Damned if you do, damned if you don't ;-)

I had these errors I just had to change setting to auto login using "sudo raspi-config" > System Options > Boot / Auto Login > Console Auto Login Text Console (option B2)

I'll give that a go. Last time I did this when first trying to setup OctoScreen it all went to pot ;-) Hopefully should work, makes sense if OctoDash runs in user context. Printing right now though so will have to wait a bit ;-)

Yep that did it. Many thanks Icesythe7
