3.779 - after upgrade Raspberry Pi touchscreen display does not work any more

Hello Volumio wonderful people!

After latest update to 3.779 Raspberry Pi official touchscreen stopped working.
What I tried so far (everything without any luck) is:

  • Install and reinstall plugin,
  • Factory reset,
  • Fresh installation of 3.779
    None of above activities helped to enable display again. Now after fresh installation of 3.779 I cannot even install Touch Display. Attempt ends with following log:

I did try previous versions of plug in without luck.
Thank you so much for your help!

by any chance, did you change the password?

Mine works. using a pi4. the touchscreen plugin took a long time to install though.

Hi @Darmur thank you for your question. No I did not, actually I am not sure if there is any. I can see that I am logged in on web interface.

Hi @jocoman I guess I am not lucky with Pi3…

Hi , i had the same issue on a 3b+ as soon as updated to latest version lost the touch screen , i tryed everything you tried no luck , in the end i had to install an older version , Volumio-3.631-2024-02-21-pi that fixed it .

Where can you download previous versions?

found it in a forum , just google Volumio-3.631-2024-02-21-pi

Exactly same problem here…
Did anyone manage to fix this without rolling back the Volumio Version?

Okay, quick fix if plugin cannot be installed:

  1. SSH into volumio
  2. Run “sudo dpkg --configure -a”
  3. Run “sudo apt-get -y install”
  4. Reinstall plugin via GUI

Worked at least for me, but still not sure if it will run flawlessly after installing.

Hi @Halloran I found this links, hope it will help:

https://updates.volumio.org/pi/volumio/3.631/Volumio-3.631-2024-02-21-pi.zip

https://updates.volumio.org/pi/volumio/3.757/Volumio-3.757-2024-09-17-pi.zip

I did not try any of them yet, but I will try later release first and then the 3.631

Thank you @MichaelE!

Remedy that you mentioned is not working for me. Volumio says that plugin already exists but it is not in list of installed plugins.

I will try install 3.757 or 3.631 and see how it goes. Will post result here.
