[PLUGIN] Touch Display

[Sefton]

Pi 3B
IQaudiO DAC+
Generic Chinese touchscreen

When I go to install the plug in the install fails (70%) appears to be a chromium install issue

Need to get 1045 kB/126 MB of archives.
After this operation, 401 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Err:1 http://mirror1.ku.ac.th/raspbian/raspbian buster/main armhf libnss3 armhf 2:3.42.1-1+deb10u6

Cleaning up…

I saw other posts saying this was a result of having a USB device connected, or a keyboard… I have disconnected the screen and touch links, back to headless with DAC+ Hat and exactly the same error seems to happen.

[Wheaten]

please post the full log, so we can see if something went wrong, or connections are failing.

[volumio]

I suspect its a problem in the mirror that gets automatically selected by apt-get, due to your location.

@Wheaten does it work on your end? If some other people it’s able to confirm we can pinpoint the issue, since this seems tied to geographical location

[dvo]

raspbian.mirror.net.in/raspbian/raspbian buster/main armhf libnss3 armhf 2:3.42.1-1+deb10u6

seems there so far as i can see, no download and no 404 in browser
i would try a other dns server aka google 8.8.8.8 8 and 8.8.4.4

[Sefton]

I am in Thailand for the record… Doing another install now to get failure log

[Wheaten]

IP: 158.108.4.211 is accessible for me.

Testing the touch display:
This one is failing due to an earlier reported issue with the date setting.

[Wheaten]

In @Sefton case, the requested library “libnss3_3.42.1-1+deb10u6_armhf.deb” is missing:

[Sefton]

I was always good at breaking things

[Wheaten]

@Sefton Can’t blame this on you, yet…

@volumio
After 20 minutes the date is restored on my rPi, and the touch display install without issues.

So it seems that Sefton gets an outdated mirror.

[Sefton]

@Wheaten

Can’t blame this on you, yet…

I’ll wait

[gvolt]

You may try changing the repository mirror as described here.

[Sefton]

OK so I managed that… install worked… enabled etc… Bench test (no audio connected) played from spotify and it appeared to be fine… cover art and looked to be playing… pause seemed to work (visually) etc.

Moved it to playback location, connected to amp, now spotify sees it and plays to it, but the playing now screen doesnt update, and the player controls dont seem to function but the touchscreen does work as you can access menu controls etc. Its more like the spotify → volumio connection is audio output only…

EDIT :: Now screen is working (with big lagtimes) and audio isnt… I found it had defaulted to HDMI but even having set it back to DAC output theres no sound…

Multiple reboots and restarts and poor sync (timing between web / spotify / screen) I am wondering if a 3B+ is too weak to do this smoothly ?? As an audio only streamer it was working (but I would get strange behavior on stop / next etc) but with the screen duty it feels sort of overloaded ?

[PengRoadking]

I can’t install touch screen plugin

Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Ram 4 GB
Version of Volumio : 3.512
Network: WLAN
Volumio Free account, Spotify Premium account.
Version of touch screen plugin : 3.3.7
touch screen 7 inch
Thank you in advance.

[Wheaten]

please run from the shell:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
sudo apt-get update

And then try again.
if this still fails, you might look at this topic and change the repo.

[PengRoadking]

I’ll try it. Thank you very much.

[PengRoadking]

I did as you told me, it worked. !!!

Thank you very much, it was very useful to me and I hope it will be useful to others as well.

[Wheaten]

Looks like you forgot to install the “Touch Display” plugin.
The fact that you see the boot screen means that the addition in userconfig.txt is correct.

[JohnTan]

I uninstalled the plugin then reinstalled it. The display is now functioning thank you. However, whilst a mouse works, the touch function needs calibrating is this an option?
Thank you
