The issue that I can see is that when installing the Touch Display currently version 3.4.0 that was updated 10-3-2024,
this comes up prior to selecting stable version 3.3.8
The plugin enables the display of Volumio’s UI on locally connected screens. If the screen offers touch control, apart from keyboard input the UI can be operated from the screen.
The plugin focuses on the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s 7" display (and compatible DSI displays), but can in principle also be used with displays connected via HDMI or GPIO. However, HDMI and GPIO displays usually require additional action by the user, depending on the type of display and any touch controller present, and requiring advanced knowledge .
NOTE: The plugin cannot be installed on systems that have a factory option to display the UI via HDMI video output.
Notice last line…when installing and monitoring details
at apt-get -y I get a failed to install !!
then clean up as it removed the directory for touch_display
and removed tmp directory
An error occurred while installing the plugin Error
I hope this helps…I have found that others have used this display, and I thought it might be an easy process, but I suppose i could get one of the waveshare HDMI displays…but trying to do this as cost effective as possible.
This does not apply to your system. The touch display plugin can therefore be installed.
Unfortunately the error message is incomplete, but my guess is a network issue is the reason for a failing download of a required package during the plugin’s installation process. Changing the repository mirror as described here may help.
I got the same error while installing 3.4.0 or 3.5.0,
I tried change some mirror repository site but still got the same result. It used to be normal before.
The “running apt-get -y install failed” happened to me a few times too. Running “sudo dpkg reconfigure -a” will clear this error and allow you to reattempt installing - which will go better the next time as it has less to do.
Hi I just got Rpi5 and have connected Waveshare screen to HDMI 1 on the latest Volumio image and the picture is fine.
But I have problem with no sound coming out from HDMI port.
So my question is Is it not possible to use HDMI for sound output when I have this screen connected, or do I have to have DAC?
Apart from the fact that this thread is about DSI (and not HDMI) displays: Nobody can answer your question since you didn’t tell what HDMI display you are using…
Did you check if the Pi 5’s HDMI audio out works with other devices?
I would also suggest to try another HDMI cable of good quality to rule out a faulty cable.
Hi there, I’m trying to get the touchscreen for my RPI 4 up and running. I was able to install the Touch Display plugin, but it says “Inactive.” I’ve retried uninstalling, reinstalling, rebooting, etc.
Now when I try again, it keeps running into an error even installing it

I’ve tried older versions of Touch Display. Only 3.3.6 works, but there’s no option to rotate the screen 180
I use HDMI display and RPi5.
BTW, make sure you have add
hdmi_drive=2
in /boot/userconfig.txt
Also if you use dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
You have to use HDMI-0 instead of HDMI-1 for audio output. ( my experience, or anyone can teach me how to, thank you ).
Hello, I’m struggling to get the display to rotate. I set the plug-in to rotate 180, and reboot, but it never does. I’m using Rpi4 and the official rpi touchscreen.
Everything else works fine. I simply can’t get the screen to rotate.
