“/boot/userconfig.txt” is there. So

nano /boot/userconfig.txt

should open the file… It should work even without using “sudo” but you may try

sudo nano /boot/userconfig.txt

(password is volumio)

1323

Great: It works.
The two lines were good!
My error was that I tried to modify userconfig.txt in the root directory and not in the /boot/ directory.
Second error: After rebooting, I forgot to connect me once again.
Thanks gvolt

Hi Folks,

today I saw my touch display is not working anymore.
I checked it with the normal raspios and here it works.
So I tried to reinstall the touch display plugin.
Uninstall works fine, but the installation fails with:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
chromium-browser : Depends: chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra (= 92.0.4515.98~buster-rpt2) but it is not going to be installed or
chromium-codecs-ffmpeg (= 92.0.4515.98~buster-rpt2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libraspberrypi0 but it is not installable
Recommends: chromium-browser-l10n but it is not going to be installed
Installation of Chromium failed
Plugin failed to install!
Cleaning up...

I also tried this, but there’s no beta version:
Raspberry Pi Touch Display didn´t work any more

How can I fix that to bring my display back to life?

The display is an official Raspberry Pi 7 Display.

Many thanks

Could you perform a factory reset or reinstall Volumio to test if the error occurs again?

BTW: What is your Pi model and Volumio version?

1326

Factory reset means I have to copy 90GB music files again?

1327

Depends where the music files have been stored.

1328

Files are stored in /data/INTERNAL/.
It’s a raspi 3b and the Volumio version is 3.785.

1329

According to “When the Factory Reset of the unit is requested?” the files should be preserved, if I understand correctly. But I would say be prepared to lose the data anyway.

Edit: A factory reset deletes files in “/data/INTERNAL”, too, as @Buzzzz reported.

If you want to avoid any risk that use another SD card to install a new Volumio system for testing purposes. I would say that this would be the preferred way anyway.

1330

I did fresh new installation on a second SD card. Plugin installation works now, but not the display.

1331

Do you receive the same error message as reported before during the plugin installation?

1332

No, there was no error during the installation.
Plugin is installed. But no screen. I did no changes on userconfig.

I use this 7’ display:

1333

Please add

dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-7inch

to “/boot/userconfig.txt”.

1334

I flashed an old backup what I found from 2023 on this the display works.
After a system update the display don´t work again.
With you parameters I got an error on webscreen the touch display plugin cannot communicate with x-server.
I’ll check that with the default image again.

1335

Yes, please try with a new Volumio 3.785 installation.

1337

Ok Volumio 3.785 and Touch Display plugin 3.5.1 installed.
Plugin is activated, no display screen.
My userconfig.txt:

volumio@volumio:~$ cat /boot/userconfig.txt 
# Add your custom config.txt options to this file, which will be preserved during updates
volumio@volumio:~$

So I added:

dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-7inch

After a reboot I got a screen. I’ll try to set my other card to factory. Otherwise I’ll do a fresh installation.

Many thanks for you help an for you plugin. :person_raising_hand:

And for information, the factory reset delete´s everything!

1339

Thank you for clarifying this. I edited my previous post accordingly.

1340

I change the screen rotation to 180 degrees and after a reboot, my userconfig.txt looks like:

# Add your custom config.txt options to this file, which will be preserved during updates

#### Touch Display rotation setting below: do not alter ####
lcd_rotate=2
display_hdmi_rotate=2

I have to add the display activation parameters again.

1341

That should not happen just by changing the screen rotation. Will check that.
