Thanks for the quick reply. That is the procedure I used. I ran the script you suggested. The Touch Display plugin does not report any error but the screen is still blank. Same error on both RPIs. Here is the log again:

Please post the output of

cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf

y2kats65 · August 1, 2022, 9:11pm

volumio@volumio:~$ cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf

This is a minimal sample config file, which can be copied to

/etc/X11/xorg.conf in order to make the Xorg server pick up

and load xf86-video-fbturbo driver installed in the system.

When troubleshooting, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for the debugging

output and error messages.

Run “man fbturbo” to get additional information about the extra

configuration options for tuning the driver.

Execute

sudo sed 's/fb0/fb1/' -i /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf

Then restart the plugin or reboot.

y2kats65 · August 2, 2022, 12:03am

Thank You. That fixed the problem. The screen is now working. It looks nice after settting the scale factor to 60%

.I also tested with a RPI 4 and it works.
For those encountering the same problem after following Page 1 to install Volumio. These are the two steps provided by gvolt that may fix your problem:

sudo apt-get -y install xserver-xorg-video-fbturbo
Then restart the Touch Display plugin or reboot.
2.sudo sed ‘s/fb0/fb1/’ -i /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf
Then reboot
You may also want to change the scale factor in the Touch Display plugin to 60.

Hi All,

The ws-35b-v2.sh mentioned in the post #1 is not available anymore. Can someone help me to get that? I am trying to install LCD (B) Rev 2.0 in Volumio but no luck.

MomoFab1 · July 12, 2025, 7:28am

Hi,
here it is (available for approx. 1 month):

ws-35b-v2.sh

vimalpola · July 12, 2025, 2:42pm

It’s a big help! Thank you. I am tying now with the file.

Mat2 · September 2, 2025, 4:17pm

Hi i have a Boombox project with Volumio for my raspberry pi 3b+.I cant figure out why Waveshare 3.5inch RPI (B) revision 2 Lcd does not show gui of volumio it just black screen,even if screen connected to pi.I have also tried solution that people tell me to do in volumio community but does not seem to work the instruction for drivers as of 2025.

i need help please

here are some photo of screen

Tell me if you need more info

Mat2 · September 6, 2025, 2:52pm

Hi my volumio setup is raspberry pi 3b+ and waveshare 3.5 inch (B) rev 2 lcd.

I have downloaded this files ws-35b-v2.sh and my LCD waveshare 3.5 inch (B) rev 2 seem to not display gui even when i installed touch display plugin and followed your instruction.

I really need help i am beginner when it comes to linux and maybe i dont understand your instruction help would be appreciated.

nerd · September 7, 2025, 9:55am

Hey @Mat2,

Previous posts and Waveshare instructions were written for kernel 5.x and older Raspbian-based stacks. Volumio is now on kernel 6.12.34, and many of the overlay names, framebuffer drivers, and X11 configurations have changed. Re-using scripts like LCD35B-show-V2 that overwrite config.txt or cmdline.txt will usually break the boot sequence on a modern Volumio build.

A clean install ensures that:

You begin with a known-good Volumio image.
userconfig.txt is preserved correctly across updates.
Only the current, in-tree overlay (dtoverlay=waveshare35b) is used, rather than legacy -v2 variants.
The Touch Display plugin works with the new kernel’s KMS defaults without conflicting fbturbo configs.

So the current recommendation is:

Flash the latest Volumio image again to the SD card.
Download and unzip the waveshare35b-v2.dtbo device tree file to add it to the /boot/overlay folder.
Add only the minimal lines to /boot/userconfig.txt:
- dtparam=spi=on
- dtoverlay=waveshare35b-v2,rotate=270 (adjust rotation if needed)
Install the xserver-xorg-input-evdev package if touch input is required.
Enable the Touch Display plugin from the UI.

This avoids all the legacy rc.local/inittab/fbturbo hacks that were valid years ago but are not appropriate for kernel 6.12.34.

Kind Regards

Mat2 · September 7, 2025, 3:28pm

Thank you i will do that and will let you know if there problems

Mat2 · September 7, 2025, 11:33pm

Hi i have followed your intstruction and my waveshare 3.5 inch LCD (B) rev 2 LCD is still not working and display gui .It just for step 4 its says install xserver-xorg-input-evdev package and i searched on google and it says to do sudo apt-get update and also sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-evdev,and sudo reboot.

This is what i wrote in userconfig.txt

This is photo of what my screen do it shows a white thing and dispear
lcd screen show white thing

help would be appracaited

nerd · September 8, 2025, 6:54am

Hey @Mat2,

The fact that your screen lights up briefly is actually promising - it suggests the SPI interface is active. What we don’t know yet is whether the kernel has created a framebuffer device (/dev/fb1) for the Waveshare panel and whether the relevant drivers have loaded.

Please note: I don’t have this specific screen at my disposal and I’m not looking to buy one, so you will need to carry the burden of investigation yourself, unless other community members who do own this panel can step in and provide exact details for the Volumio version you installed (which we still don’t know - the log will capture this).

Here’s what to do next:

1. Disable the Touch Display plugin
In Volumio UI go to Plugins → Installed Plugins and switch off the Touch Display plugin. For now we only want to see whether the kernel has a working console on the screen, not the UI.

2. Send a Volumio log link

Open a browser and go to:
http://<your_volumio_ip>/dev
Scroll to the section Send logs of bug report.
Enter a short note (for example “Waveshare 3.5B SPI not showing UI”).
Click Send.
Copy the link it gives you (from logs.volumio.org/...) and paste it back here.

3. Collect framebuffer and module information via SSH
On the same DEV page you can enable SSH. Then connect to your Volumio (user: volumio, password: volumio).
Once logged in, copy-paste this block and return all of its output:

echo "=== Volumio version and kernel ==="; cat /etc/volumio_version 2>/dev/null; uname -a
echo
echo "=== Framebuffers ==="; cat /proc/fb; ls -l /dev/fb* 2>/dev/null
echo
echo "=== Modules of interest ==="; lsmod | egrep -i 'spi|ili9|fbtft|fbcon|vc4|drm|ads7846' || true
echo
echo "=== Recent kernel lines (spi/display) ==="; dmesg | grep -i -E 'spi|ili9|waveshare|fbtft|ads7846|fbcon' | tail -n 120

With the log link and this small set of outputs we will know:

Which Volumio version you are running.
Whether the kernel created a framebuffer (fb1) for the LCD.
Which modules are loaded (spi_bcm2835, ili9486, ads7846, etc).
Any errors when the overlay tried to initialize the panel.

Once that’s clear, we’ll know whether the display is alive at kernel level. If it is, we can then look at enabling the UI later.

Kind Regards,
