How do you start Octodash manually from command line?

[spiff72]

Describe the bug
When attempting to start Octodash manually (not launching it at bootup), I get an error stating "Gtk-Warning **: cannot open display"
I tried running ratpoison first, and get "Can't open display"

I don't think this is a bug - just my lack of knowledge on how to run the application. The pi is already booted, and the console window is currently displayed on the touchscreen. I suspect that this is the issue (the screen is already running and acting as the console display).

I am running 1.3.2 (to the best of my knowledge), on octopi 0.16.0 and octoprint 1.3.12 on a Raspi3 connected via HDMI and USB (for touch input) to a 7" cap touch display (1024 x 600 resolution).

You have to do export DISPLAY=:0 first. After that it should work :)

Have you installed OctoDash via the installer script? Please make sure that xinit is installed ...

And navigate to Boot Options - Desktop CLI - and choose Console Auto Login
git clone https://github.com/waveshare/LCD-show.git
cd LCD-show/
sudo chmod +x LCD35-show
