1.14" 240x135 Kernel Module install problem

[miatachris]

I'm in the home stretch of getting the whole pi-hole kit going. The pi-hole is working (the installer whined about missing files, too, but it just kept going) and I'm running the scripts for the display. However, the script is erroring out due to the missing files and I'm not capable of going thru that script line-by-line.

I'll post a block of what the script read out before it quit.

I see now where a file can be sent, I'll include my first failed attempt, too.

I appreciate any/all help. If you need more info, I'll try to provide it.

Just to check, did you update the system before running the installer script?

What OS version are you using?

I tried to update again this morning.

libvlc-bin and vlc-plugin-qt seem to be the holdups.

I am using Raspbian lite, bullseye variant.

I do appreciate your attention and help.

It looks like something is happening with the OS upgrade. Try these slightly different upgrade commands and see if they run OK:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

WOW that put it to work, it downloaded and installed for ~ 20 minutes and ran through > 100 files.

The screen is on now, and it is showing the normal things you would see at bootup, but the stats.py script is erroring now -

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo python3 ~pi/stats.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

It had previously complained about I2C, and I reran the config script and enabled I2C and that error cleared.

You're a huge help, so far, thank you!

OK, OS update successful. Not try re-running the install script again to make sure all the necessary libraries get installed. I think before the install script was failing due to the OS upgrade step having issues.
