Pi4 B Unable to start Session after installed

[Graham1808]

Hi

I use the following:

sudo rm -rf LCD-show

git clone https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git

chmod -R 755 LCD-show

cd LCD-show/

sudo ./LCD35-show

After this it takes me to the login screen however it says unable to start session i have to then reinstall sudo apt reinstall raspberrypi-ui-mods but the device fails to boot past the Restapi.service

I am getting the same issue with: Raspberry Pi 5 8G Rasberry Pi OS (64-bit)

Release date: May 13th 2025 System: 64-bit Kernel version: 6.12 Debian version: 12 (bookworm) SHA256 file integrity hash: 1162c2a47c2ebda34c7ebeafc4afb71910a05b368d0721ae3736928e60ba5047

I recently configured my Raspberry Pi 4B 2GB, and it worked. Did you had the screen connected to the Raspberry while executing config commands? Because I had same issues, but after I did that it booted correctly.

Same gets stuck on login screen for Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit) after installation. However, Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit) works well with the LCD.

My setup:

• 3.5in LCD
• Raspberry Pi 5, 8GB

I am getting similar issue with: Raspberry Pi 5 16G Latest Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit) 3.5in LCD

I’m experiencing the same problem. Based on my assumption

• SSH access: Works fine, so the system itself is still running.
• CasaOS: Already installed on my Raspberry Pi and continues to work normally.
• Issue: The problem only occurs on the login screen through the display

Also i notice when I run sudo ./LCD35-show, it tries to uninstall a lot of packages. After that, it feels like my Raspberry Pi OS was replaced or changed to Debian OS. From my perspective, the main issue is that the login/display environment gets broken. I am not sure how to revert the change safely.

Do not follow the directions shown on the main page or on the website you purchased the screen. You do not need to install any programs nor uninstall any programs. I just added the following to the end of config.txt, under the [all] section header:

enable_uart=1 dtoverlay=piscreen,drm,rotate=180,speed=18000000s

and made no other changes and everything works just fine on my RPI 4B with Bookworm. This still allows me to use Wayland VNC. I would like to know what section I can put this information in so it does not apply to all screens, though.
