Hi! I've installed on pi: sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-0 sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg xinit wget https://github.com/mcuadros/OctoPrint-TFT/releases/download/v0.1.2/octoprint-tft_0.1.2 1.jessie_armhf.deb sudo dpkg -i octoprint-tft_0.1.2-1.jessie_armhf.deb

Changed OCTOPRINT_HOST:http://ip ... OCTOPRINT_APIKEY: taken from octoprint OCTOPRINT_TFT_RESOLUTION:480x320

sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/octoprint-tft.service and edit the command line from: ExecStart=/usr/bin/xinit /usr/bin/OctoPrint-TFT -- :0 -nolisten tcp -nocursor to ExecStart=/usr/bin/xinit /usr/bin/OctoPrint-TFT -- :1 -nolisten tcp -nocursor

then sudo ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/octoprint-tft.service /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service (Gave no output) and- sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target (Gave no output) sudo reboot

After that all loaded with only an image of octopus holding a ball (see screenshot) octoprint-tft

Had this exact same issue. For some reason the resolution is 720x480 on the Adafruit PiTFT 3.5" and also make sure your printer is actually connected to OctoPrint otherwise it will stay on this screen.

Solved by installing again octopi and all the process for the tft and octoprint-tft and leaving default resolution.

All working well in my end now the only issue keep happening to me seem to be known issues but making it not possible to use octoprint-tft: Screen get's stuck after few minutes in printing status menu (issue #34) and
Freeze while printing (issue #28) Any solution for them yet? Is there anyone it's not happening to him? Any workaround?
