Pygame Error in karaoke.py when trying to start "video system not initialized"

[Romeo1984]

Setup: Pi4 Bullseye 64 non-desktop OS (updated) Miniconda 4.9.2 ARCH 64 (not updated - I did update it in an earlier install, but it broke the HTTP packet retrieval, so I re-stalled it) Running from SSH:

I did a search and didn't find any obvious fixes.
