Hi. rlsten

Thanks for great tutorial.
I've successfully done setup 3.5" TFT LCD on RPi 3B.



You are the best.
Thanks a lot.

Hello, I also want to use RuneAudio with this LCD and RPi1 (later with RPi0). Until now I managed to make the LCD work, meaning I can see messages on LCD and console.

I followed some tutorials about how to install X on arch linux but when i run startx command is starting and immediately stopping without relevant error (at least for me).

Can you please provide some details about how to get to the RuneAudio interface on 3.5" LCD Touchscreen?

Thanks in advance.

Hi radu022003,

this feature (Local Browser) is only available on the new RP2/3 and ODROID C2 images.

Installing and running x on the RP1 or Zero is too much for the little device (just my 2 cents).
What i have done for the above mentioned devices is:
- install midori (webbrowser)
- install matchbox-window-manager (needed for running the browser on the frame buffer)
- start xinit on boot and display midori pointing to http://localhost

The next RP1 image will run also on RP0 and will include the Local Browser.

installing midori seems to be impossible, at least not without efforts.

[root@runeaudio lib]# pacman -S midori
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: libgudev and libsystemd are in conflict. Remove libsystemd? [y/N]

is this a problem only for RPi1?

So what is your advice? Worth continuing on this path? Or should I change to raspberry pi 3?

Running into some issue with my project for this, did each step but still no luck. Anyway you could post pictures for each step to see exactly what i screwed up or heck even better a new iso file with the steps done already.
