Help and Support Help
#1

Hello together,
i hope someone can help me.

i try to install my Waveshare 5 inch Tocuhscreen , the display does work fine…

but i cant install the touch driver.

i am logged in as root (root@volumio), and type
./LCD5-show
and the console answer is
bash: ./LCD5-show: permission denied :frowning:

WHY???

i tried with sudo ./LCD5-show
and answer is
command not found :frowning:

WHY???

and bevor, i did chmod +x LCD5-show
and tried with chmod 777; chmod 755; chmod a+rw and nothing helps

and yes, i m in the rigth folder…

it would be perfekt, if can use my Waveshare touch

some ideas? :smiley:

I suggest that you do a fresh installation of Volumio, and then install the display plugin.

#3

so i tried a new system install and…

it doesn t help.

alwas the same error message

bash: ./LCD5-show : Permission denied

i can see volumio an this display, but the touch driver can t installed :frowning:

#4

I don’t have a Waveshare display and it’s just a shot in the dark:

Login via SSH as user volumio instead of root. Then try to install by doing sudo ./LCD5-show

#5

hi, i tried these… see my first post.

i tried with sudo ./LCD5-show
and answer is
command not found :frowning:

i tried all these commands with and without root/sudo

#6

Maybe I misunderstood but from your first post I assumed you have been logged in as user root all the time (even when you tried “sudo ./LCD5-show”). Therefore I suggested to log in not as root but volumio and then execute “sudo ./LCD5-show”.

#7

Ich tried it all…

Loggen in as bin root or as root there is no difference between .
I get all the time that Same massege …
And it is very crazy by typing sudo ./LCD5-show that the consol say Commander Not found :frowning: and by typing the same without sudo the Error is permisson denied

And i will repeat, no matter as logged in as root or as User, Always the same Error!!

And its the right Driver, i used it on other raspian systems before
:confused:
that makes no sense

When you create a simple script like#!/bin/bash echo "Hello" are you able to execute that with sudo?

BTW (unrelated to the problem with executing LCD5-show):

LCD5-show calls uname -n in line 13 and then checks if the result was “raspberrypi” in line 16. On a volumio system “uname -n” will return “volumio” so the script will not update the touch configuration unless you change line 16. The version check might be inappropriate for the volumio kernel, too, but I didn’t check that. Also don’t know if this would be important for you, so just a hint.

#9

Can you tell us how you have installed the driver please? The more details the better. I do note that there are a few posting in the forum about problems in getting “touch” to work with this device. Does anyone in the Community have the Waveshare 5" display working with touch control?

#10

hi all, probably problem has already been solved but unfortunately no solution was posted. So I will describe my case. (it worked on rpi , maybe it is proper way on volumio also)

After configuring hdmi (config.txt on boot partition) I downloaded driver package (from github) and copied extracted files onto usb flash drive. Unfortunately every try to execute driver installation script resulted in the same error (“Brak dostępu”=“Permission denied”):

root@raspberrypi:/media/pi/SC# chmod +x LCD5-show
root@raspberrypi:/media/pi/SC# ./LCD5-show
bash: ./LCD5-show: Brak dostępu

As you can see it was executed from mounted USB drive. After copying files to rpi file system and executing it locally, driver installation script works ok:

root@raspberrypi:/media/pi/SC $ cp -R * /home/pi/driver_touch/
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi/driver_touch# chmod +x LCD5-show
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi/driver_touch# ./LCD5-show

( here were proper installation messages)

After (automatic) reboot, touch screen is ready.
