Not working on a frsh install on RAspberry PI 3B+

[Jacques-Olivier-Farcy]

Hi,

I have just installed a lite version of PI OS, update and upgrade it.
Then i use the process described here : https://learn.adafruit.com/animated-snake-eyes-bonnet-for-raspberry-pi/software-installation
I use two TFT ISP 240x240 pixels.
(On a previous install a few month ago it was working perfectly).

I have these msg of errors:

Can't open primary display
and:

rc.local: Traceback
File "/boot/Pi_eyes/eyes.py line 9 in module 
import pi3d
…
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/pi3d/constatnts/gl.py", line 387, in set_gles_function_args
gles.glActiveTexture.argtypes = [GLenum] #
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'glActiveTexture'

Maybe it is linked to this issue:
tipam/pi3d#259

Hi, can you confirm that the OS version is buster not bullseye. Or, if it is bullseye that it's not tied up with the revised GL driver?

There's some discussion and, I think, working solution to that problem here.
helgeerbe/picframe#195 (comment)

Let me know what you find.

Hi @paddywwoof ,

Yesterday i tried with this version of PI OS raspios armhf buster lite

And after a long update / upragde i installed snake eyes and it is working fine.

I hope someone could add this tip in the install documentation.

To confirm then: you did get this working? OK to close?
Earlier directions required an archaic version of Raspbian. Current directions are Bullseye for Pi 4, Buster for everything else. Unfortunately no one-size-fits-all methodology.

Yes

I ended up here as I didn't read the adafruit instructions properly and installed latest raspberry pi os lite instead of legacy one. Lesson learned RTFM.
