I had the same problem . As the XSDL server boots, very briefly, there is a gray configuration bar at the top of the screen. Touching is provides a pulldown menu that includes mouse settings. In my version of XSDL the best selection was the last āTablet (touch)ā. Playing with the other options was not rewarding. I got into a boot loop and had to uninstall XSDL and reinstall.
/home/pi/KlipperScreen/launch_klipperscreen.sh
After re-install system everything work fine
I finally got KlipperScreen working in a Lenovo Tab 7 . But then all my test prints came out shrunk! about 50% and the prints look terrible
I didnt change anything else in any other settings in Klipper. What could have happened?
Update - still dunno what happened, but I just reverted to a previously saved printer.cfg and removed the android tablet and print is back to what it was.
After making the change you recommend to use by Wifi I receive this message:

Any help?
Solved - Donāt worry there is a simple way on Klipperscreen website under Android
Canāt seem to get klipperscreen auto running. Iām just going over wifi as it worked so why not
This is my launch_klipperscreen.sh
#!/bin/bash
# forward local display :100 to remote display :0
DISPLAY=192.168.1.6:0 /home/pi/.KlipperScreen-env/bin/python screen.py
When I start klipperscreen service I get no display and the following with status.
Process: 8603 ExecStart=/home/pi/KlipperScreen/launch_klipperscreen.sh (code=exited,status=203/EXEC)
Funny thing, I had enabled the option to see the rpiās and mcuās temperature by adding this to the printer.cfg:
[temperature_sensor raspberry_pi]
sensor_type: temperature_host
min_temp: 10
max_temp: 100[temperature_sensor mcu_temp]
sensor_type: temperature_mcu
min_temp: 0
max_temp: 100
But Iād never thought using klipperscreen since januari I could see those temperatures on klipperscreen. By accident I discoverd that when running the klipperscreen code as a non-rooted user you are able to see those temperatures.
If your non-rooted user is called āpiā, add this before the klipperscreen start command:
sudo -u pi
So it looks like this:
adb forward tcp:6100 tcp:6000 && cd /home/pi/KlipperScreen && sudo -u pi DISPLAY=:100 /home/pi/.KlipperScreen-env/bin/python screen.py &
And now you should be able to see Mcu temp and Raspberry pi below the Extruder and Heater bed temperatures
hi would there be a possibility to get in a discord call for some help? i would really appriciate it. i have been trying for 3 days straight now and i really donāt get it.
thx in advance!
Devon
Hi, I would really like to help you but I am on vacation and have no access to my printer config and only limited internet connection. Could you try to describe where you are stuck?
I will be back home November 3rd. We could probably do a discord call then.
Thanks. I am struggling to find out how to disable mouse.
Hello,
Iām having some troubles getting this to workā¦
Running mainsail OS on a raspberry pi 4, used KIAUH to install klipperscreen.
If I run adb devices on raspberry pi, it shows my device is connected.
When I try to start klipper screen service, it shows this:
KlipperScreen.log is filled with:
--------------------KlipperScreen Log Start--------------------

Fatal server error:

I followed the guide for on the klipperscreen docs page to a T, but still cannot get it to work.
Iāve tried googling Failed to initialize Gtk but cannot find anything relevant to klipperscreenā¦
Not really sure what Iām doing wrongā¦ if anyone could assist I would be grateful.
Thanks,

Hi friends
I have a problem and I canāt solve it.
Installation went smoothly, but touch doesnāt work.
Could it be something on the smartphone?
thanks
sorry for the english of the translator.
So I am hoping for some assistance. I am trying to run two printer with two separate tablets on one host. Through github, I was advised that I would need two DISPLAY commands in my launch_KlipperScreen file. So I added the following command that reprensent my two tablets running xserver.
DISPLAY=192.168.0.7:0 $KS_XCLIENT && DISPLAY=192.168.0.89:1 $KS_XCLIENT
I got one of the printers working. When KS launches, it gives me the option to launch my RedRover printer or my WhiteLighting printer. The issue is, no matter which printer I choose, I am only able to control my RedRover printer. And the only tablet that launch KS is the tablet that is first in the DISPLAY= syntax.
So if I configure as the sample above then my 0.7 tablet launches KS. but if I flip it like below, then my 0.89 tablet launches KS. But never both of them, and my RR printer is the only one controllable regardless of what printer I select when KS launches.
DISPLAY=192.168.0.89:1 $KS_XCLIENT && DISPLAY=192.168.0.7:0 $KS_XCLIENT
I thought this could be an issue with my KlipperScreen.conf but after doing some tweaks to it, it doesnāt appear to make any different. Below is how it is set up. I tried storeing it in the root of my user folder, I also made copies and installed them under each printer folder in the config dir. See below example.
/home/solo/RedRover_data/config
/home/solo/WhiteLighting_data/config
Here is what is in my KlipperScreen.conf
[printer RedRover] moonraker_host: 127.0.0.1 moonraker_port: 7125
[printer WhiteLighting] moonraker_host: 127.0.0.1 moonraker_port: 7126
Ports have been verified multiple times. Can anyone give me a hand with this? Thanks!
I have an update. The first issue that only one printer being able to be control, has been resolved. Editing the KlipperScreen.conf file with the text below resolved that issue.
# Define printer and name. Name is anything after the first printer word
[printer RedRover]
# Define the moonraker host/port if different from 127.0.0.1 and 7125
moonraker_host: 127.0.0.1
# ports 443 and 7130 will use https/wss
moonraker_port: 7125
# Moonraker API key if this is not connecting from a trusted client IP
moonraker_api_key: False
# Define printer and name. Name is anything after the first printer word
[printer WhiteLighting]
# Define the moonraker host/port if different from 127.0.0.1 and 7126
moonraker_host: 127.0.0.1
# ports 443 and 7130 will use https/wss
moonraker_port: 7126
# Moonraker API key if this is not connecting from a trusted client IP
moonraker_api_key: False
Now I can switch between printers from ONE tablet. But I need to be able to use two tablets. So this issue I believe has to do with my launch_KlipperScreen.sh file. Could the formatting be wrong?
I was able to resolve my issue. So to sum up, in order to get multiple printers on the same host, running KlipperScreen on multiple tablets/phones, you need to first edit the KlipperScreen.conf file that is stored "~/home// See a sample of mine below.
KlipperScreen.conf
Second, you need to edit the ālaunch_KlipperScreen.shā to launch on the proper displays. I just followed this tutorial. Android - KlipperScreen
Where I deviated, is to accommodate for multiple tablets. So instead of following the tutorial, I changed the āDISPLAYā line to account for multiple tablets running xserver by adding an ā&ā between the displays. See example below.
DISPLAY=192.168.0.7:0 $KS_XCLIENT & DISPLAY=192.168.0.89:0 $KS_XCLIENT
sample-launch_KlipperScreen.sh
I hope this helps anyone trying a similar set up. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
