Hi guys, I just set up a fresh Mainsail setup for my Ender 3 V2. I got the KlipperScreen package installed and it GUI came right up however the touchscreen wouldn’t work at all.

Mainboard is a Creality 4.2.2 and the touchscreen is a 7" RPi unit on a 3b+.

Now I can’t get the GUI to come up at all, all I see on the screen is it asking me to login. No matter what autologin method I choose it won’t boot into KlipperScreen at all anymore.

I was in the same boat and tried every fix with my gpio mhs3508 screen. The solution that worked was using an older (buster) based install. I could do the same steps as below with bullseye and couldnt get past the console…

For future me to refer to:

Install buster 32bit via raspberry pi imager  
Update  
Install lcdshow (at 270 degrees)  
Install kiauh  
Install, klipper, mainsail, klipperscreen, crowsnest  
Run lcd calibration

Hopefully someday whatever issue is blocking my lcd is resolved in bullseye…
