### Basic Information: Printer Model: Ender 6 MCU / Printerboard: V4.3.1 Host / SBC: PI 3 model B+ klippy.log _Fill out above information and_ **_in all cases attach your_ `klippy.log` _file_** (use zip to compress it, if too big). _Pasting your_ `printer.cfg` _is **not** needed_ _ **Be sure to check our “Knowledge Base” Category first. Most relevant items, e.g. error messages, are covered there** _ ### Describe your issue: I don’t know if this is the right place to ask but installing klipperscreen keeps failing. Klipper, Mainsail and Moonraker were no problem. Klipper runs on the PI and I printed with it via mainsail without problem. Everything was installed with KIAUH, exept Klipperscreen, here I get the message that it is incomplete after the failed installation. I have tried it again several times but it keeps failing. ![klipperscreen error](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/klipper/original/2X/9/9fa3132c019466f681f3883e3c4c504294c2b00f.png) ---

Try ```bash sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/xterm.list # <-- Check /var/lib/dpkg/info/ for the correct name, but should be 'xterm' sudo apt install xterm --reinstall ``` ---

Tried the suggested 2x but got the following message, see pic ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/klipper/original/2X/a/ae7999466c5512a9cca89490f58bb34e1d92062a.png) ---

What kind of Linux distribution is this? It seems the Linux installation is pretty much screwed up. Never seen such errors. It also throws the same for some `libhtml-parser-perl`. I’d take a fresh SD card and provision a new original “Raspberry Pi OS” on it and redo the Klipper install with KIAUH. Probably a lot faster than trying to fix this. ---

Thanks, I’ll give it a try, I got new 32GB SD cards. If I use the Raspberry Pi Imager and KIAUH I can assume that I have a good version of the software. What I noticed is that after the SD cards that are written with the imager and I put them back in the pc, only 250MB remains of the original 128GB size. Is this normal? ---

Ok, good to know. In the meantime I got my two raspberries working again, everything seems to work. What was strange, first I installed and tested everything except klipperscreen. Only then I installed klipperscreen with KIAUH, on the PI it worked immediately and I could operate the printer. What did not work anymore was via PUTTY, here everything remained blocked after the installation of Klipperscreen and I did not get a KIAUH menu anymore. After the reboot everything worked normally again, I am not worried about it, I just wanted to mention it. Thanks for the help, I learned something new again. Dirk ---
