Job for octoscreen.service failed

Hi, I've been using Octoprint for a bit and decided to add the Octoscreen config with a HyperPixel screen, following the setup from Chris's Basement video. The developer mentions it in his FAQ, so I'm giving it a try.

I've been through the install numerous times, re-etching the downloaded img from OctoPrint site each time and I get the same failure and I can't find a solution.

After installing the OctoScreen plug-in, the screen starts to flash as if it's trying to start but the script throws the following error:

Job for octoscreen.service failed because the service did not take the steps required by its unit configuration. See "systemctl status octoscreen.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

I'm not very experienced with Linux and any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

The systemctl output seems to suggest the process is still starting up after 4 seconds. Nothing seems to have gone wrong yet.

While what I posted is over a very short time, this was the 4th attempt of trying to get past the issue so I was just collecting data. I've left it trying to start for over an hour and the screen continues to flash as if it's about to initiate but reverts to text. I have noticed that the Webcam daemon starts/stops repeatedly during startup sequence but it either times out or hits a retry count limit. Not sure if it's related.

A year later and I am having the same problem!

Were you able to fix this issue? And if so, do you remember what the solution was?

Thanks!
