Octodash touch function not working newest octopi update

What is the problem?

Touchscreen not working for octodash after newest octoprint update. I just bought a BTT tft50 v2.0 screen for my pi that came in a bundle with my new octopus board. I haven't yet setup the printer because I am trying to conquer this hurdle first. If I install rasberry pi os (32bit) my touch functionality works fine. But if I do a clean image of octopi (latest version) and install octodash I get to the "Hey there" welcome screen in octodash but my touch function does not work. I can't press next. If I am doing something wrong please let me know but I have a feeling it's an issue with the newest version of octopi as my touch works on all other os's. It seems like octopi disables something in the back end and the touch stops working. If anyone knows of a fix or a command to type into ssh I would greatly apreciate it. I am very new to all this ssh stuff and commands etc but I learn quick and I am pretty good with computers etc. Also I have tried sudo apt-get install and upgrade etc. didn't help.

What did you already try to solve it?

I tried fresh install of everything, raspberry pi os with all updates works fine but if I install a fresh image of octopi on my pi and install octodash my touch stops working.

Have you tried running in safe mode?

Not sure how to

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

Hello @FatCatMedia_FCM !

Blue words are links.


Please provide the systeminfo bundle.

Thank you.

The link you sent shows how to start octpi in safe mode, how do I start octodash in safe mode? Octopi in safe mode made no changes.

It has to be something to do with the new version of octopi and it disabling a service or something to stop the touch function working. Is there a way to see what services and drivers are running and a way to turn on any service/driver that is disabled?

No, it shows how to start OctoPrint in safe mode.

I don't think there is a save mode for OctoDash.

Also you can get more info here:

issue fixed. Turns out is has to do with dtoverlay. BTT pi TFT50 Touch Screen not working... · Issue #3707 · UnchartedBull/OctoDash · GitHub is a link to github where I explain how to fix it.
