Plugins
1

Rasbian 10 Buster amrv7l 32bit
Pi 4 B 1GB
Kernel 5.10.103-v7l+
OctoPrint 1.8.6
OctoPi 0.18.0

5 inch 800x480 touch screen working
octoscreen_2.7.4_armhf.deb

I installed OctoScreen according to the instructions.
I also saw two videos and followed the instructions exactly.
But instead of Octoscreen I only see the textconsole on the screen.

$ journalctl -r -u octoscreen
