Work on Raspbian lite about lcd-show HOT 10 CLOSED

It worked for me on latest Raspbian Lite, but I had to add this line to the /boot/config.txt:

dtoverlay=waveshare35a

I also commented out the line starting with dtoverlay=ads7846 (which shouldn't be necessary if you add your new entry after that one)

(for completeness I need to add that I also installed the xserver-org xinit lightdm packages along with my desktop manager, and that I followed all the steps from the readme file of this repo, also including the last lines, and that I didn't install what you posted, so it's not exactly the same scenario as you have it)

Thanks I will try that out and report back

Also important: install the xinput-calibrator_0.7.5-1_armhf.deb and xserver-xorg-input-evdev_1%3a2.10.3-1_armhf.deb files from this repo, e. g. like this: sudo apt install ./xinput-calibrator_0.7.5-1_armhf.deb && sudo apt install ./xserver-xorg-input-evdev_1%3a2.10.3-1_armhf.deb

@jonathan-reisdorf

What do you mean by desktop manager? :)

from lcd-show.

I must have meant "window manager", I think I was using i3wm at that time, but shouldn't matter

When I tried finding a solution, I was recommended to use putty for it to work.
Hasn't played out yet because it wouldn't install when I typed sudo install putty -y.

If the solution(s) above work, will there be a final step-by-step guide (like the first comment)?
I'm just new to Linux and coding as a whole.

@ForgivenNin putty is something that you'd install on Windows as an ssh client, not something to install on the raspberry itself. If you use Windows, just download putty from their website, otherwise, you can skip this step. If ssh access doesn't yet work because the raspberry pi refuses to connect, you need to run sudo raspi-config and then enable it there.

Thank you for clarifying.

So I continued to try to make it work, but according to the pi, git is not a command.

from lcd-show.

You'll need to install git on your pi, typically you'd to that with the sudo apt-get install git command
