When I try to run balena-dash on a Raspberry Pi 3 with official 7" touch screen, I'm not seeing anything on the screen when the browser should be showing up.

Observations:

  • Confirmed screen is fine by using normal Raspberry Pi OS. Result is that both screen and touch work fine
  • Tried "Deploy with Balena" button, did not resolve my issue
  • When I turn on the pi I see the rainbow splash screen. Then just black
  • LAUNCH_URL is set, and I can use the web UI to set the URL, it just doesn't show anything on the screen.

Can you suggest anything I can do to narrow this issue down? This project has worked for me in the past with this same raspberry pi, but it has been a year or so.

After noticing that an error in the log was showing "./tohora file not found" I found this stack overflow question that pointed me in the right direction. The solution to this issue was to use the Raspberry Pi 3 device in Balena (not Raspberry Pi 64 bit).
