I've figured out now. I ran "python weather.py" in command line mode, so it will show the error msg. If I ran it in the Desktop mode. It works!!

@holson-zhong is there something I could change about the documentation to help? Also, what exactly do you mean by desktop mode?

Yes, it might be help when you change about the documentation, it should declare that this script CAN'T RUN IN COMMAND LINE. Desktop mode is the meaning of GUI, when I run this script in my raspberry pi through the keyboard and mouse ( actually it was double clicked my mouse), it works. But when I run the script through the putty and command line, it shows the error message. Haoxiang Zhong Mob:[phone] Gene Liverman <[e-mail]> 于2019年12月13日周五 上午4:27写道：

This should work without a GUI just fine. It can utilize a frame buffer to display the graphical bits. It’s intended to work with any of these drivers:

PiWeatherRock/weather.py

Line 142 in 6352d69

 drivers = ['x11', 'fbcon', 'directfb', 'svgalib'] 

I just pulled out an old Pi I had in storage so I’ll double check this is all working as expected and then comment back.

I just did a fresh install of Rasbian 10 Lite with the following steps and everything worked:

1. ran raspi-config
2. installed git, vim, & python3-pip
3. cloned this repo
4. created my config file with vim
5. ran the apt-get install command from the readme
6. ran pip3 install -r requirements.txt
7. ran python3 weather.py

I suspect the no driver found issue was because you were not running it from the local tty (tty1). Feel free to reopen if you have more info you'd like me to look into
