I've the same issue. The octoscreen service doesn't start on boot.
I've fixed it adding the "sudo systemctl start octoscreen.service" line into the /etc/rc.local for now, and in this way, I can have octoscreen on boot, without send ssh command.
It's only a workaround but works fine for me for now.

same problem for me

[MonDroone]

I followed these instructions.
Octoscreen started well but, after rebooting the raspberry, octoscreen does not restart itself.
Is there a solution?

I had the wrong driver installed. Once I installed the waveshare driver and reinstalled octoscreen, it started working.

Did you install xf86-video-fbturbo? It's mandatory for some types of screens.

[fsalinasc]

I have the same problem.
Any way to auto start?

[alexkv]

Run command:
sudo service octoscreen status
And show what it returns

[MonDroone]

After >>> sudo service octoscreen status
I have this return :
● octoscreen.service - OctoScreen
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/octoscreen.service; enabled; vendor prese
Active: inactive (dead)

lines 1-3/3 (END)

[alexkv]

Did you try to reinstall octoscreen once again?
What hardware and OS do you use?

[MasterTim17]

im using latest octoprint image.
this is the result of sudo service octoscreen status
● octoscreen.service - OctoScreen Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/octoscreen.service; enabled; vendor prese Active: activating (start) since Mon 2019-09-23 18:12:35 BST; 1s ago Main PID: 1900 (xinit) CGroup: /system.slice/octoscreen.service ├─1900 /usr/bin/xinit /usr/bin/OctoScreen -- :0 -nolisten tcp -nocurs ├─1902 /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg :0 -nolisten tcp -nocursor └─1919 /usr/bin/OctoScreen
the install was successful, i choosed a option, which enables octoscreen as default window manager (?). buy after reboot on the screen it always show the octopi login screen

Did you try to reinstall octoscreen once again?
What hardware and OS do you use?

I have reinstalled octoscreen and it remains the same.
Raspberry Pi 3 and Raspbian Stretch.
To make it work, every time I restart, I have to send by ssh
sudo systemctl restart octoscreen.service

Did you try to reinstall octoscreen once again?
What hardware and OS do you use?

After each reboot, I have to send by ssh
sudo systemctl restart octoscreen.service
When octoscreen is already running, shipping
sudo service octoscreen status
and this is the result:

Check issue #34. The service needs to be enabled. It might come up as active but "dead". Check with systemctl. If so, make sure you have set the Pi to boot into graphical environment with login (might work without auto-login).

[tiagomaricate]

Does anybody manage to fix this error?

I found this instruction, but the struggling with the spi display was too much, so I bought a hdmi display
Thanks for the help
