Welcome to the Raspberry Pi forums.

"I followed your steps at this url... "


That documentation appears to be from a third party unrelated to Raspberry Pi.



Could it simply be that you need to set a non-default display resolution, which you can do using the raspi-config tool via an SSH interactive terminal session?

Firstly, Thanks for the welcome. I actually accessed from ssh and changed the default resolution but didn't work. I always try every possible-logical solutions before posting at any forums and this was most solution for my issue but unfortunately didn't work for me. btw when i use df -h to see the free space it gives me 100% on root. this might be the problem?

It is certainly a problem that needs to be solved before you can make any sensible use of your Raspbian/RPi system.



Also, do you really need a later version of Python3 than the v3.7.3 release shipped with Debian Buster, and hence with Raspbian?

I didn't have 3.7.3 but 3.5.3 so i had to upgrade to a newer one for some libs to work. but now i am stuck even apt-get update giving me errors

It looks like a space issue. I never had all of these Raspbian errors. Don't you think so? is it possible to remove the 3.5.3 completely in clean way?

This is not a default Raspbian Stretch Source !!


Also since last June Raspbian Buster has been the supported Operating System:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/buster ... -raspbian/

https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... pdating.md

So it may be worth grabbing a new SD Card and starting with Buster !

Agreed. As previously discussed.


So: obsolete version of Python3; superceded Raspbian Operating System; no space on root filesystem.


I too would solve all 3 with a fresh installation of the current Raspbian Buster Operating System.
