Hey @lokeshv23, sorry to hear that you’re facing issues with the Shadow App on the Raspberry Pi.

 

Have you followed the exact steps listed on our help center article? - https://help.shadow.tech/hc/en-gb/articles/6387060736668

 

Can you try reinstalling the app? It’s possible that there might be something off with your distri/network, even maybe the DNS. Are you using a school or a company network? If so, try using a different network to install Shadow.

 

Should that not work, I recommend asking on our Discord server to see if anyone on there can assist you out: https://shdw.me/discord-en 

Thank you @Jonathan from Shadow for your reply. 

 

I will look into Discord shortly to seek out help. So far here is my experience - 

 

Raspberry Pi (8GB) - Running Raspberry Pi OS 

  1. Had to download libxcb-cursor0  lib from https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/arm64/libxcb-cursor0/download
  2. Install the downloaded package and then install shadow-arm64.deb
  3. However, I am able to login into shadow app but it ending up with a blank screen - tried with ethernet connection - same result

 

Raspberry Pi (8GB) - Running Ubuntu 22.04 (little slower)

  1. Had to install libxcb-cursor0 via sudo apt-get install
  2. Install the package -shadow-arm64.deb
  3. However, I am able to login into shadow app but it ending up with a blank screen - tried with ethernet connection - same result

 

I dont see it is network issues as I was able to use shadow without issues in an old android tablet on Wifi.

Hey @lokeshv23,

 

Here’s what I heard back from the devs. You might be using a Linux distribution that does not have the required dependency libxcb-cursor0.

 

Package libxcb-cursor0 is available on official Raspberry PI OS. Unfortunately, we do not support other distributions.

 

Are you able to send us logs of this? This way the team can look into this further in the future? - https://help.shadow.tech/hc/en-gb/articles/360000541374-How-to-send-diagnostic-logs-to-Shadow-Support

 

Feel free to share the log codes here.
