      Hi I'm trying to get my 2.8" screen to work with retropie.

      This is the screen that I have.
      https://www.aliexpress.com/item/J34-F85-Free-Shipping-2-8-240x320-SPI-TFT-LCD-Serial-Port-Module-PCB-Adapter-Micro/32602444645.html?spm=2114.40010208.4.2.mzAs3e

      I have the gpio pins placed based off of this post.
      https://hackaday.io/project/6157/instructions

      And I'm following this guide before I try the hackaday guide.
      https://learn.adafruit.com/running-opengl-based-games-and-emulators-on-adafruit-pitft-displays/pitft-setup

      When I run sudo bash pitft-fbcp.sh it goes through and stops at "100% [3 Packages xz 0 B] [Waiting for headers]" and I can't exit out of it.

      Thanks in advance.

      Also here's the full output of the command

        @Yamt are you overclocked ? bad sdcard ? Or networking problem ? The point where it has crashed is when it updates the package database etc - looks like it's waiting for a response from a remote server which could point to a networking issue, or something else has caused it to crash (ssh in and type dmesg - it might provide some info).

          It was a network problem. I got it to run the commands, but on reboot it doesn't display to the screen.
