Pi 4B 1GB, Bookworm Desktop 32-bit, Wayland and 'labwc'
If I make a remote connection to this Pi I can run Python 3 programs which use PyGame and they all execute. When I try to run them from a Terminal opened from the desktop they all report the PyGame module is not found. I am also seeing slightly different behaviour depending on what I remotely connect in to -
For "labwc" I guess I no longer need to specify the display to use, and for X11 and "wayfire" I simply haven't remembered the correct prefix yet. I will return to that once the bigger problem is fixed.
The problem when run under the desktop initially appeared to be the virtual environment not being activated on auto-login. I added some logging to '.profile' so I could see what was happening. That looks okay following "reboot", "desktop auto-login", open a terminal, look at the logs -The time stamp on the last would seem to indicate the first were booting or start-up events. The last opening the terminal.
So in all cases it appears the virtual environment were activated. But if I try to run a PyGame using program ...And running my tool which shows what the Python environment is, it seems it's not activated.If I now make a remote connection, there's an extra log entry added -My tool reports the virtual environment is active, and 'pygame' is in the search path ...And my PyGame using code executes ...And I am looking at the pretty colours as expected on my monitor.
I used to be able to run PyGame programs from a desktop Terminal shell, so why can't I now ? How do I figure out what's happening, fix that ?
