I would like to run Chiaki (Playstation Remote Play https://github.com/Fredrum/chiaki) on my raspberrypi zero WH running raspberrypiOS lite (so no GUI).

running chiaki itself on a raspberry pi(zero included) with a GUI is already possible (https://github.com/Fredrum/chiaki/wiki/Chiaki-for-the-Raspberry-Pi).

What i would like to do tu run this app from an OS without GUI in a way that it open a full-screen window.

Is that possible?

i have already tried to run it and i get the following error: "qt.qpa.screen: QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display"

  • run this app from an OS without GUI in a way that it open a full-screen window ... this is unclear ... where does the full-screen window run?

  • This is what I’m trying to figure out. More in general is it possible to run a GUI app from raspberry OS lite?

  • It was at one time possible (and may still be) to compile qt to run on the framebuffer. You could dig into that, but I think it is not worthwhile (which is why I also think this was abandoned some years ago), because in the end it does not have much use value for the same reason I think there is a minor XY problem in this: What you really want is to run a fullscreen app without the clutter of taskbars and such, not necessarily "no GUI".

  • ...The GUI stack is layered (hence "stack"), with upper layers adding functionality but dependent on those beneath them. The bottom of this in userland is the Xorg server; without any of the layers on top it presents a blank screen with just a mouse cursor. You can't do anything with it as a user, since the mouse buttons do nothing or near enough, and there is nothing to click on or control.

    ...However, you can configure it to launch an app when it starts, in which case you do get a (potentially fullscreen) window (no frame or topbar tho). Look around for stuff about creating a kiosk and you'll find a more detailed explanation.
