I know this is a non software related question, but since I think it depends on the image, I'll ask my question anyway.

-I downloaded the image "qlcplus_raspbian_buster_20190825.7z"
- I used win32imager to write it to an SD
- I connected my Pi3 to wifi, expanded the filesystem and enabled SSH

Reboot: Pi starts and software starts.
so far so good.

Via SSH (putty) I do apt-get update and apt get upgrade, no problems there

Now, Since I use a XPT2046 touchscreen (5 inch) I have to install the drivers
the screen works, but the touch doesn't.

To install the drivers: (goodtft/lcd-show.git)
-sudo rm -rf lcd-show
- git clone https://......

First problem: git not found
- sudo apt-get install git
first problem solved.

- git clone https://...
gets cloned. good.

- chmod -R 755 LCD-show
- cd LCD-show
- sudo ./LCD5-show

Error: cannot create regular file '/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf': No such file or directory
Dependency problems
sudden reboot...
I tried to install xserver-xorg-video-fbturbo
I tried sudo apt-get -f install

I try sudo ./lcd5-show again. no errors, but a sudden reboot again.

From the first sudden reboot, the pi starts, but hangs at a login line, the qlc software doesn't start.

I formatted the SD and wrote the image again, same steps as above, same problems as above.
I really don't know where to go from here. Any help is very much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Paul
