Hi @therussian.

This is an error that occurs when you set the GPU memory to less than 32 (I’m assuming that that’s MBs). You can check a GitHub issue describing this here. It is an informative error, as the AutoPi device isn’t supposed to handle graphical user interfaces anyways. We’re working on a fix to silence this error, as it doesn’t affect our devices.

Best
Nikola
