# Last resort to make the screen work

If the screen never shows the console or bootup text during startup, Then it's typically an improperly installed screen
See [Physical install issues](Physical_Install.md)

![boot](../img/troubleshooting/boot.png)

If the screen shows the bootup text, but ends in a blinking cursor or login prompt,
and no matter what you tried in [Troubleshooting](../Troubleshooting.md) you can't make it work, then do this:

1. Install a distro with a desktop enviromenment [Click to learn how to check](../../FAQ/#how-to-check-if-you-have-a-desktop-environment)

2. Ensure that the screen is working properly (display and touch)

3. Deactivate the Desktop Environment to let KlipperScreen exclusively

    ```sh title="On a terminal type this command and press enter"
    sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target && sudo reboot
    ```

4. Wait for the reboot and install KlipperScreen
