OctoDash: Getting errors and Octodash wont start

What doesn’t work? After what I believe was successful install (I was prompted that Octodash would launch upon reboot) I get errors and octodash will not start.

Errors shown on Pi Screen: Fatal Server Error: (EE) no screens found (EE) Please consult the X.org Foundation support… Server terminated with error (1) Closing log file xinit: giving up xinit: unable to connect to x server: Connection refused xinit: server error

Error shown on putty terminal from my desktop when trying to lauch with “octodash”:

(octodash:833): Gtk-WARNING **: 18:10:21.469: cannot open display:

What did you already try? Updated the raspberry Pi using sudo apt update and sudo apt full-upgrade

rebooted

installed display drivers using:

sudo rm -rf LCD-show
git clone https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git
chmod -R 755 LCD-show
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./LCD35-show

rebooted

enabled AutoLogin to Console

rebooted

executed export DISPLAY=:0 and ratpoison before octodash

rebooted

sudo chmod ug+s /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg

rebooted

I’ve tried all this several times and tried to reinstall unsing the script several times (this script: wget -qO- https://github.com/UnchartedBull/OctoDash/raw/master/scripts/install.sh | bash -s – --ptg)

The summary by @Jonnywayway did it for me after hours of troubleshooting. Perhaps mentioning on the troubleshooting section? My guess is that it gets rid of any conflicting garbage individual instances might contain.
