ERROR - Message: Unable to obtain driver for chrome using Selenium Manager

[laurkaarna]

Cant get the script to run due to chromedriver error. I see you have fixed that in render.py due to latest selenium updates but for me this doesnt seem to work. Followed your instructions and used legacy version of rpi OS. Checked $PATH and /usr/lib is present and chromedriver is located at /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver in my installation.

Running RPI3. Also dont have a PiSugar installed at the moment but that shouldnt stop it from running and should not be related to this error at the moment.

experiencing the same error on a Raspberry pi zero (v1) W. tried older version as advised but same messages as per laurkaarna. also recieving illegal action on chromium

I would advise against installing that project. Just look for alternatives since i don't see the owner fixing it. The infos on the readme are not up to date and some of the code is deprecated. The creator has advised to use Inkycal instead.

Try downgrading Selenium to 4.6

I solved this by compiling Python3.9 from source and splitting up the code into two phases:

1. Gather info from APIs and write image
2. Open and process image to display

The first phase uses Python3.9, the second uses the Python3 available in the mirrors for buster.
Compiling from source on the Pi Zero W is slow, but it works.
