I used the show\_image function that the same gui\_example\_skill used as “self.gui.show\_image(“[https://source.unsplash.com/1920x1080/?+random](https://source.unsplash.com/1920x1080/?+random)”, “Example Long Caption That Needs Wrapping Very Long Long Text Text Example That Is”, “Example Title”)”. I can not successfully display the image in my picroft screen. I used pi 4b and LCD output.  
I also tried to install gui\_example\_skill in my pi and trigger by Show Simple Image Example, but nothing happens.  
Does anyone know what is missing here to show the image in my picroft env?  
Thanks a lot in advance.

do you have [GitHub - MycroftAI/mycroft-gui: The Graphical User Interface used by the Mycroft Mark II and more](https://github.com/MycroftAI/Mycroft-gui) installed ? I don’t believe the picroft environment can support gui currently because debian buster has outdated packages

I have tried to install [mycroft-gui](https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-gui) into my picroft env but seems not supporting yet.  
I actually need to show an QR code image or open a web browser to that link in my picroft env, do you have suggestions on how I can reach that goal?  
Thank you so much!
