Raspberry Pi 3b and LCD 7" 1024x600: No GUI after install

[GeorgAubele]

Latest Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit)

After the following commands over SSH

sudo rm -rf LCD-show
git clone https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git
chmod -R 755 LCD-show
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./LCD7C-show 

I get a short warning:
"cp: cannot stat '/etc/rc.local': No such file or directory"

After that the device reboots and does only show a CLI.

I am experiencing the same issue on
Debian Trixie (64-bit) using the 7-inch HDMI Display-C-1024x600 (MPI7002). After installing the driver, the system boots directly into the Command Line Interface (CLI) instead of the desktop environment.

I have confirmed that the 32-bit version suffers from the same problem; however, the GUI can still be launched manually by running startx.

Additionally, please note that in Bookworm and Trixie, rc.local is considered a legacy backport. It would be better to implement this functionality as a proper systemd service.
