Hi all,
I was trying to practice with the W3 Assignment 1 with Lunar Lander with my local jupyter notebook and am keep facing the following error with pyvirtualdisplay.Display.
I am runnng on Windows 11 and not sure if how I can resolve this after tons of googling.
Sounds like maybe you don’t have all of the assignment assets installed on your computer.
Actually I have them installed all…
I don’t have any other ideas on this.
Hello @sjerin ,
Your screenshot said “Output is truncated”. Perhaps there is something else that worths our attention. The key is to find out what file is missing. Please share the whole output.
Cheers,
Raymond
Hello @rmwkwok
Thank you for your consideration and help, the below is the entire output:
(FYI, I had all the files needed for this practice lab in the my working directory and had the packages installed as well)

Hi @sjerin,
I will take a look at it later. The lab was tested in a linux environment, and apparently you were running it on a Windows.
By the way, @sjerin, if you think you have installed all necessary files and packages, there might be something unique to Linux that does not exist on Windows. You might look into that direction, and start searching the name of the package of the function Display. Let me know if you have any updates.
Cheers,
Raymond
Seems like incompatible versions of some of the packages or Python itself.
