How can I fix this

This is the code

local paintgui = paintutils.loadImage("/gui/paint")
paintutils.drawImage(paintgui, 0, 0)
term.setCursorPos(24,7)
print("Path")
term.setCursorPos(1,8)
input = io.read()
shell.run("/programs/paint/paint, input")

The error: No such program
/programs/paint/paint exist

Two things. The program is actually in /rom/programs/color/paint, and that you haven't separated your arguments for shell.run. Also, you can just run 'paint' without having to type it's full, actual path. The last line should go something like this:

shell.run("paint", "input")

Is it? I seem to recall it being in rom/programs/color/paint for some reason.

Yep, it's /color/paint, my mistake.

I have now but i get this error: paintstart:7: attempt to index ? (a nil value)

local paintgui = paintutils.loadImage("/gui/paint")
paintutils.drawImage(paintgui, 0, 0)
term.setCursorPos(24,7)
print("Path")
term.setCursorPos(1,8)
input = io.read()
shell.run("paint", "input")

I'm not sure if this is it, but you should probably remove the quotes around "input" on the last line.

If I have this I only see 7 when i give a input.

local paintgui = paintutils.loadImage("/gui/paint")
paintutils.drawImage(paintgui, 0, 0)
term.setCursorPos(24,7)
print("Path")
term.setCursorPos(1,8)
input = io.read()
print("7")
shell.run("paint", input)
print("9")
