      The test I’m referring to checks to see if X is running. If not, it moves on to test for Lubuntu. If that also fails, it assumes server only and moves on.

      I do recall seeing a specific Docker test at the very beginning of the script, but that’s a fair bit earlier than where I’ve added this check (which is right before the “pgrep Xorg” line).

        @ember1205 yes… i am looking for a test that works if the system is slow…

        i added the rm of ./config folder and my pi 0 now comes up instead of the chrome desktop
        which was random before…

                if [ $(which $b). != '.' ]; then
                     rm -rf ~/.config/$b 2>/dev/null   # add this line

          Not sure I’m following what this should mean?

            @ember1205 you had another problem where chrome comes up to the white screen w the icons. that is the chrome desktop.

            i added the delete of the config folder to the run start script to get it back to just MagicMirror

                  I removed the check I was running that was ensuring it would start correctly and put in the line you asked. I believe the log info you want is this:

                  0|mm       | + '[' -f ./untrack-css.sh ']'
                  0|mm       | + grep docker /proc/1/cgroup -qa
                  0|mm       | + '[' -z :0 ']'
                  0|mm       | ++ uname -m
                  0|mm       | + arch=armv7l
                  0|mm       | + false=false
                  0|mm       | ++ grep -i serveronly:
                  0|mm       | ++ awk -F: '{print tolower($2)}'
                  0|mm       | ++ tr -d ',"'\''\r'
                  0|mm       | ++ grep -v '^[[:blank:]]*//' config/config.js
                  0|mm       | ++ sed -e 's/^[[:space:]]*//'
                  0|mm       | + serveronly=local
                  0|mm       | + serveronly=local
                  0|mm       | + xprop -root
                  0|mm       | xprop:  unable to open display ':0'
                  0|mm       | ++ pgrep Xorg
                  0|mm       | + xorg=
                  0|mm       | + '[' . == . ']'
                  0|mm       | ++ pgrep X
                  0|mm       | + xorg=
                  0|mm       | ++ uname
                  0|mm       | + mac=Linux
                  0|mm       | + '[' local. '!=' false. -o armv7l == armv6l ']'
                  0|mm       | + '[' local. == true. ']'
                  0|mm       | + '[' . == . -a Linux '!=' Darwin ']'
                  0|mm       | + node serveronly
                  
                  

                  Here’s the rest that goes with it “just in case”:

                        @ember1205 ok, do this

                        cd ~/MagicMirror
                        curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/test/run-start.sh >run-start.sh
                        

                        edit the MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

                        add a line before the npm start

                        export wait_for_x=1 
                        

                        (or true, or ANYTHING)
                        the value can be anything

                        edit the run-start.sh and add the -x on the 1st line again

                        do the pm2 flush
                        pm2 restart

                        just to test
                        then do the reboot test
