      @sdetweil The screen is attached to the hardware and is intended to be the screen I will be using for the project. It’s a Pi 4

          Followed your instructions again. This came up. The repeated forecast doesn’t seem to change, but the two bigger texts were popping up and changing.

              @sdetweil Correct, didn’t get any output. I did it manually, maybe try reinstalling?

                mv MagicMirror MagicMirror.old

                  Completed the steps you outlined. Moved the directory and then ran the install script your provided. Looks like a similar problem is still popping up. The 2nd image is fullscreen screenshot with the 1st showing an example of how it changes if the size of the window is changed.

                    @mrdger strange…

                    ok, my guess is a bad cable from pi to display

                    I had seen some flakiness on DVI-D display with an hdmi->DVI adapter…
                    a different adapter had no trouble with the same cable

                      @mrdger did you setup for autostart using the manual procedure?

                      pm2 replaces that… so you should dlete that setup if you did it… (as it looks like with 2 autostarts)

                        @sdetweil It is on a hdmi to dvi adapter, but I actually have a different cable arriving today, so I’ll attempt again after it gets here. Thank you for all your help so far. The autostart feature asked be during the install if I wanted to use it, a y/N option, and I selected y. Should I change anything about that?
