dri3 extension not supported

[leftyleo]

i get this error right from a fresh install

Pi 3B Ver2
Rasp Pi OS 64bit (not lite per install instructions) and from raspberypi.com site directly, verified hash

I went through the manual install steps for MM.
it starts but i get this error. is it important?
Any idea what this is?
I cant seen to find anything about it on either the MM forum or the RaspPi forum.

The only reference to dri3 seems to be with display drivers? the first message after “npm run start” returned :

> magigmirror@2.20.0 start
> DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

Perhaps i need to go to 32-bit (but not lite, per install instructions) ?

@leftyleo yeh, 64 bit os not ready.

that error is a video driver problem.

you ‘might’ be able to fix this by disabling use of the gpu.

edit package.json and change

"start": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",

to

"start": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron --disable-gpu  js/electron.js",

@sdetweil
that cleared the error thank you

–if you think i should switch to 32-bit Raspian i will do that as well

the Raspian desktop is slightly outside (larger than) the monitor screen, but the MM is displayed well inside the borders so if i get it all set on this monitor i will stick to this one.

@leftyleo no switch just understand there are still flaky things… some modules w binaries most likely won’t work, pir, any gpio stuff…

[leftyleo]

@sdetweil - ok i was incorrect - i am still getting that error but with the default config (less the ‘compliments’ module) the MM still works - so maybe it is not an issue
– i tried two other modules and cant get them to work
such as MMM-JEOPARDY - I saw posts in other threads and it is exact but something isnt right.

• i will work on it some more, search threads before making a new question. I have to be sure it isnt something i just mis-optioned, typo… need to look at it tomorrow with fresh eyes

[sdetweil]

@leftyleo many modules suffer from this

[leftyleo]

@sdetweil i just hope to get mostly basic stuff weather, clock, google calendar , change the background from black… that kind of stuff.

[sdetweil]

@leftyleo yeh but jeopardy isn’t in the list u just gave,. lol

[leftyleo]

@sdetweil -LOL- thought i would start simple… Jeopardy works now. going to try to relocate it , and loose that image. (Sorry, Alex)

I am sure there are lots of options that i cant locate.
The hunting for the answers before asking is part of my learning challenge.

@leftyleo not to hijack this thread. But since you were thinking of going from 64 to 32 bit os…
I am getting the same error on a fresh sd card on a rpi 3B with buster 32bit installed. It has manually installed MagicMirror, node, etc., no extra modules, just the config sample copied to be config.js.
