@sdetweil yes, I have done, but now, when i start the mirror, I have lxde on the background…
Is correct ?

sdetweil

I have lxde on the background

i don’t know what you mean

what is ‘start the mirror’? boot, or type a command, if command, what command

how did you install mm? manual , or my script?

what did you do to ‘start’ the mirror on boot if a manual install?

emadragon

@sdetweil I used MM as in the Magic Mirror documentation, now, when Rasperry Boot, start Lxde, than start Magic Mirror

How can i start only Magic Mirror ?
It’s possible?

sdetweil

@emadragon I don’t know…

my scripts use the node process manager (pm2) so that its the same on every platform

the fixuppm2 script at the bottom of the page…

then u would undo what the lxde setup was

then its auto started on boot…
but you can control it with the pm2 command

pm2 status
pm2 stop xx (or all)
pm2 start xx (or all)
pm2 restart xx

output is captured to two logs

pm2 logs --lines=nn
(nn is some number, 15 by default)

you can redirect that output to a file to view it if there issues

during development and test, I don’t use pm2, I just

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start >somefile.txt 2>&1

then it captures all the output to ~/MagicMirror/somefile.txt
ctrl-q on the MM screen stops it
ctrl-m minimizes

once u have everything working , then reboot or pm2 start all
