@Knight yes sadly the latest electron will not run on 3 year old stretch…

@sdetweil
My problem is resolved. I upgraded to bullseye and reinstalled the mirror. I used your alternative install script vs cloning manually. It worked flawlessly setting up the mirror and the pm2 autostart. So many thanks for that.

I think I spent more time getting the mirror to rotate properly than anything else. File locations have changed for bullseye vs some of the older versions so it took a little hunting around to get things configured.
But all good now. Thanks again!

Here everything works fine now except rotation of the screen …
Somebody have an idea?
I tried display_rotate=1 in config.txt; it looks good but as soon as MM starts the screen rotates back to the left.

@Peter use the preferences, top left on desktop, display rotation

Peter

@sdetweil preferences gives the same problem: screens turns back to normal after restarting MM.
I am trying custom CSS now (saw it somewhere).
Keep you informed.
Peter

sdetweil

@Peter take your stuff out of config.txt

Peter

@sdetweil did that.
Custom CSS did not do the job!
The search goes on.

I think it is a problem with V2.22.0
Before updating to this version everything worked fine.
I made a fresh OS and MM install a few weeks ago.
It was running fine until updating to 2.22.0
I hope somebody finds a solution for the screen rotation.

@Peter
I followed the instructions on this page.
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Configuring-the-Raspberry-Pi#enable-the-open-gl-driver-to-decrease-electrons-cpu-usage

They’re a little outdated because they deal with older versions also but the basic information is there.

Essentially, it seems that the Open GL driver is enabled by default now, so I had to:

sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
and added the following line.

@xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate right

Peter

@ecirpnaes thanks, will try it tomorrow.

@sdetweil Thanks, it worked after pi os update
