Black Screens during remote desktop
-
I try to setup a new mirror. I am working with remote desktop for configuration an testing. When I would like to try the modification via npm start in the console the screen is getting black - the screen on the mirror is working fine.
Any ideas? -
@chris1971 how are you doing remote desktop?
electron depends on x-windows
echo $DISPLAY
in your remote terminal windowI would make it accessible from the remote system
address:'0.0.0.0', ipWhitelist:[],in config.js
then u can start it over ssh
and access fro the system u are using for remote -
I use the remote desktop from Win 10. With the older system it works well.

with npm start I see following and then a black screen:
Pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start
magicmirror@2.22.0 start
