Disable GPU? MESA-LOADER failure on fresh manual install

[sdetweil]

@Corvidael yes, you have to do it EVERY time you do npm start/npm run start

(you don’t need run for the start command, but do for any other)

so. however your autostart gets done, edit that to add the disable before the npm start

In the file MagicMirror/package.json, in the first liine of the “scripts” section, update the “start” line to be “start”: “DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron --disable-gpu js/electron.js”.

@butchkemper the ENV variable does it so u don’t have to edit package.json

@sdetweil … so, are you gonna add this to the script? 😉

[sdetweil]

@BKeyport no… it’s not fatal, just annoying.
maybe someone will figure out how to configure the video drivers in config.txt
