    So one of my installs is mm.sh and the other is run-start.sh.

    The mm.sh one only shows this error in start.

    [2883:1218/201556.298300:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(590)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.portal.Settings.Read: object_path= /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop was not provided by any .service files

    I think this has been covered and is insignificant, correct?

    The run-start.sh one I’m going to reinstall.

    Not sure how I ended up with 2 different installs, pretty I used your script.

    So heres a question for ease of troubleshooting.

    What if I do a couple dedicated proxmox lxc for servers and run the raspi displays as clients? I haven’t tried this method yet.

      Made change. No dice on my original MM device 4x4 pixelsquare. Black screen plus cursor. Startup out looks clean.

        @nx3xo run-start is done when I cannot find electron or it’s armv6l

        then I just launch chromium over the mm server

          I would like to sort this self hosted mm instance. It runs perfect in the web browser. Just blank screen with cursor. Is it possible a module can prevent everything from launching if it is too large and overlaps others?

            @nx3xo how about the browser on the host looking at http://localhost:mm_port
