MagicMirror stutters and doesn't run smoothly

@sdetweil
yes I installed the latest MagicMirror installation under Ubuntu with this automatic script:
bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)”

where can you change the value of “ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU=1”?
or under ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh >change it like in the picture?

I have enough performance with my hardware.

Thanks for your help.

@drx1984 swap lines 4 and 5. and you forgot the ‘export’ keyword on line 5

in Linux, by default environment variable are not passed to children processes

and yes the script was mine.

@sdetweil
aha ok, you mean like this:

?

sdetweil

@drx1984 yes…

then

pm2 status

to see what apps pm2 controls
then

pm2 restart xxx

where xxx is the number on the row, or the name on the row
examples

pm2 restart 0

or

pm2 restart MagicMirror

drx1984

@sdetweil OK, thanks, I’ll test it.
Question: Is it possible to switch on exactly the same parameters for the GPU with MagicMirror in Windows?
export ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU=1 ?

sdetweil

@drx1984 yes, you just don’t use the ‘export’ keyword on Windows

we don’t supply a .cmd file for Windows, and I don’t provide the install script or install pm2.

but its all the same functionally…

drx1984

@sdetweil aha ok then to line 4:
ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU=1

sdetweil

@drx1984 if you are running under windows native… you don’t need to run in lsr
if you ARE running under lsr, then u need the ‘export’

just open cmd.exe and follow instructions in doc…
have to manually install nodejs on windows and git.

then a windows mm.cmd file

@echo off
cd %home%\MagicMirror
ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU=1
npm start

then execute

%home%\mm.cmd

@sdetweil what do you mean by LSR? what does that mean?
I have now done this:
Of course, with “npm run server” it runs in the browser.
but how do I do it natively on the computer itself? When I enter the command “npm run start” there is an error in the cmd, something with the display.
I wonder if I did everything correctly, as you described it.

sdetweil

@drx1984 DISPLAY… you didn’t follow all the instructions …

see https://docs.magicmirror.builders/getting-started/installation.html#other-operating-systems

LSR (you can install the linux system runtime under windows too) …
