My new MagicMirror will not start with Wayland?

[rkorell]

Good Morning!
after my last posting regarding display-stop with X11 (MMM-Universal-Pir) I’ve decided to try to get things to run with Wayland.
Unfortunately this doesn’t work :-(
I’ve disabled X11 / enabled Wayland in raspi-config and done a reboot.
Magic Mirror than doesn’t come up - no surprise.

Then I’ve tried

npm run start:wayland

This exits with an error message from electron :

What to do to get it fixed?
is
fixuppm2.sh a possible solution?

Thanks for any hint!
Ralf

@sdetweil Thanks!

overall it doesn’t work for me :-(
system is so slow that even editing config.js took 8 seconds to load the tiny file from pi to Laptop…
So I’ve re-configured to X11 …
NO idea what happened but unusable with wayland.
In addition the target of whole szenario - to get MMM-Pir working without error message is not reached because with wayland, too an error is produced …
So I will stay with X11 and try MMM-Pir-universal …
(which is kinda unreliable…)

Warm regards,
Ralf

@rkorell Addition:

to my 100% surprise the mirror now works - but: extremely slow.
it is started with “npm run start:x11” !!!
(in a Wayland configuration !?)

Now I’m confused totally.

can anybody please help me to understand, what happens here?

THANKS!

@rkorell electron saves a bunch of info , you may need to erase that to allow it to save different info
stop MagicMirror

rm -rf ~/.config/Electron

note the dot in front of config

[rkorell]

@sdetweil Thanks!

overall it doesn’t work for me :-(
system is so slow that even editing config.js took 8 seconds to load the tiny file from pi to Laptop…
So I’ve re-configured to X11 …
NO idea what happened but unusable with wayland.
In addition the target of whole szenario - to get MMM-Pir working without error message is not reached because with wayland, too an error is produced …
So I will stay with X11 and try MMM-Pir-universal …
(which is kinda unreliable…)

Warm regards,
Ralf

@rkorell note that npm start issues npm run start:x11

? can you kindly please eloborate?
Didn’t get you, sorry!

[rkorell]

@sdetweil said in My new MagicMirror will not start with Wayland?:

rm -rf ~/.config/Electron

quick question: will this command help, anyway to get “performance” fixed?
Background: Since running on Pi5 / bookworm the mirror has “problems” on reboot.
Module load is extremely slow (minutes!).
A “pm2 reload MagicMirror” after reboot leads to way faster module loadings.

Thanks,
Ralf

from package.json
these are the command types you can issue npm run …

                "start": "npm run start:x11",
                "start:dev": "npm run start -- dev",
                "start:wayland": "WAYLAND_DISPLAY=\"${WAYLAND_DISPLAY:=wayland-1}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland",
                "start:wayland:dev": "npm run start:wayland -- dev",
                "start:windows": ".\\node_modules\\.bin\\electron js\\electron.js",
                "start:windows:dev": "npm run start:windows -- dev",
                "start:x11": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",
                "start:x11:dev": "npm run start -- dev",

if you do npm start or npm run start
the command is “npm run start:x11”

which is the “same” as it was before release 2.30.0

I posted this in
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/19269/new-magicmirror-start-options-in-version-2-30-0

so at least you don’t have to edit package.json and break updates…

[sdetweil]

@rkorell I can ‘fix’ MagicMirror.sh to detect wayland/labwc and use

npm  run start:wayland

and if not

npm run start

switching so it WORKS seems like it takes some drastic changes…(erase electron config)…

I don’t know what is in the electron config folder, so can’t tell if there is a way to know you switched since last run…
