@htilburgs ok, when did you build the sd card?

can you show

@htilburgs hm. so start:wayland should have worked

htilburgs

@sdetweil
I did the update, it didn’t work afterwards.
Then I’ve tried sudo apt-get update / upgrade, still no luck
Today I renamed MagicMirror to .org and did a new install of MagicMirror, same result.

So now I’m out of options…

sdetweil

@htilburgs hmm

ok. try this

rm -rf ~/.config/Electron

note the . (dot) in front of of config

restart MagicMirror

htilburgs

@sdetweil
Same error😔

npm run start
npm run start:wayland

htilburgs

I think I take a new SD Card and do an install from scratch to see what happens.

htilburgs

@htilburgs
I took a new SD Card and installed everything from fresh.

When I start MagicMirror with “npm run start”, then everything seems to work.

pm2 start MagicMirror works and seems to start MagicMirror in Wayland

npm run start:wayland still gives an error

I was just wondering, couldn’t it have something to do with the WAYLAND_DISPLAY parameter?

 WAYLAND_DISPLAY="${WAYLAND_DISPLAY:=wayland-1

sdetweil

@htilburgs could be

when you open a terminal session and do

env

is the WAYLAND_DISPLAY variable set?

that code you referenced says use WAYLAND_DISPLAY, and if not set, set it to wayland-1

htilburgs

@sdetweil It seems it’s not set

How do I set this?

sdetweil

@htilburgs in terminal window no spaces between things…
this is like the windows set var=value (without the set prefix)

WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-x

x is a number from 0 to …

we thought wayand-1 was default

htilburgs

@sdetweil said in V2.31.0 unable to start:

WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-x

In terminal window I typed WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1
Then I did “env”, nothing changed.
npm run start:wayland still gives the same error.

sdetweil

@htilburgs said in V2.31.0 unable to start:

Then I did “env”, nothing changed.

you should have seen this in the env output

but our code says IF NOT SET, use wayland-1
which looks like an error

so if you set it to the same value it won’t improve

I’d try wayland-0

maybe the wlr_randr command will tell you what it is?

htilburgs

@sdetweil Maybe I don’t understand.
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 still gives wayland-1 in npm run start:wayland.

wlr_randr gives

pi@MagicMirror:~/MagicMirror $ wlr_randr
-bash: wlr_randr: command not found

By the way, my PIR command do work

onCommand: "WAYLAND_DISPLAY='wayland-1' wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --on --transform 270 --mode='1920x1080'",

offCommand: "WAYLAND_DISPLAY='wayland-1' wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --off",
