further errors

@British_Kiwi I think that error is due to the GPU being disabled by default

If the os has it enable in boot/config.txt
Then you can try

export ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU=1
Then
npm start

If that works you can update the script used by pm2

@sdetweil
I tried to find the config file to see and it was in boot/firmware/config.txt but couldn’t see any reference to GPU. however, I ran what you suggested and got the following:

admin@raspberrypihome:~ $ export ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU=1
admin@raspberrypihome:~ $ npm start
npm error code ENOENT
npm error syscall open
npm error path /home/admin/package.json
npm error errno -2
npm error enoent Could not read package.json: Error: ENOENT: no such file or director
admin/package.json'
npm error enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm error enoent
npm error A complete log of this run can be found in: /home/admin/.npm/_logs/2025-08-
Z-debug-0.log

Hope this makes sense.

I’m pre-empting you asking about that log, here is the last one:

But at least my screen is populating fine :)

@British_Kiwi you have to be in the MagicMirror folder before npm start, right?

British_Kiwi

@sdetweil err yeah I forgot about that! Tried it and comes up with a lot of these:

[22794:0803/092318.972480:ERROR:ui/gfx/linux/gbm_wrapper.cc:79] Failed to get fd for plane.: No such file or directory (2)
[22794:0803/092318.973024:ERROR:ui/gfx/linux/gbm_wrapper.cc:261] Failed to export buffer to dma_buf: No such file or directory (2)

so then ran

npm run start:wayland

and I get:

[22972:0803/092452.875681:ERROR:ui/ozone/platform/wayland/host/wayland_connection.cc:191] Failed to connect to Wayland display: No such file or directory (2)

/home/admin/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron exited with signal SIGSEGV

I then did:

pm2 stop 0
pm2 start 0  //I let it fully load
pm2 stop 0
pm2 logs --err

and I got the following:

0|MagicMir | [2025-08-03 09:26:50.192] [WARN]  You're using a full whitelist configuration to allow for all IPs
0|MagicMir | /home/admin/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron exited with signal SIGINT

Is this just okay to leave as is? If I hadn’t been checking for other errors, I wouldn’t have known this was popping up as my screen is displaying as expected.

@British_Kiwi its running, dont worry about the warnings
