@1a2a3a yeh, weird tho

@1a2a3a thanks…

@sdetweil dont know man, gets even weirder.
i cant turn on mm using the terminal on the pi directly.
i tried npm run start:x11 and it will just close off with a /home/hsa/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron exited with signal SIGSEGVi can now only turn on my mm using pm2 on my ssh terminal…
btw i have a cron job, not sure if this is causing the issue
crontab -e 38 00 * * * /home/HSA/display_on.sh 37 00 * * * /home/HSA/display_off.shdisplay_off.sh #!/bin/bash export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1 export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 /usr/bin/wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-2 --offdisplay_on.sh #!/bin/bash export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1 export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 /usr/bin/wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-2 --on --transform 90 -
@1a2a3a yeh… weird indeed… those scripts are wayland based…
ok, open a new terminal window
and doenvto dump out the environment variables…
check to make sure none expose any info you don’t want shown here and paste the cleaned list -
@sdetweil uhm which are the info that are sensitive?
so im actually wayland instead of x11?
-
@1a2a3a sensitive
name, address, zipcode, apikeys, passwords…
-
@sdetweil this safe?

@1a2a3a yeh, fine, but no wayland info there
I see a diff on my mm.sh
if wayland_display is not set, then I set it to
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0
but your scripts use wayland-1SO, lets try this
edit mm.sh again
change this lineif [ $(ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -i -e xway -e labwc | wc -l) -ne 1 ]; thenback to
if [ $(ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -i -e xway -e labwc | wc -l) -ne 0 ]; thenand change this line
export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=${WAYLAND_DISPLAY:=wayland-0}to
export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=${WAYLAND_DISPLAY:=wayland-1}and save mm.sh
then
pm2 stop all pm2 start MagicMirror -
@sdetweil it worked! is that your expectation?
-
@1a2a3a yes…
all should be good now
-
@sdetweil many thanks for your help once again sam!
