      @Wippo Hey! I’m having a similar error message to you. What did you do to solve it?

        @longod Hi, you have to start the graphic desktop before execution of “npm start” (or similar) from a console. My error was to stop system start at console level.

          @wippo Hi - can you be more detailed when you say “you have to start the graphic desktop before execution”? I am pretty new to this and have no idea what you mean. I have the exact same errors on the same set up you have. Thank you.

            Hi,
            after powering on the Raspi and waiting a while, you have either a “console” (white letters on a black screen) or graphic desktop (colors and symbols like “Windows”). What you need for the Magic Mirror is the desktop. You can change the boot behavior using “sudo raspi-config”.

              Thank you. I actually did a new complete install from scratch and got MM to work!
