          Ok so now I had to stop the instance of magic mirror running and restart with the command you noted, which worked, but now i cant see the magic mirror on the remote session, just the blank desktop

          isnt there a way to switch between desktop and MM display, like using shift-tab?

          also can you explain what the command means and why some has to be in all caps
