Application not starting when OpenGL is enabled

[richland007]

@klinge I think the appilcationstarts but on server mode only at least thats what it was doing on my case…go on a different computers webbrowser and type your mirrors RaspberryPi IP address and :8080 as the port number http://raspberrypiIP:8080 and see what you get.

I did not find a solution to it i just took OpenGL out of the equation and it works fine

Try this
npm start — —disable-gpu
— is - -(dash twice.) I’m not sure disable or disabled. Try both.

Thank you for your advice. I will try it on Monday

I tried both. …disable-gpu unfortunately does not not bring any improvement. So I took OpenGL out of the equation and it works.

I have the same problem. When OpenGL is enabled the application freezes at launching and I must unplug my pi from power and plug it back. I even tried to update electron to a newer version but I got another error there so I end up disabling OpenGL again.

Just use serveronly (node serveronly) instead npm start.

@sean Thank you for your fast reply. I’ll give it a try as soon as I get home and see how it goes.

Are you using pm2? I was having same issue, and was able to resolve by following pm2 setup process.

OpenGL causes nothing but problems on the Pi I had to go back to legacy, full GL caused locked up the Pi causing black screen from the start of the MM, Fake GL caused MMM-voice not to work, so had to go back to legacy and all problems above gone

@rts58 No I am using npm to start the mirror. Also I am completely noob about coding and I am trying through googling and the forum for answers. So if I install pm2 will work when OpenGL is enabled?
