Trouble accessing Raspbian desktop after fresh install
-
Hi all,
I recently did a fresh install / setup for my mirror (with the latest version of MagicMirror) and almost everything is working perfectly. Before the install, I used to be able to access the top menu bar by pressing ALT, and then minimizing or closing the window to take me back to the Raspbian desktop. Now, when I minimize or close the window it takes me to a black screen with no UI and the only thing I can do is right click to get a few menu options like open terminal, setup, and exit openbox. If I exit, the screen remains black but no longer displays any options on right click. I have tried every key on the keyboard and absolutely nothing happens. The same occurs if I run:
pm2 stop mmI’m not sure what is going on here, but I have no way to access my Raspbian desktop unless I disable the MagicMirror autostart - which will allow me to access the Desktop on boot.
I haven’t been able to find any relevant documentation, other than an old thread which describes the way I used to access the desktop before installing the newest version.

Thanks

@byte_me and I might suggest using the automated install script on that same page.
Delete or rename the MagicMirror folder before running the install script.
