        @sdetweil git clone

        It was on another monitor. I’ve just changed to a TV for the display.

        Should I reboot the operating system for the pie on the new screen?

          @reallykeene yes, when u change screens by moving cable, after boot the hardware doesn’t always get it right
          (my pi 4 cannot see the second display if not present at power on)

          I had a typo in my commands above (lowercase m in MagicMirror)

            @sdetweil Is there an easy way to do that?

            The only way I know would be to save all my work onto a hard drive and then resetting the pie from scratch. I’m pretty new to this.

              @reallykeene won’t lose anything on pi, with sd card…

              sudo shutdown reboot

              for restart, if it works, good…

              if need power off

              sudo shutdown now -h
              wait til light goes off

              power back on (however u do that… pull/re-insert power cord, use switch)

                @sdetweil The desktop rebooted to the full size of the screen correctly. But the magic mirror still looks like the original picture and it’s not stretching to the full size of the screen in width.

                    @sdetweil OK I figured it out! I did a little more reading on the raspberry pi website. I had the HDMI cord plugged into HDMI one on the actual raspberry pi and was having issues with the resolutions on the screen sizes. Once I did a full reset and plugged in the HDMI 0 I was able to adjust the screen to fit the TV
