MM not filling 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 offpower 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.
-
@reallykeene try the updated commands above
-
@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

@reallykeene cool!!..
