Background is white?
-
Hmm, uploading not working. Trying this:
-
@martaaay what does the raspi desktop look like? the temple?
-
For whatever reason, the screen is getting the initial white fill, then not getting the blanking as MM runs.
I personally wonder what would happen if a full screen background module was used - example, https://github.com/darickc/MMM-BackgroundSlideshow
-
@bkeyport I wonder if electron thinks its a b&w display
-
@sdetweil Sorry my ignorance - is there an easy way to boot to just the raspberry pi desktop?
@BKeyport I tried adding MMM-EasyBack, and used this config with the default background image. It seems to cause it to boot sometimes into an all white screen and stay that way, and sometimes it boots into my weird white background with some items in the foreground, but no background. So odd!
Is there a log for errors somewhere?
-
@sdetweil FWIW on the B&W issue, I used MMM-EasyBack with a youtubeid, and the youtube video appeared, though only taking part of the screen with white behind the elements as before. The youtube video had color in it, IIRC.
I think I’ve sufficiently messed things up tinkering around. Haha. I’m going to reflash this sd card and try again.
-
@martaaay use my install script…
-
@sdetweil Is that intended to be run from a fresh Raspbian install?
-
@martaaay said in Background is white?:
is there an easy way to boot to just the raspberry pi desktop?
just alt-spacebar, n
to minimize MM after startup
then u can open a terminal window (ctrl-alt-t)
and pm2 stop all -
@martaaay yes, altho u can rename the MM folder to something else and install again
