      @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.

            @sdetweil Is that intended to be run from a fresh Raspbian install?

              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

                  @sdetweil Ah ok, so would you prefer I install fresh Raspian instead of this: http://unofficialpi.org/Distros/MagicMirrorOS/ ?

                  (hehe, any chance somebody can bump my account reputation so i can post faster than 120s :) )

                      @sdetweil I’ll go ahead with a fresh latest stable Raspian and use your script. Will take me a bit. Thanks for the help so far!

                        I verified that the raspberry pi desktop boots up and looks fine
