      and scroll up to see any info, or errors…
      u can also filter for just messages from a single module by putting part of the module name in the filter entryfield

      Sure, I can do that, but is there a way to do that through the console? To physically access the pi I have to climb a ladder. I’m going to do that now but it would be awesome if I don’t have to next time.

            yeah, it does nothing… is there a way to access it with the mouse?

            My Keyboard is connected and working because I can quit magic mirror with the keyboard.

                yep, like if I’m hitting ctrl + alt + delete correct?

                instead it’s ctrl shift i

                    Yeah I can’t get it to come up.

                    I’m not sure what else I can do.

                          is this the start file you are talking about?

                          pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls
                          chromium_start.sh  mmstart.sh                  package-lock.json
                          MagicMirror        node-v10.16.0-linux-armv6l
                          pi@raspberrypi:~ $ 
                          
                          

                          mmstart.sh?

                          pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo nano mmstart.sh
                          
                            GNU nano 3.2                       mmstart.sh                                 
                          
                          #!/bin/bash
                          cd ~/MagicMirror
                          node serveronly &
                          sleep 30
                          xinit /home/pi/chromium_start.sh
                          
                          npm start dev
                          

                          Is that where it goes?

                          Man doing this project makes me feel so dumb I need to learn more, any suggestions?

                                Well I ended up going to a static picture because I can’t think of what else to do.

                                  @Darkmx-6 i don’t know where mmstart.sh came from… it is not part of the base MagicMirror solution.

                                  the MagicMirror start script is ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

                                  it does not run serveronly… it assumes you are running the mirror user experience ON the same machine.

                                  i don’t know if EasyBack works on the remote client of serveronly… THAT browser would have to enable autoplay… our fix was for the electron browser running ON the same machine

                                  edit:
                                  ok, i see what you are doing… using chromium for the browser for some reason…

                                  so u have to disable the autoplay blocker there , from
                                  https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes

                                  You can decide to disable entirely the autoplay policy by setting the 
                                  Chrome flag "Autoplay Policy" to "No user gesture is required" at chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy. 
                                  This allows you to test your website as if user were strongly engaged with your site and playback autoplay would be always allowed.

                                    Ah I see! It works THANK YOU!
                                    Must be because of the pre-made image I installed MagicMirror with.

                                    Here is the link:

                                    http://emmanuelcontreras.com/how-to/how-to-create-a-magic-mirror-2-with-pi-zero-w/

                                    Here is the fix:

                                    I edited the file chromium_start.sh found here:

                                    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls
                                    chromium_start.sh  MagicMirror  mmstart.sh  node-v10.16.0-linux-armv6l  package-lock.json
                                    

                                    and added

                                    --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required
                                    

                                    Example:

                                      GNU nano 3.2                          chromium_start.sh                                                                         
                                    
                                    #!/bin/sh
                                    unclutter &
                                    xset -dpms # disable DPMS (Energy Star) features.
                                    xset s off # disable screen saver
                                    xset s noblank # don’t blank the video device
                                    matchbox-window-manager &
                                    #midori -e Fullscreen -a http://localhost:8080

                                        what is split mode? If I am I didn’t mean to, I have it directly connected to a TV that I am using as a Bulletin board.

                                          @Darkmx-6 there are two ways to run Magic Mirror

                                          all in one(all in one application) , uses electron, npm start.
                                          we’ve solved the pi 0 problem… my installer handles it

                                          split mode (two applications)
                                          start serverOnly
                                          then view with some other browser (chrome, firefox, ie, …) either locally or from another machine/phone…
