@sdetweil ok so I will install like everyone else i.e. server and browser on the same machine. Thanks for sorting my head on that.

Now with regards to the install script I do not need to follow this link (https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Auto-Starting-MagicMirror) to autostart magicmirror? as you said thats all taken care in the install script? Am i correct? or?

sdetweil

@bachoo786 no… u have pm2 which does it all… (oops, the default run-start.sh script ONLY starts in both mode, YOU have to change it to do serveronly like below)

u have already installed both… again there is only ONE install process, but two ways to run

today

issue the following commands (either set)
run both

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

or
run serveronly

cd ~/MagicMirror
node serveronly

@sdetweil hi quick question… so i connected my raspberry pi 4 4gb to hdmi o but there is no display ? do i need to do some settings? my raspberry pi doesnt display anything? is that normal for raspberry pi 4?

sdetweil

@bachoo786 i don’t know what you need to do to enable the display after booting into text mode…

maybe run raspiconfig. and select boot to desktop?

@sdetweil I had to add the following in my config.txt and it works now.

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=81

do you mind sharing your /boot/config.txt please?

Also after doing these settings the raspberry pi doesnt connect to wifi.

Its a disaster this rpi 4 tbh
