      @broberg If you set DISPLAY=:0 in your environment before starting MM, then you don’t have to be at the console.

        @jag the LXDE still has to be running, the display=:0 is, If I’m not mistaken, if you run it remotely, right?

          @broberg Yes LXDE has to be running (preferably on boot).
          Then you you may login using ssh, and start MM manually.
          As long as you set the DISPLAY env variable correctly you can start X-apps on the display.

              Hey guys

              Many thanks for all your replies. Not sure why it wasn’t working. I had to reinstall MM and now it’s working just fine. :)
