pm2 Autostart invert issue

[Ethyx]

Hello,
This is my first mm project. I used pm2 to autostart my magicmirror and everything is going fine. but the mirror i made can only be put up when the screen is inverted. so i added that to my mm.sh file. Once it boots up, the screen becomes regualr and i have to vnc to it and do ^Q in order to exit the mm. it opens up a short while after and thats when its inverted.

@Ethyx are u sure u don’t have two MM’s starting at boot?
see
pm2 status

[Ethyx]

Yeah I don’t have 2 mm’s starting up at boot.

[Ethyx]

here’s my mm.sh file:

cd./ MagicMirror
DISPLAY=:0 npm start
DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate inverted

[sdetweil]

@Ethyx right u start mm before u change rotation, swap the last two lines

npm start doesn’t return for the next line until mm shuts down

[Ethyx]

I did that already but the issue still persists.

cd./ MagicMirror
DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate inverted
DISPLAY=:0 npm start

[sdetweil]

@Ethyx what happens when u execute mm.sh manually. not using pm2?

does xrandr return immediately

[Ethyx]

@sdetweil yes, it does

[sdetweil]

@Ethyx with the screen flipped?

[sdetweil]

@Ethyx I think u can put the screen flip in /boot/config.txt

not the xrandr command tho

[Ethyx]

how do you do that tho?

[sdetweil]

@Ethyx Google is your friend

@sdetweil so true

[Ethyx]

@sdetweil the issue still persists

[sdetweil]

@Ethyx u set the rotation in /boot/config.txt and rebooted and rotation was changed, yes?
the remove xrandr from mm.sh

[Ethyx]

@sdetweil ok on it

[Ethyx]

@sdetweil this time even when I give ^q, the screen is not inverted as opposed to last time.

[sdetweil]

@Ethyx so the /boot/config.txt didn’t work. read more

[Ethyx]

@sdetweil yep

[sdetweil]

@Ethyx you added
display_rotate=2

to config.txt, right, and saved it
