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

@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
