<![CDATA[Exiting GPU process due to errors during initialization]]>Hi all! I have installed a fresh copy of MagicMirror. It runs with the default config for testing purposes. However every other minute, the app restarts and that is what I see in the logs.

Has anybody else had the same issue?

and no one is willing to give an answer about this problem.

no one KNOWS what the answer IS…

you can try to turn off use of the gpu

by adding --disable_gpu
like this in package.json
on the start clause

 "start": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron --disable-gpu js/electron.js",

Why do you think this problem is solved ?
Yes, it is not the cause of reset, but it is still a open question
and no one is willing to give an answer about this problem.
