        Correct syntax would need to be:

          raspberry_pi=$(grep ^ID= /etc/os-release | cut -f2 -d=)
          if [ "$raspberry_pi." == "raspbian" ] ; then
           sleep 2
          fi
        
        

        The RPi 3B+ is a little slower to initialize on Bullseye versus Buster. Any time a device is running a slightly heavier OS and needs a little more time to finish booting up, I could see this occurring. The question is, do you solve it with a fix that impacts everyone (“sleep 2” or similar), test for particular OS/HW combo’s, or is there another process to look for that would better indicate when the system should be finished initializing?

        Right now, it looks for X and just “moves on” when it isn’t found and assumes some sort of mistake or something in the config. Great as a fail-safe, but creates a new occasional issue to be dealt with.

          @ember1205 that test is for when MM is running under docker (with no X running) but using the docker host’s xorg for viewing…

            The test I’m referring to checks to see if X is running. If not, it moves on to test for Lubuntu. If that also fails, it assumes server only and moves on.

            I do recall seeing a specific Docker test at the very beginning of the script, but that’s a fair bit earlier than where I’ve added this check (which is right before the “pgrep Xorg” line).

              @ember1205 yes… i am looking for a test that works if the system is slow…

              i added the rm of ./config folder and my pi 0 now comes up instead of the chrome desktop
              which was random before…

                      if [ $(which $b). != '.' ]; then
                           rm -rf ~/.config/$b 2>/dev/null   # add this line

                @sdetweil said in Autostarts but doesn't run, will run on restart:

                … my pi 0 now comes up instead of the chrome desktop
                which was random before…

                Not sure I’m following what this should mean?

                  @ember1205 you had another problem where chrome comes up to the white screen w the icons. that is the chrome desktop.

                  i added the delete of the config folder to the run start script to get it back to just MagicMirror

                      @ember1205 can u try this on the reboot problem

                      add this

                      xprop -root      # add this line
                      xorg=$(pgrep Xorg)
                      

                      then do the reboot test with the debugging still turned on

                        I removed the check I was running that was ensuring it would start correctly and put in the line you asked. I believe the log info you want is this:

                        0|mm       | + '[' -f ./untrack-css.sh ']'
                        0|mm       | + grep docker /proc/1/cgroup -qa

                        0|mm       | ++ pgrep X
                        0|mm       | + xorg=
                        0|mm       | ++ uname
                        0|mm       | + mac=Linux
                        0|mm       | + '[' local. '!=' false. -o armv7l == armv6l ']'
                        0|mm       | + '[' local. == true. ']'

                        Here’s the rest that goes with it “just in case”:
