      @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

            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       | + '[' -z :0 ']'
                    0|mm       | ++ uname -m

                    0|mm       | ++ grep -v '^[[:blank:]]*//' config/config.js
                    0|mm       | ++ sed -e 's/^[[:space:]]*//'

                    0|mm       | + xprop -root
                    0|mm       | xprop:  unable to open display ':0'
                    0|mm       | ++ pgrep Xorg

                    0|mm       | + '[' . == . ']'

                    0|mm       | + mac=Linux
                    0|mm       | + '[' local. '!=' false. -o armv7l == armv6l ']'
                    0|mm       | + '[' local. == true. ']'
                    0|mm       | + '[' . == . -a Linux '!=' Darwin ']'
                    0|mm       | + node serveronly
