      @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       | + arch=armv7l
            0|mm       | + false=false
            0|mm       | ++ grep -i serveronly:
            0|mm       | ++ awk -F: '{print tolower($2)}'
            0|mm       | ++ tr -d ',"'\''\r'
            0|mm       | ++ grep -v '^[[:blank:]]*//' config/config.js
            0|mm       | ++ sed -e 's/^[[:space:]]*//'
            0|mm       | + serveronly=local
            0|mm       | + serveronly=local
            0|mm       | + xprop -root
            0|mm       | xprop:  unable to open display ':0'
            0|mm       | ++ pgrep Xorg
            0|mm       | + xorg=
            0|mm       | + '[' . == . ']'
            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. ']'
            0|mm       | + '[' . == . -a Linux '!=' Darwin ']'
            0|mm       | + node serveronly
            
            

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

                  @ember1205 ok, do this

                  cd ~/MagicMirror
                  curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/test/run-start.sh >run-start.sh
                  

                  edit the MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

                  add a line before the npm start

                  export wait_for_x=1 
                  

                  (or true, or ANYTHING)
                  the value can be anything

                  edit the run-start.sh and add the -x on the 1st line again

                  do the pm2 flush
                  pm2 restart

                  just to test
                  then do the reboot test

                    export wait_for_x=1

                    That isn’t the mm.sh that my system launches from, though… Mine is ~/mm.sh

                    Does the one you’re referencing get called from one of the other scripts?

                      @ember1205 whatever script…

                        Ok… Modified the ~/mm.sh script

                        pm2 restart mm failed to start Chromium correctly - landed on the Chrome Desktop.
                        Purged the config directory and started mm without issue.

                        Restarted the mirror and everything came up clean multiple times, but there is clearly still something weird happening with Chromium in that I have to continue wiping the config directory before it will start up correctly.
