Screen/Text Size
-
@sdetweil Thanks for the response. Yes I do want it full screen, my apologies, I just meant that it wasn’t displaying properly when in full screen.
I followed your instructions, and this is what I am currently getting
-
@mrdger what OS is this? on what hardware? PI? is that view on the screen attached to hardware, or over VNC?
can u do, from the commandline while MM is running
ps -ef | grep -i magicmirroryou should get a list of things…
-
@sdetweil The screen is attached to the hardware and is intended to be the screen I will be using for the project. It’s a Pi 4

Followed your instructions again. This came up. The repeated forecast doesn’t seem to change, but the two bigger texts were popping up and changing.
-
@mrdger weird…
did u get any output from the command? should not have
I assume you had a good desktop after boot… with the temples…
how did you install MM? manual or scripted?
-
@sdetweil Correct, didn’t get any output. I did it manually, maybe try reinstalling?
-
@mrdger rename the MM folder
cd ~ mv MagicMirror MagicMirror.oldthen run my install script , see
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts -
Completed the steps you outlined. Moved the directory and then ran the install script your provided. Looks like a similar problem is still popping up. The 2nd image is fullscreen screenshot with the 1st showing an example of how it changes if the size of the window is changed.
Here’s the log from the installers folder

@mrdger strange…
ok, my guess is a bad cable from pi to display
I had seen some flakiness on DVI-D display with an hdmi->DVI adapter…
a different adapter had no trouble with the same cable
