          @Remco ok, some more diagnostics commands

          node -v
          npm -v
          lsb_release -a
          uname -a
          ps -ef | grep -i x11

          how did u upgrade? manual or my script?
          if my script can u send me the installers/upgrade.log

          use my userid at gmail. ( file is too big to post here)

          note that you must be running the graphical desktop for MM full mode to execute …

          server only mode without desktop is ok
          npm run server

          then u would access from some other system

            Hi,

            I have done a manual update of MM and pi when the problems started.
            I have also tried to run your installation script but the problem is still there. I have also tried to update node.js and npm to the latest versions.

            These are requested outputs:

            $ node -v
            v18.10.0

            $ npm -v
            8.19.2

            $ lsb_release -a
            No LSB modules are available.
            Distributor ID: Raspbian
            Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
            Release: 10
            Codename: buster

            $ uname -a
            Linux raspberrypi 5.15.56-v7+ #1575 SMP Fri Jul 22 20:28:11 BST 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux

            $ ps -ef | grep -i x11
            pi 27931 5155 0 22:18 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i x11

              @Remco said in Having trouble with launch- perhaps display value?:

              pi 27931 5155 0 22:18 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i x11

              ok, try this

              ps -ef  | grep Xorg 
              

              is this a server machine?, or does it have a display? where MM is shown?

                Hi,

                MM is running on a Pi with it’s own screen.
                But in the meantime I got it working again. I found this threat with had similar errors as I had when running ‘startx’.

                After I removed this driver MM started again:
                sudo mv /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf ~
                startx

                But I do still have the following errors in the error-log:

                [16183:1013/103255.149031:ERROR:viz_main_impl.cc(186)] Exiting GPU process due to errors during initialization
                [16220:1013/103256.721936:ERROR:gpu_memory_buffer_support_x11.cc(44)] dri3 extension not supported.
                [16188:1013/103256.801401:ERROR:command_buffer_proxy_impl.cc(126)] ContextResult::kTransientFailure: Failed to send GpuControl.CreateCommandBuffer.

                  @Remco for the gpu errors do

                  add

                  export ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1

                  in the script that starts mm
                  just before the npm start line
