Magic Mirror doesn't work after a boot

eightbit

@sdetweil Should I delete the mm.sh in my home dir before i run your pm2 fix?

sdetweil

@eightbit no… if it all works then later yes

sdetweil

@eightbit its only called ‘fix’ cause during my install script you can add pm2 support, or not… so its a separate script if u change your mind later

eightbit

@sdetweil Shoot. No luck! When I ran your script it loaded up and started perfectly and after the reboot it is hung on a white screen. In the logs it looks like it’s really trying to do something with the chromium browser but it just hangs and hangs. When it works on a pm2 start mm.sh (or using fixuppm2.sh) the log looks the same but then there are a couple lines after “starting chromium browser now”. I’ll post the log in another post.

@eightbit I just forgot, did you remove the autostart setup u added in the services?

@sdetweil Yea I cleared out the systemd services I tried to enabled. They are disabled and stopped. I also tried an rc.local startup file to run the .sh file which never worked. I know that’s depreciated but desperate times and desperate measures lol.

sdetweil

@eightbit what device is this… you are using my install script which launches

run-start.sh

this is reserved for armv6 devices…
can u check the autostart

did you do this??? (answer should be no)

sdetweil

@eightbit also do a

free -m

see how big the swap space is and total memory

@sdetweil Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2

I did try to use systemd but it did not work so I disabled and deleted all the systemd attempts.
