      @nx3xo in the script that does npm start
      add

      export ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1
      

      before the npm start line

      with my install script, that is

      ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

        So one of my installs is mm.sh and the other is run-start.sh.

        The mm.sh one only shows this error in start.

        [2883:1218/201556.298300:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(590)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.portal.Settings.Read: object_path= /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop was not provided by any .service files

        I think this has been covered and is insignificant, correct?

        The run-start.sh one I’m going to reinstall.

        Not sure how I ended up with 2 different installs, pretty I used your script.

        So heres a question for ease of troubleshooting.

        What if I do a couple dedicated proxmox lxc for servers and run the raspi displays as clients? I haven’t tried this method yet.

          Made change. No dice on my original MM device 4x4 pixelsquare. Black screen plus cursor. Startup out looks clean.

            @nx3xo run-start is done when I cannot find electron or it’s armv6l

            then I just launch chromium over the mm server

              I would like to sort this self hosted mm instance. It runs perfect in the web browser. Just blank screen with cursor. Is it possible a module can prevent everything from launching if it is too large and overlaps others?
