MagicMirror does not start in full screen

drx1984

@sdetweil yes, the resolution is as follows under system settings:
The monitor is a 24 inch/full HD and is set to portrait format.
then the values should be correct 1920x1080 right?

sdetweil

@drx1984 wider than taller (1920x1080) (w,h) is landscape mode

taller than wider (1080x1920) (w,h) is portrait mode

are you trying to do both at the same time?

landscape on physical screen and portrait over connection?

can’t do that, physical screen wins

@sdetweil
Good morning,
So even if I set physical landscape format and restart the system, the MagicMirror doesn’t appear in full screen >> look at the photo I took on my cell phone without Anydesk access.

And I uploaded a video clip to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjiYQ21SoKI

And I entered the entry with: electronOptions:{width:xxxx, height:yyyy}:

Where else can the problem be?
Thanks for your help.

sdetweil

@drx1984 in the electronOptions add at the end

,fullScreen:true

note the leading comma, as this will be after the height:1080

drx1984

@sdetweil Is that what you mean>> electronOptions:{width:1920, height:1080, fullScreen:true}, ?

unfortunately nothing came of it

sdetweil

@drx1984 yes…

what OS is this

show results of

lsb_release -a
uname -a

also, stop MagicMirror and then delete the .config for Electron as before

then restart MagicMirror

@sdetweil Unfortunately I have to leave now sry, I’ll get back to you tomorrow.
There is an Ubuntu 22.04.4 installed on an IntelNuc.

I have another YouTube video >you can see how it is briefly in full screen at the start and then the full screen goes away again. Watch the video clip until the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fRf2pJuET8

thanks

sdetweil

@drx1984 ok, how are u launching mm?

show results of

pm2 status

drx1984

@sdetweil
Good morning, MagicMirror actually starts when I restart, but I can also start MagicMirror in the terminal with pm2 start.

If I start the MagicMirror myself via the terminal, everything is displayed in full screen, but not when I reboot.

I installed MagicMirror with this script: bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)”

Everything works, except the full screen doesn’t work when IntelNuc is restarted.

sdetweil

@drx1984 thats my install script

so, lets create the pm2 entry

pm2 stop all
pm2 delete 0
pm2 save -f
# run script from my list to setup pm2
bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixuppm2.sh)"
