<p dir="auto">I just did a fresh install of MM under Bookwork (full version).<br />
If system launches to GUI I did not find any way of autostart MM in kiosk-mode browser.</p>
<p dir="auto">MM-service is starting, but I don’t get a local MM-GUI running.</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=363992#p2217593" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">Trying this way</a> had no success.</p>
<p dir="auto">No change if GUI is set to Wayland or X11.</p>
<p dir="auto">I remember an older version of MM which was just startable via PM2, npm start or service file.</p>
<p dir="auto">If I setup boot to CLI instead of GUI, MM also does not start because of an error that the GUI is needed.</p>
<p dir="auto">TL;DR: How can I autostart MM on a local display on a debian bookworm?</p>
<p dir="auto">Any advices are highly appreciated!</p>

<p dir="auto">my last two replys are not published yet.<br />
Anyway - I read about a smiliar problem and tried the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>backup MM folder</li>
<li>use your install-script</li>
<li>removed module and config-content from backup to new folder</li>

<p dir="auto">MM starts up as intended.<br />
No idea, what was the issue exactly, but after your installation-script-usage it works as a charm.</p>

<p dir="auto">also, I have backup/restore scripts that will do that AND allow you to keep different versions, AND save on github<br />
NOT on local machine where it might be lost<br />
only saves the config, custom.css and a LIST of the modules (where from)<br />
on restore, reinstalls all the modules (in case node.js changed during the time between backup and restore)</p>

<p dir="auto">Perhaps I should have named the title “MM not showing” instead of “MM not starting”.</p>

<p dir="auto">U’re absolutely right. Just removed the handy PIR-script and installed PIR-Sensor-Lite and forgot the “”. My bad.</p>
<p dir="auto">But: Beaviour is like before. I can start the process and access the MM via Browser but it does not start on the local display.</p>
<p dir="auto">What works is:</p>
<p dir="auto">Browse the MM-IP from whitelistet IP. That’s nice but I’d like to have the MM just showing via autostart <strong>on the display which is attached to the PI</strong>:(</p>
