MM won't start after upgrading to 2.29.0

@JohnGalt its not MagicMirror its pm2 talking to the display manager

you could use raspi-config to set the display manager back to x11

without doing anything else

@sdetweil – Humm, I see what you mean. unfortunately this isn’t running on an actual Raspberry Pi so I don’t have that utility available to me.

It’s a VM running Ubuntu 23.10. If you can point me in the right direction, I’d be willing to give it a shot.

@JohnGalt ok, dont know how to fix that

[JohnGalt]

@sdetweil – OK, thanks for the effort!

[JohnGalt]

@sdetweil – I was able to search out a fix.

For the benefit of anyone else running Wayland and wanting or needing to switch back to x11, see: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-use-x-instead-of-wayland-on-ubuntu-22-04 where you are asked to edit one line in a file, then reboot.

sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

I will mark this as solved now.
