Hi Team, may somebody has a hint for me. I’ve just installed with Sam’s script a complete fresh instance of MagicMirror. Installation went without any error. Starting up the mirror gave an error - the startup is called with x11! - for whatever reason. So I changed with raspi-config wayland to X11 (which I do not want) - mirror starts, all is OK. The connected HDMI TV is really dark (!) (Webrowser is correctly white on black, shiny) AND: after several minutes screen turns OFF. (BASE config file, only adapted whitelist and localization, standard template modules displayed) Second issue - with X11 Windows manager enabled I’m not able to connect to the mirror via VNC which I really like and am used to do because it is much faster that the browser and the mouse pointer doesn’t disappear. Any hints for me? Thanks a lot! Regards, Ralf

@ rkorell What i figured out as well is: VNC viewer in this combination cannot work… So the right way to handle this is: DISable VNC service in raspi-config (this is the wayland VNC) and ENable the X11 Real VNC server manually with sudo systemctl enable --now vncserver-x11-serviced Reboot Pi and VNC works again. So I now stick with the dark display … Thanks & warm regards, Ralf

@ sdetweil :-) OK good move… But the startup-command is generated by your install-script, so this is the result of the “auto-start”… In the meantime I’ve figured out that may X11 is - in priciple - may the better choice for me because I might remember that MMM-Pir ( :-) ) had issues with wayland in context of screen-off …
