My new MagicMirror will not start with Wayland?

@rkorell Addition:
to my 100% surprise the mirror now works - but: extremely slow.
it is started with “npm run start:x11” !!!

can anybody please help me to understand, what happens here?
THANKS!
Ralf -
@rkorell electron saves a bunch of info , you may need to erase that to allow it to save different info
stop MagicMirrorrm -rf ~/.config/Electronnote the dot in front of config
-
@sdetweil Thanks!
overall it doesn’t work for me :-(
system is so slow that even editing config.js took 8 seconds to load the tiny file from pi to Laptop…
So I’ve re-configured to X11 …
NO idea what happened but unusable with wayland.
In addition the target of whole szenario - to get MMM-Pir working without error message is not reached because with wayland, too an error is produced …
So I will stay with X11 and try MMM-Pir-universal …
(which is kinda unreliable…)Warm regards,
Ralf -
@rkorell note that npm start issues npm run start:x11

? can you kindly please eloborate?
Didn’t get you, sorry! -
@sdetweil said in My new MagicMirror will not start with Wayland?:
rm -rf ~/.config/Electron
quick question: will this command help, anyway to get “performance” fixed?
Background: Since running on Pi5 / bookworm the mirror has “problems” on reboot.
Module load is extremely slow (minutes!).
A “pm2 reload MagicMirror” after reboot leads to way faster module loadings.Thanks,

from package.json
these are the command types you can issue npm run …"start": "npm run start:x11", "start:dev": "npm run start -- dev", "start:wayland": "WAYLAND_DISPLAY=\"${WAYLAND_DISPLAY:=wayland-1}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland", "start:wayland:dev": "npm run start:wayland -- dev", "start:windows": ".\\node_modules\\.bin\\electron js\\electron.js", "start:windows:dev": "npm run start:windows -- dev", "start:x11": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js", "start:x11:dev": "npm run start -- dev",if you do npm start or npm run start
the command is “npm run start:x11”which is the “same” as it was before release 2.30.0
I posted this in
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/19269/new-magicmirror-start-options-in-version-2-30-0so at least you don’t have to edit package.json and break updates…
-
@rkorell I can ‘fix’ MagicMirror.sh to detect wayland/labwc and use
npm run start:waylandand if not
npm run startswitching so it WORKS seems like it takes some drastic changes…(erase electron config)…
I don’t know what is in the electron config folder, so can’t tell if there is a way to know you switched since last run…

R rkorell has marked this topic as solved on

@sdetweil As I wrote initially “npm run start:wayland” doesn’t work …
(despite wayland configured).
And the “stored” auto-start option npm run start:x11 DOES work - for whatever reason.VNC was really sluggish on this, performance a nightmare so - see above marked as “solution” I switched back to x11 and all is working fine.
In the meantime I’ve also managed to get MMM-Pir to work by idenitfying and correcting two errors in Bugsounet’s code …
Warm regards,
Ralf -
@rkorell great work!

@rkorell great work!
Ohhh - this from you!
Makes me proud.
Thanks!Ralf

@sdetweil said in
but npm start works!?
Not tried.
Leave it currently, as is.
Via your install script provided autostart calls npm run start:x11 - which works fine.Regards,
