      I know this has been fixed (at least I think it has) I just can’t find what the fix is. My SD got corrupted so I’m re-installing. Clean install of PiOS on a Pi4b. Used @sdetweil script to install.

      Starting with npm run start:wayland seems to work but when I reboot and it tries to start it doesn’t work.

      What do I need to change?

        @gonzonia no. I use ssh all the time, never real keyboard

        The start:Wayland says

        If WAYLAND_DISPLAY is set, use it, else set it to wayland-1
        But
        Maybe it needs to be wayland-0

        So add
        export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0
        Before the npm run start:Wayland line

        And try that

          @gonzonia MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

          But the latest should handle that

          Where you do
          npm run
          Now

          Do env
          And look for WAYLAND_DISPLAY

          What is its value?

              @sdetweil said in Wayland question:

              MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

              I have a theory…I did the install via ssh and not directly on the pi. Maybe that broke it?

                  @sdetweil I think that worked. I was able to start it with pm2.

                        Hi @sdetweil
                        I have tested your updated script and it works flawlessly. Exporting the needed WAYLAND environment variable was exactly what I was looking for.

                        Since I install MagicMirror via an Ansible playbook, the required environment variables are not set in the used .pm2/dump.pm2 file - my previous approach was to restore a prepared dump.pm2 file, but with your approach it is much more convenient :)
