@ Sampleswow awesome edit the package.json and change the “start” to “startx” then add this line after "start":"DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:=:0} ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js", then npm start should start your MagicMirror this was the way it was before this release

@ KristjanESPERANTO said in MagicMirror is Failing to start at all : DISPLAY=“${DISPLAY:=:0}” ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js This Command STARTED my Mirror!!! Im super excited everything is the way I left it even no loading google images lol (I know i have to find and alternative now )
