Failed to Connect to Wayland Display

@atwist how are you starting MagicMirror?

pm2? How did you install MagicMirror

If my script, then look at
~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

@atwist
You could try this as start script:

#!/bin/bash
cd ~/MagicMirror

export DISPLAY=:0
export ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=x11

npm start

The --ozone-platform-hint=x11 flag overrides the automatic detection and forces Electron into X11 mode. Maybe……

[atwist]

I don’t remember how i installed it but I don’t have MagicMirro.sh so i must not have used your script.

[atwist]

@chrisfr1976 Thanks for the reply. Sorry but how would i do that?

[sdetweil]

@atwist script name error, I made a shortcut for mm and didn’t catch it expanding there

[atwist]

@sdetweil ahh okay. I do have that file. What am I looking for in it though.?

[sdetweil]

@atwist can you run this from the command line , and show the results

ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -i -e xway -e labwc

[atwist]

nothing is returned

[sdetweil]

@atwist ok, weird, that is the command set I use on mm.sh to determine if Wayland is running or not

Does your mm.sh have those commands listed?

[atwist]

@sdetweil

Yes it does:

if [ $(ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -i -e xway -e labwc | wc 
   # if WAYLAND_DISPLAYis set, use it, else set to -0
   export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=${WAYLAND_DISPLAY:=wayland-0}
   npm run start:wayland
else
   DISPLAY=:0 npm start
