Failed to Connect to Wayland Display

@atwist
So it shouldn’t be trying to start using wayland
And npm start on 2.34.0 uses x11

[atwist]

weird. Any suggestionon what to do?

[sdetweil]

@atwist move the script to another name
Try this instead

#!/bin/bash
npm start

Save that as mm.sh then do

chmod +x mm.sh

Then try
pm2 start MagicMirror

[atwist]

@sdetweil thanks. It shows that the process started successfully but it doesn’t appear on the screen.

[sdetweil]

@atwist you are on the pi directly, right? Not via ssh or vnc

[sdetweil]

@atwist try adding these two lines in front of the

export DISPLAY=:0
export ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=x11

npm start line

And try the
./MagicMirror.sh again.

May need to reboot before retry

[atwist]

@sdetweil yes directly on it
