      @atwist yes, that is the file, should have started in default mode

      there is an updated version

      can you replace all the lines of text there with this

      #!/bin/bash
      cd ~/MagicMirror
      
      if [ $(ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -i -e xway -e labwc | wc -l) -ne 0 ]; then 
         # if WAYLAND_DISPLAYis set, use it, else set to -0
         export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=${WAYLAND_DISPLAY:=wayland-0}
         npm run start:wayland
      else
         DISPLAY=:0 npm start
      fi

            Yes, that starts everything and gets me running like normal. Thanks!

            So how do I get it to run on reboot moving forward?

              you may have to npm start >somefile.txt
              then once up, ctrl-q,
              and edit the somefile.txt
