all should be good now

I see a diff on my mm.sh

if wayland_display is not set, then I set it to
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0
but your scripts use wayland-1

SO, lets try this

edit mm.sh again
change this line

  if [ $(ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -i -e xway -e labwc | wc -l) -ne 1 ]; then 

back to

  if [ $(ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -i -e xway -e labwc | wc -l) -ne 0 ]; then 

and change this line

export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=${WAYLAND_DISPLAY:=wayland-0}

to

export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=${WAYLAND_DISPLAY:=wayland-1}

and save mm.sh

then

pm2 stop all
pm2 start MagicMirror

name, address, zipcode, apikeys, passwords…

so im actually wayland instead of x11?

ok, open a new terminal window
and do

env

to dump out the environment variables…
check to make sure none expose any info you don’t want shown here and paste the cleaned list

i cant turn on mm using the terminal on the pi directly.
i tried npm run start:x11 and it will just close off with a /home/hsa/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron exited with signal SIGSEGV

i can now only turn on my mm using pm2 on my ssh terminal…

btw i have a cron job, not sure if this is causing the issue

crontab -e

weird it thinks wayland, but won’t run that way

edit sorry obviously stupid. just pm2 start and we are GOLD :D

thanks again!

nano  installers/mm.sh

change line

  if [ $(ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -i -e xway -e labwc | wc -l) -ne 0 ]; then 

to

  if [ $(ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -i -e xway -e labwc | wc -l) -ne 1 ]; then 

ctrl-o,
enter
ctrl-x

then
