@damith did u do the npm install in the module folder after git clone?

if u look at the startup messages, where u start mm
npm start
or pm2 logs --lines=100

you might see a message, module not found.
this is the number 1 clue you didn’t do the npm install

Hi, may i ask if it is possible to change background to transparent ?
Thanks,

[greedyvegan]

in the beginning of this post from 2021, it was recommended NOT to use this with a raspberry pi
today, in 2024, I have a raspberry pi 5, does that matter? lol

anyway, the left is on my pi 5 and the right is viewing it on a browser on my computer

is there an update on a lite version?

[sdetweil]

@hiro-nguyen sure, css

google search css transparent background

[sdetweil]

@greedyvegan you will need to enable the gpu in the system boot.txt

AND

tell MagicMirror electron to use it

export ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU=1

in the script before

npm  start

if you used my script to install MagicMirror , that is ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

[greedyvegan]

@sdetweil

like this?

I got this error
[PM2][ERROR] File ecosystem.config.js not found

[sdetweil]

@greedyvegan that pm2 error is usually caused by using sudo sometime when you shouldn’t

what happened before that? is that the first time w pm2

maybe

pm2 status
pm2 delete xxx
where xxx is the name or number on the MagicMirror line

then run my fixuppm2 script

pm2 seems fragile recently. not sure why

[greedyvegan]

@sdetweil

i accidently ran pm2 start instead of pm2 start mm
then it returned

[PM2][ERROR] File ecosystem.config.js not found

then i ran pm2 start mm
then it returned

[PM2][ERROR] Script not found: /home/thecastle/MagicMirror/mm

status

after pm2 delete 0

after pm2 save

update -
it’s currently running (it was always running, it just had a weird error)
and told me to copy/paste

sudo env PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2 startup systemd -u pi --hp /home/pi

[sdetweil]

@greedyvegan yep, that’s why you run my script. lots of things to do

[greedyvegan]

@sdetweil

thank you very much!
