Application not starting when OpenGL is enabled

[bhepler]

@anthony - Just FYI: PM2 is a process manager. It’s purpose is to make sure that the Magic Mirror process is always running and to start it automatically when you Pi boots. That’s all. It won’t help nor hinder your mirror’s performance.

When your Pi starts to overheat, you’ll see a thermometer icon in the upper right corner of your mirror.

@bhepler wow never knew about the overheating symbol good to know, Everyone with a Pi should get a good heatsink and a fan fan not essential but helps loads.

@rts58 I stand corrected the latest version of MMM-System-Stats locks up after 13hours of the Pi being on, I’ve left a message on his github so hopefully it will be fixed as it’s the Pi’s only true stat reading for everything that you need to know the Pi is doing. Oh if your not using video modules you can get 16Mb more ram 🐏 by taking it from the graphics if your on a Pi 3B+ You can use the desktop

Start Menu, Preferences, Raspberry Pi configuration, Performance, then change GPU memory

or use Terminal

sudo Raspi-config 

Advance
Memory Split
Ok
Then it will ask you to reboot

@dazza120 Thanks, I’m not using video, so I’ll look into this. I’ll also look at system stats.

Hello everyone. So I installed pm2 as @bhepler said and MMM-System-Stats as @dazza120 mentioned above and I managed to enable OpenGL without a black screen but I realized that the cpu load went from 0.85 to 2.1 and after half an hour the rpi got frozen. So I and up disabled it once again and my mirror runs continuously fro yesterday afternoon without any problem of overheating, black screen or freezing. the last stats I saw today was:
CPU Temp: 32.22
System Load 0.81
Free RAM: 32%
Uptime: 13 hours
Avail Space: 24G

@dazza120 I installed MMM-SystemStats to my mirror and it helped a lot to monitor its status. Thank you for the tip. I would like to ask you if you know if it is possible to change the module size because it looks too big according to the other modules. I tried to do it but I didn’t find any css file in its folder to customize it.

@anthony hi mate sorry, haven’t found out yet, may be message the Dev, but it isn’t really an issue for me but it would be nice to make the text look better

[Anthony]

@dazza120 I don’t want to make it look better. Just to reduce the size of the module. Thank you anyway for your reply. I’ll message the Dev.

@anthony Hi, I found this post maybe it will help? Also, custom.css is for all modules is in the css directory.

@strawberry-3-141 said in MMM-forecast-io -- Localized up to the minute weather:

.MODULENAME {
  transform: scale(0.5, 0.5);
}

if you replace modulename with your actual module name, this should give you a height and with of 50% of the actual size

@rts58 That worked. Thank you very much.
