@bdream no reason to uninstall electron…

to start mm using server only and then chrome

edit ~/MagicMirror/run-start.sh

comment out

#electron js/electron.js $1

then add

# this starts the server in the background
node serveronly &
# waits 10 seconds -- you may need to increase this time
sleep 10
#you should test this from a command prompt window
chromium-browser -kiosk -start_maximized http://localhost:8080

then pm2 start MagicMirror will launch this file.

export DISPLAY=:0

that is I should know. SORRY!

Get the information that Chromium is not the standardbrowser

sdetweil

@bdream

yes, set as default

bdream

ahh, I have to make it standard ;)
it works now. That was a hard born (is this I can say in englich? :dizzy_face: )

RBB

@bdream very hard!!!.. bug in electron I THINK with glibc on buster…

i think if you went back to raspian stretch it would have worked with electron
I will test that when my pi 0 gets here

bdream

@sdetweil many, many thanks to you Sam!

To recab,
I need your script, not any Updates and Upgrades of raspbian System, and the last Chat entries?

Can I run it on Rpi1 also?

And you woumd prefer Streich instead of Buster?

bdream

@bdream excuse my typos!

yes, any pi version, plus odroid, jetson nano, ubuntu, macOS, Sierra-Catalina (all i have tested on)

And you would prefer Streich instead of Buster?

the bug is caused by a newer version of glibc (2.28), and buster has that, while stretch has 2.27
so, i think (will test myself later), with stretch, you would not need to use chrome browser
