i think it has to do with the settings on the Open GL when you tweak the Rpi settings

A lot of people recently had issues with OpenGL.
Do you only get a black sceen? Turn OpenGL off then. You don’t need it necessarily. For me it worked again afterwards. Still thinking about how to be able to activate OpenGL.

And: If you need help, it is better to get into more detail first hand.

You need to disable one module at a time and find out the source module for this error.
If you’ve identified it, go to the github page and send an issue.

I also had an error of this type some time ago. Trying to remember what I did to get rid of this…

I’d recommend trying to do it again using the description by MichMich
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Auto-Starting-MagicMirror

It is crystal clear from what I see, also describes what to do.

"the doc for ‘pm2 startup’ doesn’t help me…
‘will give you the command u need to execute’

execute when, how? if unattended, who is ‘you’?"

No offense, but btoh the doc and your terminal will show you exactly what to do. Copy a line of text the terminal throws out and execute it again.

That’s the reason I’d suggest to do it again with a bit more patience.

@postremalone There is an OS to be started first and that takes most of the time. You possibly can optimise that, just google something like “booting raspbian faster”.
Then, if you use pm2 as the manager, from my experience it takes some time until it loads MM. Maybe there is some other faster way, e.g. starting electron directly after the booting process via rc.local

So, as far as I can see, we don’t have any proper FIFA World Cup module yet, do we? And it starts TOMORROW!
I would have loved to see a solution showing some kind of iframe with the overview over the complete screen. Or at least show the playing plan in the center frame.

But I can’t program one. It’s a pity…

Thanks!
I’ve always used SSH, but for that case I’ll connect a keyboard.
Thinking about working on the mirror alltogether.
If someone knows a shortcut to open the terminal in the front I’d also appreciate it!

Re: Restarting MM² when config.js file changes

Currently I am trying a lot of things with the modules on my MagicMirror. Every time I change something in the config.js or in the custom.css I do a

pm2 restart mm

Unfortunately on a Pi3 this takes some time. I would say about half a minute until everything is reloaded again.
Isn’t there a faster way to do this. I mean, this is running in electron, isn’t there a way to only “refresh” the page in electron, or reloading modules, or is all this not sufficient?

Would interest me as well.
Also, your mirror seems very cheap! (and that in SWITZERLAND :-))
