ok havent worked on this in a couple weeks. well i have to re-image the card- the OS boot fails so badly that it goes to CLI prompt.
hardly had anything so starting from scratch again — but thats Not a MM issue --its a RPI issue

Still strange that this dri3 not supported seems an enigma .
–i.ll keep an eye on it when MM starts up
Maybe it is a PI3B issue - i would think that is more likely and not a MM issue
–i am going back to the PRI forum to search and / or post the question there

@kayakbabe - been a bit out of sorts lately and havent had a chance to get back to MM after a new linux install. But finally all good there

–the MM still runs with the dri3 error for now. Perhaps it wont make any difference. Just one of those glitches. I thought it was why i could not boot. but it was (of course) an error i introduced in the config.js which i couldnt find and had to back track to the default and try again. Sure it is a little frustrating - but it is also how I learn ; by making mistakes.

–Now back to MM - I do not currently have a specific module issue. I want to have mostly basic stuff - like clock, Google calendar, weather - at least to start. I dont think i will need much else, i hope

I appreciate the help
Thanks everyone

@kayakbabe -
No problem - that was on topic
I actually tried going to 32 and i believe i am back to 64 but i will need to recheck
-i get the same error on both, even with sdetweil’s recommendation above to add the --disable-gpu switch

at least whatever was hanging up MM , it is working now
and i am banging my head against modules and minor CSS to add background

It can be frustrating but it is fun to search for possible solutions and experiment and learn

@sdetweil -LOL- thought i would start simple… Jeopardy works now. going to try to relocate it , and loose that image. (Sorry, Alex)

I am sure there are lots of options that i cant locate.
The hunting for the answers before asking is part of my learning challenge.

@sdetweil i just hope to get mostly basic stuff weather, clock, google calendar , change the background from black… that kind of stuff.

@sdetweil - ok i was incorrect - i am still getting that error but with the default config (less the ‘compliments’ module) the MM still works - so maybe it is not an issue
– i tried two other modules and cant get them to work
such as MMM-JEOPARDY - I saw posts in other threads and it is exact but something isnt right.

• i will work on it some more, search threads before making a new question. I have to be sure it isnt something i just mis-optioned, typo… need to look at it tomorrow with fresh eyes

@sdetweil
that cleared the error thank you

–if you think i should switch to 32-bit Raspian i will do that as well

the Raspian desktop is slightly outside (larger than) the monitor screen, but the MM is displayed well inside the borders so if i get it all set on this monitor i will stick to this one.

i get this error right from a fresh install

Pi 3B Ver2
Rasp Pi OS 64bit (not lite per install instructions) and from raspberypi.com site directly, verified hash

I went through the manual install steps for MM.
it starts but i get this error. is it important?
Any idea what this is?
I cant seen to find anything about it on either the MM forum or the RaspPi forum.

The only reference to dri3 seems to be with display drivers? the first message after “npm run start” returned :

> magigmirror@2.20.0 start
> DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

Perhaps i need to go to 32-bit (but not lite, per install instructions) ?
