    • RE: upgrade to 2.4.1problems and solutions

      Yes it is confirmed that it is Open GL fault if you follow Raspberry Pi configuration changes here: Configuring the Raspberry Pi the real driver does not work at all the display just stays black …
      and with the fake driver option magic mirror will run on server mode only .

      If you take out the Open GL driver the mirror will run as it is supposed to but you will see a spike in cpu usage from around 20% with the fake kms driver to over 75% with the regular Rpi driver.

      How do we solve this and has anyone else had this issue other than me and @lavolp3 ??

      Thank you
      Denis

      If i do a npm rebuild or npm install under MagicMirror in the initial run meaning if you npm start it says something like;
      MESA Loader failed to start lgr
      … or something to that nature 2 times than it loads just fine and it does not happen the second time that you restart the MM
      i think it has to do with the settings on the Open GL when you tweak the Rpi settings

      @sean we hit a bump i think i am getting this when i try to run npm install after the git pull
      inside the MMM-DropboxWallpaper

      Obviously an error of some sort but i dont know whether it has to do with syntax or something else such as versions miss match who are always a pin in the neck i am on the latest MM version 2.4.1 which has electron 2.0

      @sean Thnak you will try it this evening as well
      I did use your advise on the free photo editor and already saved my pics the right way and uploaded to dropbox so when i go home it will be easy to load the git clone the new version and try it out
      thanks again in advance

      @bhepler Thats how i start it every time but it does not display on my Rpi… only if i log on to it from a remote computers web browser or its own web browser i am able to see the content.
      So basically it is running on Server Mode Only not both server and client / user

    • upgrade to 2.4.1problems and solutions

      Ok so i did an upgrade to version 2.4.1 (with the Raspi Config changes as well) and all my hardware modules stopped working so i had to do a “npm install” on all of them (MMM-DHT-Sensor, MMM-Swipe, MMM-PIR-Sensor) but it only worked after doing a “rm -rf node_modules” inside each respective module and than “npm rebuild” and/or “npm install” … anyhow i got them to work finally with one draw back my MM is running flawless but in server mode only.

      I can not get it to display on its own display connected straight with hdmi and its own keyboard and mouse…but if i log on through a web browser http://magicmirror:8080 its there working just fine.

      What is the command i got to type to get both client and server running on the same Rpi?/
      Thank you
      Denis
