@sil3ntstorm can u do this on a command prompt

n

and

nvm

do either respond?

@sil3ntstorm said in Magic mirror does not start automatically when booting:

@sdetweil No, I re-flashed the SD card and could now reinstall the Magic Mirror software. Should I access my Pi and run this?

bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)”

Or do I have to do something else beforehand so that the Magic Mirror software is installed correctly?

yes, just run that. it has all the latest fixes and has been tested on bookwork, bullseye and buster

@sil3ntstorm need all of the command everything that it outputs, you didn’t copy about 30 characters

then

pm2 start ~/MagicMirror/installers/pm2_MagicMirror.json
pm2 save

@MZ-BER for MMM-NewsApi, the upgrade should have fixed that for you. (it’s node-fetch)

but, in addition, he has a module upgrade that fixes it natively without the extra npm install…

@jimb open a terminal window, ctrl-alt-t,on the desktop

type

ip addr

press enter

you should get both the ipv4 and ipv6 addresses of the pi

then type

hostname

enter

should give you the pi hostname on the network, you should be able to use this in the ssh command

ssh  {username}@{hostname}

{x} means substitute the value of the thing x for the whole string

@jimb ok the address was probably raspberrypi.local

you need to disable ipv6 on the pi, in the network settings of the pi config under the desktop menu
no reason to have ipv6 in a home environment

@Kelemvor in the same place in config.js as address:

add this line

electronOptions:{ x:nnn, width:mmm},

where nnn is the width of the laptop display in pixels and mmm is the width of the other display

there are other options too top and left

the system doesn’t see them as separate displays just all one big space.

@mumblebaj and if multiple instances same problem

@eightbit yes… why it didn’t install, I have no clue…
but it also showed the chromium problem which I hadn’t seen before…

to restore the original package.json (with the correct start line) do

cd ~/MagicMirror
git checkout package.json

glad we could fix it !

@eightbit i couldn’t approve the message, system though it was spam

those are noise we can’t hide…

try npm start again
