        Ok… Modified the ~/mm.sh script

        pm2 restart mm failed to start Chromium correctly - landed on the Chrome Desktop.
        Purged the config directory and started mm without issue.

        Restarted the mirror and everything came up clean multiple times, but there is clearly still something weird happening with Chromium in that I have to continue wiping the config directory before it will start up correctly.

            Whatever it’s doing, it isn’t doing it correctly. “pm2 restart mm” lands me on the Chrome Desktop every time. I have to wipe the config folder by hand.

                  @sdetweil said in Autostarts but doesn't run, will run on restart:

                  cd ~
                  rm -rf .config/chromium
                  rm -rf .config/electron
                  

                  This was what you had mentioned earlier in the thread and worked, and it’s what I built my config wipe based on.

                      Seems to be working reliably. Even why I simply do a “shutdown now” without any of my shutdown process items, it starts up correctly.
