pm2 and MagicMirror stopped

N6NG

I don’t think I did anything to cause it but all of a sudden when I do pm2 start MagicMirror it says that pm2 has started MagicMirror but that is as far as it gets. The panel says status is online and memory using 2.6mb but the mirror never starts. I’ve rebooted, I’ve shutdown and started from scratch and nothing seems to help… I tried to do a search on not starting but must not have asked the right question.
Anyone ever have this problem?

@sdetweil also, do

pm2 stop all

then

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

N6NG

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm stop all

@N6NG pm2 stop all

N6NG

That is what I got when i did a pm2 stop all.

sdetweil

@N6NG no, you pasted that you did npm stop all, which is not valid

pm2
is not the same as
npm

N6NG

/MagicMirror $ npm start

magicmirror@2.20.0 start
DISPLAY=“${DISPLAY:=:0}” ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

/tmp/start-adaafac7.sh: 1: /tmp/start-adaafac7.sh: ./node_modules/.bin/electron: not found
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $

@N6NG fun

do

cd ~/MagicMirror
grep \"electron\": package.json

it will display line like

	"electron": "^19.0.6"

then do

npm install electron@19.0.6

whatever the number is

then test with npm start again

@sdetweil When I did the grep “electron”:package.json it just sat and looked back at me for 5 minutes. So I canceled it and just did the npm install electron@19.0.0 and it installed just fine. Then I did npm start and it started the MagigMirror properly. So I’m guessing Iost the electron somehow. but I stopped MagicMirror and started it again with pm2 start MagicMirror and it worked fine…
Thank you Sam… I thought I had you there for a moment… I should have known better…
Dennis :)
I see the \ mark got dropped from my message after the word electron but it was there when I typed it .
