    I have no idea how I did this. From MM, I press ctrl-q, the screen goes black, and then pm2 dutifully restarts MM. Using Alt File/Quit also just gives a black screen.

    Any insights as to how to restore my system screen greatly appreciated.

      @Cliff365 ctrl-m will minimize the MM screen

      also

      alt-spacebar-n

      (both same as windows)

      then ctrl-alt-t to open terminal window
      the pm2 stop all

      once its stopped, then use the manual commandline to test

      cd ~/MagicMirror
      npm start 
      

      ctrl-Q will work here as pm2 is not in control

      then u can see the startup messages
