      @sdetweil So that I don’t do something wrong for the third time, I’d rather ask carefully: I re-flashed the SD card, now I have to do this first:

      bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/node20_install.sh)”

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

      And there is already version 20.8 in there and no longer the defective 20.5.1?

      And then at the end turn off the two things for the screen saver and the autostart thing:
      bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/screensaveroff.sh)”

      and

      bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixuppm2.sh)”

      Have I understood everything correctly so far?

          @sdetweil I did it, at the beginning it said version 20.8 and further down it says that 20.5.1 was installed, did something go wrong here?

                    @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

                        @sdetweil That worked very well this time. Magic Mirror finally starts. Thank you very much for your script.
                        I would now like to know whether I can install my modules normally like before, or whether there are still difficulties with calendar modules (I have often read this week that calendar modules cause problems)?

                        I had these modules on it before and would install everything again, or should I leave some out because there are problems with the new MM update/version?

                        Edit: After I rebooted, Magic Mirror doesn’t start automatically, then I entered this command:

                        bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixuppm2.sh)”

                        It then starts immediately, but after restarting the Pi starts without MM.

                          @sil3ntstorm yes the pm2 script has done trouble

                          do this

                          pm2 startup
                          

                          it will output a command, copy paste that

                            Did I do it right? If so, it will appear as a message

                              @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

                                Wooooooooooooow it works, thank you very much

                                This worked after I typed this:

                                sudo env PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2 startup systemd -u pi --hp /home/pi

                                then that:

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