New installation but even default is displayed

Hi,
I did what you asked:

pm2 start MagicMirror
[PM2] Applying action restartProcessId on app [MagicMirror](ids: [ 0 ])
[PM2] [MagicMirror](0) ✓
[PM2] Process successfully started

I wonder why “watching” is disabled.

@kupperma and did that bring up MagicMirror?

if so, you can delete the mm definition

pm2  delete mm
pm2 save

watching
the system maybe doesn’t that support… in my json file I request it

[kupperma]

I deleted mm

But no, MagicMirror does not appear.
pm2 status looks like that now:

~/MagicMirror $ pm2 status
┌─────┬────────────────┬─────────────┬─────────┬─────────┬──────────┬────────┬──────┬───────────┬──────────┬──────────┬──────────┬──────────┐

@kupperma where are you doing the pm2 start?

on the MM system screen in a terminal window
over ssh
over vnc
???

lets try this, without pm2 involved

pm2 stop all
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start 

[kupperma]

Here is the output:

npm start

@kupperma cool… thats good… tell me about the physical system hookup
where is the physical display?

[kupperma]

Sorry forgot to answer:
I am on the raspberrypi over ssh.

The Display is connected directly via the HDMI Port of the pi . All equipment is right at arm distance, because I’m setting it up first before staching it behind the actual mirror.
But I am on the pi via ssh so that later I can do updates and probably adding new modules .

[sdetweil]

@kupperma which kind of pi? if Pi 4/5 is the port on the left (closest to power) hdmi port?

[kupperma]

This is an pi 3 Model B V1.2
the HDMI is about 2 Centimeters right to the MicroUSB Power input.

I updated to raspianOS bookworm first.

@kupperma weird…

do you have keyboard to pi system desktop?

if so, ctrl-alt-t to open a terminal window and do

echo $DISPLAY
