      @sdetweil It looks like I spoke too soon. After a reboot, I cannot seem to get any output from MagicMirror.
      I rebooted and then called pm2 start MagicMirror from within the MagicMirror directory, and it seems to execute just fine. But … nothing happens. It doesn’t actually start the app, as far as I can tell. Even though the output seems the same:

      [PM2] Applying action restartProcessId on app [MagicMirror](ids: [ 0 ])

      Any ideas?

          @davidgagne that circle with the arrow heading column says times restarted. 148 is a problem

            @sdetweil I emailed you the output from that. I’m guessing Error: Cannot find module 'electron' is bad?

              @sdetweil It’s frustrating because I swear it was working before I rebooted.

                @sdetweil If you thought 148 restarts was bad … This is what I see now:

                    @sdetweil I followed your tutorial on adding the Jeopardy module (just to see what would happen) and it worked fine. The last step is npm start and when I did that I got this:

                    > ./run-start.sh $1

                        @sdetweil Hmmm. Okay. I tried that for the ‘alert’ module but it didn’t seem to have any impact:

                        dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror $ cd modules/
                        dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror/modules $ ls
                        default  MMM-JEOPARDY
                        dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror/modules $ cd default/
                        dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror/modules/default $ ls
                        alert  calendar  clock  compliments  defaultmodules.js  helloworld  newsfeed  updatenotification  utils.js  weather
                        dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror/modules/default $ cd alert
                        dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror/modules/default/alert $ ls package.json
                        ls: cannot access 'package.json': No such file or directory

                        Same result; just a bunch more restarts and nothing appearing. (The Pi desktop is there, though.)
