      I am having this problem too. This is the 4th time I’ve installed MM on a RPI 3 and I don’t know what’s changed recently, but it’s not loading at boot. I followed the AutoStart wiki to the T but it won’t autostart.

      @MichMich @KirAsh4 @cowboysdude @ianperrin @yawns @Jopyth @morozgrafix - can any of you guys weigh in on this? This is kind of a big issue that it seems many folks are having.

        I have the same issue, i did put java scrip on startup, i did look on the forum and #sebzx10r, suggest the same solution.

        https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1094/pm2-mm2-not-starting-on-start-up/15

        In Raspian click Menu,Preferences,Main Menu Editor
        Click Preferences and check Default applications for LXSession
        Click OK and close main menu editor
        Now click Menu and Under Preferences click on Default applications for LXSession
        LXSession configuration opens
        Click Autostart
        Under Manual autostarted applications paste in your java command line
        click add
        close the LXSession configuration application and reboot your pi
        your java app should run after reboot
        

        Hope this help.
        Cheers,

            I have the script working, but the only way to start mm on boot, was set

            pm2 start mm
            

            on LXSession, but yes now once i boot my Pi, mm start without any problem.

              @mpires so in the LXSession configuration menu under ‘autostart’, simply add the line ‘pm2 start mm’ and it’ll run at boot?
