      Hi all,
      just installed on a Rasberry pi 2 - Raspbian the Magic Mirror v2 beta using automatic script.
      I cannot manage to launch it through SSH nor directly, while launching DISPLAY=:0 nohup npm start & or DISPLAY=:0 npm start, I have following errors:

      pi@mirror2:~/MagicMirror $ DISPLAY=:0 npm start
      
      magicmirror@2.0.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
      electron js/electron.js

        I don’t know if it will help but try installing the pm2 commands. You can find them under auto start.

            @00conman This will not help, since there seems to be an issue with electron.

                @00conman No worries! PM2 is just a tool to keep the process running. If the MM fails/quits, PM2 will restart it.

                    Could you give the electron quick start a try?
                    https://github.com/electron/electron-quick-start

                    If that one doesn’t work either, its an Electron issue.

                        There seems to be an issue with electron on your RPi. Are you sure you are running it on a Pi 2? (And not a B+, they look very much alike…)

                        If so, I suggest you open an issue in the electron repository.

                                While You’re waiting, You could start the app using ‘node serveronly’ in this case you’ll have to use an other browser.

                                  Hi there,
                                  got it running using the serveronly feature… on my laptop, not with my “old” RPI1… (display is weired)
                                  But on my laptop, got some NULL lines…

                                  I got also issues with calendar and news while Mirror v2-beta was using wifi connection, since i moved it to a wired connection, i got calendar and news… if that helps…

                                    Got the same problem.
                                    Had MMv1 running for some months, now wanted to update to v2.

                                    Yesterday i installed it manually and it worked from the beginning.

                                    After that i thought about a clean Jessie Install because of the autostarting stuff from MMv1.

                                    Today i installed Jessie and MMv2 manually again, but now i got the same error msg :(

                                    I already tried the electron-quick-start and it worked.

                                      Have you tried using the automatic installer? A week ago I cleared my Pi model b 3 and used the auto starter. Note: you need to copy the config sample to js.

                                        cd node-v4.0.0-linux-armv7l
                                        sudo cp -R * /usr/local/
                                        

                                        and THEN installing it with the autoinstaller, it works.

                                        Thanks :D

                                          I think skipping the node 4 part would have worked as well. Since the installer installs node for you.
