reloaded sd card, loaded MM, and clicked to use auto start during set up, now I cant get to pi gui to make any changes, it just starts mm full screen. How do I change it so I start it if i cant get behind it? only vnc is set on.

@navyvette87

Press your Alt key. This will drop a menu bar at the top. Minimize MM there and type pm2 stop mm in your terminal to stop the mirror. pm2 start mm will start your mirror when you are ready

Please correct me if i am wrong.

What Mykle1 said is right. Have u used the automatic installer and said “YES” when it asked u too start automatically i think the process of pm2 is called MagicMirror. So the commands should be:

pm2 stop MagicMirror
pm2 start MagicMirror
pm2 save MagicMirror (to save the current status (on or off))

Ahhh, thanks for putting me straight. I don’t do automatic installations anymore. I’ve only installed PM2 manually and use the commands that I stated. Good catch @cruunnerr! :-)
