      Hi.
      Firstly, thanks for awesome programming!

      Now, I have followed this tutorial EXACTLY:
      https://howchoo.com/g/ntcymzbimjv/how-to-install-magic-mirror-on-your-raspberry-pi exactly.

      And at step 8 (see my screenshot) after the reboot a stupid blank black “electron” window shows up on top of my MagicMirror window. So I have to go on to my pi gui and minimize it.
      If I try to close it another new “Electron window” pops up on top.
      :(

      I’m using the Raspberry Pi 3 B+.

      How can I get rid of the “electron window”???

      Kindest regards, Håkan

        So, what I did was I stopped mm.sh and removed the autostart and also removed the mm.sh and now it only boots up one magic mirror windows. Where this is coming from I have no idea but it works.

        Cheers

          If you enter pm2 list in a console, what is the result?
          I guess your pm2 starts MagicMirror twice, as it will be installed by default from the MagicMirror installer script.

            Ok, yes. I think this was the issue. So when I removed the autostart from pm2 it now only boots up the one MagicMirror.
            Now I’m just having problems to show the MMM-Globe module even though I have activated the OpenGL on the pi.

            After I removed the autostart from mm.sh my “pm2 ls” command now shows:
