2 MagicMirror windows

[umeeq]

Hi Everyone,

I’m very new to MM and need some assistance. I just tried entering the code to enable auto boot and now everytime the mirror boots I have 2 MM windows running. I have gone into the config.js file and edited to determine the correct window but now need to get rid of the second window I created by “enabling” auto boot.

Will backtracking to remove the code work?

Thanks in advance.

I assume PM2 is reporting something like this

In which case you would:

pm2 stop mm
pm2 delete mm
pm2 save
rm ~/mm.sh

Then check your instances again. :-)

@Mykle1
You are right. However, it seems like MagicMirror might be the one I should delete? When I run pm2 start mm.sh, the “mm” window launches.

Thanks for your help.

Yes sir :-)

This worked! Thank you so much.

You’re welcome. Peace!

@Mykle1 You helped me with this a year ago and I ran into the same issue. I deleted MagicMirror, and now when I run pm2 start mm.sh the mirror doesn’t launch. I also noticed the mm.sh file was missing from /home/pi.

@umeeq mm.sh is located in /home/pi/MagicMirror/installers

@sdetweil Thanks for your response Sam.

I initially also saw a version in /home/pi, possibly the duplicate.

I’m still not sure how to boot the correct version of the mm though. Also not sure how I keep setting up two MMs.

Thanks in advance.

@umeeq pm2 delete one of the apps or copy mm.sh into the MM folder

[umeeq]

@sdetweil As in here?

/home/pi/MagicMirror

[sdetweil]

@umeeq yes… MM (or mm) = MagicMirror (tired of typing it out all the time)

[umeeq]

@sdetweil No worries, I just wasn’t sure where you meant to copy it into.

I copied it into /home/pi/MagicMirror… ran pm2 start mm.sh and still nothing.

I can execute the file from the folder location, but cant run pm2 stop mm to stop the app. I ran pm2 show mm and got the result below.

pm2 start mm.sh

from what folder?

[umeeq]

@sdetweil Copied from /home/pi/MagicMirror/installers into /home/pi/MagicMirror. Mind you I didn’t delete the original in the installers folder.

Bare with me with the hand-holding.

@umeeq - Looking at your info, the pm2 process is expecting to find the mm.sh file in the folder /home/pi

It’s this line: script path /home/pi/mm.sh

So move the script to that location.

mv /home/pi/MagicMirror/mm.sh /home/pi
chmod +x /home/pi/mm.sh

@bhepler This worked, thank you!
