          no, the boot menu from the magic mirror appears (booting up), no error but it goes straight to the desktop.

                @Gomalley pm2 runs a script,
                installers/mm.sh

                It should read

                cd /home/pi/MagicMirror
                ...etc
                

                Change it if not.

                Then

                pm2 restart 0

                  I tried it but I do not think that it worked. My code before I touched it read

                  cd ~/MagicMirror
                  

                  Now i tried two things both gave same output

                  cd ~/home/pi/MagicMirror
                  

                  and

                  cd /home/pi/MagicMirror
                  

                  It now says
                  [PM2] Spawning PM2 daemon with pm2_home=/home/pi/.pm2
                  [PM2] PM2 Successfully daemonized
                  Use --update-env to update environment variables
                  [PM2] Applying action restartProcessId on app [0](ids: [ ‘0’ ])
                  [PM2] [ERROR] Process 0 not found

                  In my mm.sh the file currently reads this:
                  cd /home/pi/MagicMirror
                  DISPLAY=:0 npm start

                    And I tried restarting the pi and the “Booting up” MagicMirror2 showed but it never actually loaded.

                        just did a fresh install of my magicmirror, because the sd card went corrupt.
                        during the install procedure it somehwere asked me if i want to autostart MagicMirror.
                        after that it started automatically after booting into the desktop first.
                        When trying to use pm2, it shows me the process is already running, but it’s name is MagicMirror , not mm.
                        MagicMirror version 2.8.0
