@geo has it always not been opening on boot?

use this script to fix that
see here
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10907/new-script-to-install-fix-pm2-config-for-start-on-boot

if the mm won’t start at all, that is a different problem

new on uk… which news source do you want? open their page, and scroll down to the bottom… thy usually list rss feeds

[sdetweil]

@La7dan just use pm2

[La7dan]

@sdetweil true service could be confusing

[La7dan]

@geo http://rss.cnn.com/services/podcasting/cnn10/rss.xml
this is an example for CNN news/.

[sdetweil]

@La7dan use the search feature on your favorite news site… here from the bbc, to find an rss feed to put into the news config

https://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=rss

@La7dan hi sorry for the delay the mm is up and running

[geo]

@sdetweil hi can you tell me how and where i can backup the config to in case i make more mistakes cheers

[sdetweil]

@geo open a terminal window
Then do

cd ~/MagicMirror/config
cp config.js config.js.save

That saves your current config.js to another file
