@kellogg76 ok, do

pm2 status

[kellogg76]

Everything was stopped.

Add your own code metrics: http://bit.ly/code-metrics
Use `pm2 logs mmstart [--lines 1000]` to display logs
Use `pm2 env 0` to display environment variables
Use `pm2 monit` to monitor CPU and Memory usage mmstart

@kellogg76 weird…

and if you do pm2 start 0 it works ok?

[kellogg76]

@sdetweil it works in as much as I can see the magic mirror on another computer when I point to the correct IP, but the pi itself does not display anything at all, it sits at a terminal prompt or if I reboot and let it try to start on its own it’ll switch from prompt to black screen with mouse pointer as if it’s trying to start, then it loops back to a prompt and cycles between the two states.
