PM2 problems
For some reason, running MagicMirror on PM2 with this module doesn’t seem to work on Raspberry Pi. The mic does not pick up. If anyone has a solution or cause for this, it would be greatly appreciated. I would recommend to start the MagicMirror the traditional way of npm start.

I have that issue.

@uok825 can u show the pm2 logs during this kind of launch

pm2 stop  0
pm2 flush
pm2 start 0

do your tests

pm2 logs --lines=100
pm2 info 0

@uok825 such a shame you rebuilt all this yourself… if u had used my install script it would have set it all up for you…

just use raspian buster full and voila…

uok825

@sdetweil Sorry i saw this first http://emmanuelcontreras.com/how-to/how-to-create-a-magic-mirror-2-with-pi-zero-w/

sdetweil

@uok825 yeh, old stuff…

uok825

@sdetweil Can you share link your script i flash another sd card raspian and try yourse thx for the help

sdetweil

@uok825 all my scripts are here
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts
just copy/paste the command for install

use raspian buster
https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspberry-pi-os/

i test on my pi0w all the time

uok825

@sdetweil okey thx the raspian is downloading

sdetweil

@uok825 not lite, right?

uok825

@sdetweil not lite but “Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit) with desktop” is it problem?

not recommend software
