What about this part:

[2020-10-18 12:12:44.535] [ERROR] MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
[2020-10-18 12:12:44.538] [ERROR] If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

@natebrown and this one:

[2020-10-18 12:12:43.003] [ERROR] (node:25630) [DEP0005] DeprecationWarning: Buffer() is deprecated due to security and usability issues. Please use the Buffer.alloc(), Buffer.allocUnsafe(), or Buffer.from() methods instead.

@natebrown said in NPM start, starts but with blank screen:

DeprecationWarning:

just a warning that some code (not ours) is using a library call that is going away sometime in the future

[natebrown]

@sdetweil Thanks, also when i start up my Pi, it shows the “Raspberry Pi OS” Screen and I want it to be just black and how do I speed up autostart (I use sh).

[sdetweil]

@natebrown if u had used the scripted install, it would have asked if u want to use the node process manager, pm to start at boot

u can add it, see command for fixuppm2 here

https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

speed up? no idea

[natebrown]

@sdetweil 1st: Do i execute it in the MagicMirror folder and once its installed what do I do? And will it effect anything on MagicMirror?

[sdetweil]

@natebrown the scripts don’t care, they adjust.

this script changes the installers/mm.sh

[sdetweil]

@natebrown once it is installed. on next boot mm will start. if it fails pm2 will restart it. if you ctrl-q, pm2 will restart it.

minimize and use the pm2 command to stop, start, restart, view logs…

see pm2 --help

[sdetweil]

@natebrown and turn off your sh script, else u will have two starting

[natebrown]

@sdetweil how do i turn it off? ive just statted up my pi and magicmirror hasnt started.

[sdetweil]

@natebrown pm2 stop 0
pm2 delete 0
pm2 save

[sdetweil]

@natebrown pm2 logs --lines=50

@sdetweil said in NPM start, starts but with blank screen:

pm2 stop 0
pm2 delete 0
pm2 save

oh ok thanks. im also still getting the splashscreen on boot

[sdetweil]

@natebrown there is a step during scripted install to add the mm splash screen.

[natebrown]

@sdetweil oh.now ive installed your scripts but now the autostart is not working, I’ve deleted all the pm2 things and it is still not working.

[sdetweil]

@natebrown u don’t install my scripts. u use the scripts to do the different tasks

each command is a cut and paste to execute.
