NPM start, starts but with blank screen

[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

[natebrown]

@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.
