Electron install dificulties

Missingxtension

shutdown -r now

I did a reboot. After that the menus are gone from the window manager, even for chromium. That seems to stop the multiple instances, otherwise it just keeps loading them over and over again.

After a restart the window decorations are gone ( I think they are still called that). Then only one instance starts.
While I was preparing this response, it eventually stopped loading instances.

@missingxtension the pm2 status column w the little curly cue is number of restarts.so pm2 thinks it failed…

can u do
pm2 stop all
pm2 logs --lines =100

and
grep start ~/MagicMirror/package.json

@sdetweil
stop all wasn’t necessary
I had already killed the MM instances. But I can reinstall MM from a fresh if you need me to.

@missingxtension so, pm2’s job is to start and keep running the processes it manages.

chromium is not supposed to ‘exit’, altho it does on 2nd thru nth, when it opens a page in an existing browser…

the question is why did the 1st instance end…

did u change the package,json after install?

do this

pm2 delete 0

then run the fixuppm2 script from my scripts site… last entry
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

this will recreate the pm2 entry
