    UPDATE: there is a command window that papers on the boot up screen it does not leave i connected keyboard/mouse to it and can enter commands like a terminal window although pm2start will not work and npm start gives the following err (note i copied this by hand so there may be slight imperfections)

    npm ERR! code ENOENT
    npm ERR! sysca11 open
    npm ERR! path /home/pi/package . json
    npm ERR! errno -2
    npm ERR! enoent no such file or directory, open ‘/home/pi/package . jason’
    npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
    npm ERR! enoent

          : /home/pi/MagicMirror/mm.sh

          ok, you used some old instructions, cause the file was moved to the installers folder a long time ago…

          pm2 status
          pm2 delete xx
          where xx is the number of the line in the status (usually 0)
          or the name in the line

          pm2 save

          then use my script to fixup pm2
          see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

          the last command listed, fixuppm2.sh is the one u want to copy/paste to your terminal window

                  @beth this is the line you copy/pasted

                  bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixuppm2.sh)"
                  

                  right?

                  u don’t need to git clone this repo, just copy/paste the line

                    @beth black screen is another problem… (but pm2 launched MM on boot, so pm2 is ok)

                    typically it means a library needed by one of the MM modules you are using is missing
                    (we removed some dead libraries, in 2.16 and 2.17, but many modules didn’t document needing them, so oops…)

                    SO, you need to look at the logs

                    minimize MM, alt-spacebar, n

                    then open a terminal window

                    ctrl-alt-t

                    then type

                    pm2 logs – lines=100

                    and look for module not found

                    we know about

                    request
                    rrule-alt
                    valid-url

                      i can’t “minimize” mm2 it is just a black screen with a terminal window it just shows the mm2 logo and to the left a terminal window (it is rlly weird and looks the same as the backround all black)on the bottom left (below the terminal window) it says dphys-swapfile.service
