Thanks for your help. This has me running again. I need to work on the weather module some more. I have the current weather working, but the forecast is hung on ‘loading’. Thanks again for the super quick responses!

@bugsounet thx… added to upgrade, had for install

@thad pm2 status shows the processes registered to manage

pm2 info x (x is name or number) will show what it run

pm2 delete x will remove an entry

pm2 --help will show all the things u can do .

Thanks. I was able to remove the entry I created this morning, to there’s only one. I’m still having issues with pm2. If I start MM using pm2 after a couple of minutes it restarts. The pm2 log shows:

PM2 | pm2 has been killed by signal, dumping process list before exit…
PM2 | Deleting process 0
PM2 | Stopping app:MagicMirror id:0
PM2 | App [MagicMirror:0] exited with code [0] via signal [SIGTERM]
0|MagicMirror | /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron exited with signal SIGTERM
PM2 | pid=1386 msg=process killed
PM2 | Exited peacefully
0|MagicM

For some reason this keeps cycling. At the moment I’ve started MM using the run-start.sh script and it appears to be stable.

@thad is there a cron job running? maybe killing pm2

[thad]

@sdetweil

I don’t have any cron jobs running. A crontab -l says there’s nothing for user pi.

[sdetweil]

@thad ok, lets see if we can start over on pm2

do

pm2 unstartup

it will give u a command to issue to remove the pm2 hooks
then do

sudo npm uninstall pm2 

then run my fixuppm2.sh script again … it will redo all the setup

@sdetweil

Looks promising! MagicMirror has been running with the same pid for 5 minutes now!

@sdetweil

That worked for around 20 minutes and now it’s restarting randomly again. Let me get the pm2 logs…

@thad fun times

edit package.json and add

--disable-gpu

between the node_modules/electron and the js/electron.js

on the start statement

on my phone so hard to build good statement result… like this…

"start":"DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:=:0}./node_modules/.bin/electron --disable-gpu js/electron.js"
