dazza120

On my Pi I’m getting a window that’s says magic mirror and when you go into it the modules are running then I’m getting another window that says electron if I go into that it’s a black screen but it keeps running every time I close the window it starts itself running again this is only since installing 2.7.1. is there a way that i can stop the second MagicMirror running as it just displays a black screen pm2 start mm is the only one that displays MagicMirror Help lol

Not sure what it was doing but stopped PM2 from starting MagicMirror the second one that i had on the screen by using the below

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 list

@dazza120
I think you’d installed 2.7.1 by installer script. In that script, registering MM into pm2 exists. It makes duplicated instance beside your existing.
I think to remove contents of installers/mm.sh is one solution, but not tested.
PS
Ignore above suggestion. I’d misunderstood your question.

@Sean Hi Sean mm is working but i have know idea what version is running as you say it creats two, MagicMirror one isnt working how do i clear that up, I can’t even find installers/mm.sh on the pi lol but as said only the MagicMirror version is not working not mm. What would you suggest? Thanks for the assist

@dazza120
After pm2 delete, try pm2 save. It will take a snapshot for current status and keep it on next start.

@Sean is there a way of me knowing what version of MM is running? Only one version is running now according to pm2 list, so thank you, but I want to make sure I’m running the correct version to stop the cron jobs running as the old elctron killed it after a few hours.

@dazza120
I think it doesn’t matter unless there are two different installation really. (with different folder name). Is that case?
If you have only one NEW version of MM on your RPI, both apps (MagicMirror or mm) will point same MM. Your case seems just two app(but same instance) registered.

@Sean Thanks Sean no only one folder, so think we are sorted thank you.
