@Desertswing No idea what that did but it worked, just need to make it show the weather as that seems to have gone away

@shbatm said in PM2 MM2 Not starting on start up:

sudo pm2 startup systemd -u pi --hp /home/pi

Can also confirm this worked for me, too.

Thank you @shbatm

@shbatm I’ve tried the following steps but it still doesn’t work, can you help me?

sudo pm2 startup systemd -u pi --hp /home/pi
nano mm.sh
cd ~/MagicMirror
DISPLAY=:0 npm start
CTRL-O
Enter
CTRL-X
chmod +x mm.sh
pm2 start mm.sh
pm2 save
sudo reboot

Thanks in advance.

@pum there is an existing script provided by MagicMirror now, please try deleting everything on your ~/.pm2 directory, then using:

sudo su -c "env PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin pm2 startup linux -u pi --hp /home/pi"
    pm2 start ~/MagicMirror/installers/pm2_MagicMirror.json
    pm2 save

You may have to use systemd instead of linux in the first line if you get an error.

PM2 is not managing any process, skipping save…

Even this tread is old, but i have an issue with the starting of mm:

Everything worked well, then i installed MMM-CECControl.
I saved my config.js file bevor i entered the module line in there. But not as usual mm didn´t restart. Not even after a reboot of my raspberry.

Also when i start mm with
pm2 start mm
and
pm2 start MagicMirror
nothing happened.

i don´t know what i should do to start my mm as bevore…
