      Hi,

      Have restart loop with MM v2.9.0.
      Running RPi3:

      Linux magicpi 4.19.66-v7+ #1253 SMP Thu Aug 15 11:49:46 BST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux
      

      Logs show nothing special:

        @efevee pm2 will restart the app if it terminates, so

        do this

        pm2 stop 0
        

        then

        cd ~/MagicMirror
        npm start
        

        report any errors

          I/m over SSH, having RPi connected to HDMI monitor so I ran as below.
          Ended with command line prompt, no change on display… MM didn’t run.

                card is not full…

                after the git pull, did u do npm install? and for any modules that have a package.json, do the same in each such module folder (the update script mentioned below does this all for you)

                are u willing to try to update to the latest ? (2.9.0) with the new update script
                see here https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10859/new-update-upgrade-script-ready-for-testing

                because u have already attempted update, u will need to add force as a parameter on the end of the url
                (just like the example with apply)

                  Renamed folder and tried fresh install with another script mentioned on forum but it hanged with “apt-get update” when running as pi user

                  Now upgrading to Buster, however have RPi image two weeks before this behaviour started (haven’t done anything inbetween). When buster fails to fix this issue will reimage sd card and either wait till the issue happens again or will force update to refresh MM as you suggest.

                    was that my new update script?

                    https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10171/anyone-want-to-try-updated-installer

                    sometimes the apt-get update takes a while, there is a apt-get upgrade right behind it to actually update the files…
                    apt-get update just updates the list of potential updates
