      I open the File Manager , then open the " boot " folder , then click into the " cmdline.txt , see there’s a text :
      " console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=7e583fb6-02 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait quiet splash plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles "

            https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

            additional scripts that may be useful
            the install has two sections of additional support I have provided those separately too, in case u need to run one separately, or changed your mind after install

            turn off screen saver and setup pm2 to autostart MM on boot…
            screensaveroff.sh, cut/paste this line into the terminal window on your device

            bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/screensaveroff.sh)”

            fixuppm2.sh, cut/paste this line into the terminal window on your device

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

              @peterpang Hi, you need to run the editor with root privileges “sudo vi …” or “sudo nano …”
