Electron install dificulties

@missingxtension so, you said you fixed the multiple instances issue… what did u do to fix that?

Missingxtension

shutdown -r now

I did a reboot. After that the menus are gone from the window manager, even for chromium. That seems to stop the multiple instances, otherwise it just keeps loading them over and over again.

@missingxtension can u do

pm2 status

and show the results

After a restart the window decorations are gone ( I think they are still called that). Then only one instance starts.
While I was preparing this response, it eventually stopped loading instances.

@missingxtension the pm2 status column w the little curly cue is number of restarts.so pm2 thinks it failed…

can u do
pm2 stop all
pm2 logs --lines =100

and
grep start ~/MagicMirror/package.json

@sdetweil
stop all wasn’t necessary
I had already killed the MM instances. But I can reinstall MM from a fresh if you need me to.

@missingxtension so, pm2’s job is to start and keep running the processes it manages.

chromium is not supposed to ‘exit’, altho it does on 2nd thru nth, when it opens a page in an existing browser…

the question is why did the 1st instance end…

did u change the package,json after install?

do this

pm2 delete 0

then run the fixuppm2 script from my scripts site… last entry
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

this will recreate the pm2 entry
