            Did the IP change by chance? Check to see if IP is static and ssh into pi that way.

                @beth check your router to see if the system has a reserved address

                u can find its address with
                ifconfig command in a terminal window

                ethxx is ethernet wired
                wlanxx is wireless lan

                    UPDATE: there is a command window that papers on the boot up screen it does not leave i connected keyboard/mouse to it and can enter commands like a terminal window although pm2start will not work and npm start gives the following err (note i copied this by hand so there may be slight imperfections)

                    npm ERR! code ENOENT
                    npm ERR! sysca11 open
                    npm ERR! path /home/pi/package . json
                    npm ERR! errno -2
                    npm ERR! enoent no such file or directory, open ‘/home/pi/package . jason’
                    npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
                    npm ERR! enoent

                      @beth said in MM2 not loading text:

                      /home/pi/

                      u are not in the MagicMirror folder for npm start

                      and its pm2 start (notice the space)

                      pm2 status will show u the pm2 currently managed apps
