      @beth said in MM2 not loading text:

      : /home/pi/MagicMirror/mm.sh

      ok, you used some old instructions, cause the file was moved to the installers folder a long time ago…

      pm2 status
      pm2 delete xx
      where xx is the number of the line in the status (usually 0)
      or the name in the line

      pm2 save

      then use my script to fixup pm2
      see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

      the last command listed, fixuppm2.sh is the one u want to copy/paste to your terminal window

              @beth this is the line you copy/pasted

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

              right?

              u don’t need to git clone this repo, just copy/paste the line

                @beth black screen is another problem… (but pm2 launched MM on boot, so pm2 is ok)

                typically it means a library needed by one of the MM modules you are using is missing
                (we removed some dead libraries, in 2.16 and 2.17, but many modules didn’t document needing them, so oops…)

                SO, you need to look at the logs

                minimize MM, alt-spacebar, n

                then open a terminal window

                ctrl-alt-t

                then type

                pm2 logs – lines=100

                and look for module not found

                we know about

                request
                rrule-alt
                valid-url

                  i can’t “minimize” mm2 it is just a black screen with a terminal window it just shows the mm2 logo and to the left a terminal window (it is rlly weird and looks the same as the backround all black)on the bottom left (below the terminal window) it says dphys-swapfile.service

                    @beth that is something else.

                    do you have ssh enabled?

                        @beth I think that is hung before mm gets running. the bottom message is a boot time message
