@sdetweil after i installed electron@17.2.0 then started it, this came up

then i did start pm2 start 4, and it started, but was still a blank screen

sdetweil

@CoopDog1712 says something is still running…

you didn’t do pm2 stop all

after doing test

ps -ef | grep -i magicmirror

should return nothing

CoopDog1712

@sdetweil whoops…
ok is did pm2 stop all and then entered that line of code you gave me and got this

sdetweil

@CoopDog1712

ok do

we will delete 1 entry so you don’t have 2 trying to run at the same time
and then reboot

pm2 delete  1
pm2 save
sudo reboot

CoopDog1712

@sdetweil k i rebooted, then i started it up. nothing came up, still a blank screen so i did pm2 stop all and then did pm2 logs --lines=50 and these came up

sdetweil

@CoopDog1712

pm2 status again

also, how did you install mm? manual or my automated script?

did you setup MM autostart before adding pm2?

ps -ef | grep -i magicmirror
