Magic mirror is not showing up

[CoopDog1712]

@sdetweil i dont think i saw one. i never installed any modulles, even the ones that should come with it are not showing up

[sdetweil]

@CoopDog1712 ok, still show the messages where u start mm

either via
npm start
or
pm2

if pm2., then
pm2 logs --lines=50

will show the console output

what pi is this?

[CoopDog1712]

@sdetweil pi 4

[CoopDog1712]

@sdetweil

[sdetweil]

@CoopDog1712 ah yes, fun times…

do

pm2 stop all 
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install electron@17.2.0
npm start 

mm should come up

minimize mm (alt-spacebar, n)

ctrl-c to stop running instance

then

pm2 status

this will show the status or pm2 managed apps.

use the name or the row number

pm2 start xxx

xxx is the name or the row number
for example

pm2 start 0

@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

[CoopDog1712]

@sdetweil i installed it manually, and no it didnt

[sdetweil]

@CoopDog1712 what is the output of pm2 status?

[CoopDog1712]

@sdetweil

[sdetweil]

@CoopDog1712 ok, pm2 flush

then

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start 

[CoopDog1712]

@sdetweil k i did that and it was still a blank screen, so i stoped it and did pm2 logs --lines=50 and got this

also would it be worth a try to just completely delete everything and then start from scratch?

[sdetweil]

@CoopDog1712 yeh, I don’t know whats going on

do

pm2 delete 4
pm2 save -f
rm -rf MagicMirror

then run my install script

see
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

it will prompt if u want pm2 again
and for turn off screen saver

does everything

[CoopDog1712]

@sdetweil do you mean 0 in stead of 4?

[sdetweil]

@CoopDog1712 whatever the number is . it was 4…

or use the name
MagicMirror

whatever shows in

pm2 status

[CoopDog1712]

@sdetweil do you mean 0 in stead of 4
