        @bworch do

        pm2 logs --lines=100
        

        may be better without pm2 for debug

        pm2 stop all
        cd ~/MagicMirror
        npm start >somefile.txt 2>&1

        wait 15 seconds
        ctrl-c

        edit the somefile.txt

                    @bworch ok, I suggest you run my upgrade script

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

                    the upgrade script second pass with

                    force

                    instead of apply

                                    @sdetweil I did a force restart on the pi, and it is working on the screen, but VNC terminal isn’t picking it up, it just shows the pi splash screen. at least the display is working. Not sure why it isn’t showing on the VNC terminal.

                                          @bworch so I go another sm card build it again. I copied my config, modules, and CSS files over, and when I run an npm start MagicMorror I get the following. I guess we don’t use pm2 anymore. I get a black screen if it starts. I am also getting a commit or stash again. How do I commit or stash.

                                          magicmirror@2.21.0 start

                                            @sdetweil @bworch said in MM will not start:

                                            so I go another sm card build it again. I copied my config, modules, and CSS files over, and when I run an npm start MagicMorror I get the following. I guess we don’t use pm2 anymore. I get a black screen if it starts. I am also getting a commit or stash again. How do I commit or stash.
