      I have no idea how I did this. From MM, I press ctrl-q, the screen goes black, and then pm2 dutifully restarts MM. Using Alt File/Quit also just gives a black screen.

      Any insights as to how to restore my system screen greatly appreciated.

        @Cliff365 ctrl-m will minimize the MM screen

        also

        alt-spacebar-n

        (both same as windows)

        then ctrl-alt-t to open terminal window
        the pm2 stop all

        once its stopped, then use the manual commandline to test

        cd ~/MagicMirror
        npm start 
        

        ctrl-Q will work here as pm2 is not in control

        then u can see the startup messages
