Ctrl-Q just gives a black screen

[Cliff365]

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
