      MagicMirror was running great, but after restarting the Pi, now it gets hung up here:

      Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

          @sdetweil image is from the orangePi cmd terminal. When I restarted, everything came up as normal, but when I try to start MagicMirror in the terminal it just hangs up and never starts. Wish it would at least give me some kind of error or something.

            @SymmetriC ok, try this

            ctrl-c to stop that
            cd ~/MagicMirror
            rm -rf node_modules
            rm package-lock.json
            npm install --omit=dev --no-audit --no-fund 
            npm start

              @sdetweil Thanks for your quick reply!
              Ran what you said and got this:

              Not sure what it means (researching now), but at least I have an error finally! haha

                  @sdetweil thanks for catching the typo.
                  Ran it again correctly this time; here’s what I have:

                  Still hung up trying to launch MM. I’m lost

                    @SymmetriC well then…

                    instead of npm start, try server only

                    npm run server
                    which takes electron out of the mix

                      @SymmetriC did u try server only?

                      I really have no idea what could be wrong.

                      code reinstall leads to the same problem

                      unless the DISPLAY env variable is wrong

                      in the terminal window do

                      echo $DISPLAY

                      but the other messages should come out before electron is started

                        @sdetweil Appreciate the follow-up. Sorry for my radio silence; replied to the post shortly after your response on Sunday, but guess I wasn’t logged in so it got rejected. Here’s an update:
                        Started MM in npm run server mode, but MMM-EveryNews still wouldn’t load. Great idea though on starting in server to bypass ‘electron’ 👍 Still dumbfounded why ‘electron’ was having such a hard time.

                        Decided I was done messing with the OrangePi and loaded up a spare RaspberryPi 3 I had laying around. The Pi I was running the MM on was an OrangePi zero2, which is a pretty nice piece of hardware if you are having a hard time finding a good priced RaspberryPi, but I think there may be some driver or OS issues, since it tries to replicate the RaspberryPi OS. 🤷♂

                        Loaded up the RaspberryPi with Raspbian, then reloaded all the same MM modules and hit run. Ran like a champ after configuring everything, including https://github.com/mykle1/MMM-EveryNews/issues/5 from @sdetweil.

                        Moral of the story - think either a driver got messed up, an OS file got messed up, or I was messed up. Starting from scratch did the trick though, and it’s up and running.

                        Thanks @sdetweil! I appreciate your help and timely responses!
