    @theaddies screen black, yes, takes long time

    increase swap space helps some

    use Midori browser helps some more (have to install Midori, and set an env variable, see doc )

      @sdetweil The screen has been black for an hour. When i reboot, the first thing I see is the MagicMirror logo. That is different than before. Before it booted into the raspian desktop and then the magicmirror loaded. It did take a while. Now, as I said above, I see the MagicMirror logo it seems to be loading and then the screen goes blank. It does not come back. ssh works, but the keyboard and mouse on the pi itself will not wake it up.

      I did see the correct screen after I ran the command below, but I can’t do that now.

      DISPLAY=:0 npm start

            @theaddies ok, I was able to reproduce the problem

            after reboot do this

            pm2 startup

            it will return a command to execute

            copy paste that command and hit enter

            it worked for me to manually enter the command

            i opened this issue in pm2

                  @theaddies eh? not even the desktop?

                  I installed fresh on my pi0w, (all via ssh) and after fixing the pm2 issue it autostarts mm as expected

                      @theaddies cool

                      my pi0w test

                      flash sd card with legacy full desktop, 32gb sd card
                      edit the wap_supplicant file to enable wifi
                      boot
                      auto run update
                      enable ssh
                      change machine name (add a 0) (have others running on the network , pi3, pi4, pi42…)

                      reboot

                      logon via ssh

                      paste my install script url
                      run
                      select yes to pm2
                      select yes to screen saver off

                      pm2 install failed
                      fixuppm2 script failed

                      reboot

                      logon via ssh
                      run the pm2 startup command
                      copy/paste the output to execute pm2 setup again
                      worked this time
                      run fixuppm2 to add mm as an app…

                      mm starts

                      reboot

                      mm starts
