    @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

                      @sdetweil I am loathed to start the pi2 over again for the fourth time. here is what I have right now. I think I got MagicMirror and mm removed from the pm2. I installed mm when I thought things were not working.
                      41751be5-514e-4c1e-a149-5a6cfe629561-image.png

                      The HDMI output still does not work. I was thinking now I would run the pm2 startup command although I am sure I already did it and then I would run fixuppm2.
