      @theaddies interesting, log says one of them got installed

      Unpacking chromium-browser (92.0.4515.98~buster-rpt2)

      note u had an extra w in the text on last message

      browswer
      pm2 setup for autostart having trouble…

      you do

      pm2 autostart
      and it gives you the command to execute to make that happen

      then it says it can’t find the systemd init system to update, after it just said that is the one to use…
      will have to research and debug

        The screen for the raspberry pi is blank. this output is from ssh.

        I just typed it again and now I get
        /usr/bin/chromium-broswer

        sorry about that.

          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

                            my pi0w test

                            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

                            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

                              @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.

                                  @theaddies yes, it says spawining, so pm2 is not set to autostart

                                  do

                                  pm2 startup
                                  

                                  it will output a command string, copy paste that command string (last line) and hit enter,
                                  DO NOT USE MINE BELOW

                                  pi@raspberrypi0:~ $ pm2 startup
                                  [PM2] Init System found: systemd
                                  [PM2] To setup the Startup Script, copy/paste the following command:
                                  sudo env PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2 startup systemd -u pi --hp /home/pi
                                  

                                  note the error in your post of running my fixuppm2 script
                                  init system not found

                                  THAT is the problem… for some reason it cannot figure out HOW to do the correct startup stuff…
                                  BUT it just said what type to use…

                                    @sdetweil OK So I went ahead and did the whole thing over again for the fourth time with the exact method you outlined. It works. It would be nice to somehow let the next poor sod who wants to waste 2 days of their life of the right way to do this on a pi2.
