        @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.

          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.
