@Syosse you don’t need to run all the commands

the install asks if u want to turn off the screensaver. if you said yes, then it’s done

if u said no then you would run the screensaver off script it’s the exact same script code. it’s just there if you changed your mind.

now on to the pm2 thing
same same. but

in some systems the automation script has trouble

do this

pm2 startup

it will output a command to execute
copy/paste that command and hit enter

when it’s done do

| edited
pm2 start ~/MagicMirror/installers/pm2_MagicMirror_new.json
pm2 save

then reboot

All right thanks for the Information with the Screensave, now its for me clear.
I have done u Command but it shows me : [PM2][ERROR] Script not found: /home/Admin/up

do u know why ?

Thanyk so much!

[sdetweil]

@Syosse if you used either of my scripts I download that file

do

ls ~/MagicMirror/installers -laF

[sdetweil]

@sdetweil is Admin the root user, or the userid u created at SD card startup time?

pm2 will run as user not root

Oh man, what was the problem?

but it works when done manually…

thanks man , unfortunately there is still a problem as soon as I enter the following commands it works and magic mirror starts but after reboot the desktop comes back

with this command Magic Mirror starts

pm2 start  ~/MagicMirror/installers/pm2_MagicMirror_new.json

after this command it still works

pm2 save

and after this reboot command the raspberry pi restarts and it shows the desktop instead Magic Mirror.

 sudo reboot

thanks so much

@Syosse did you execute the command output from first

pm2 startup 

[Syosse]

Admin@magicmirror:~ $ 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 Admin --hp /home/Admin

thanks so much

[sdetweil]

Finally it works many many thanks to @sdetweil

[sdetweil]

@Syosse and your troubles convinced me to look at the pm2 setup problem from the script, and I was able to see the issue and fix it for others…

thanks…
