      @sdetweil I followed your tutorial on adding the Jeopardy module (just to see what would happen) and it worked fine. The last step is npm start and when I did that I got this:

      > ./run-start.sh $1

          @sdetweil Hmmm. Okay. I tried that for the ‘alert’ module but it didn’t seem to have any impact:

          dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror $ cd modules/
          dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror/modules $ ls
          default  MMM-JEOPARDY
          dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror/modules $ cd default/
          dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror/modules/default $ ls
          alert  calendar  clock  compliments  defaultmodules.js  helloworld  newsfeed  updatenotification  utils.js  weather
          dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror/modules/default $ cd alert
          dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror/modules/default/alert $ ls package.json
          ls: cannot access 'package.json': No such file or directory
          dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror/modules/default/alert $ npm init -y
          Wrote to /home/dvg/MagicMirror/modules/default/alert/package.json:
          
          {
            "name": "alert",
            "version": "1.0.0",
            "description": "The alert module is one of the default modules of the MagicMirror². This module displays notifications from other modules.",
            "main": "alert.js",
            "scripts": {
              "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
            },
            "keywords": [],
            "author": "",
            "license": "ISC"
          }
          
          
          dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror/modules/default/alert $ cd ..
          dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror/modules/default $ cd ..
          dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror/modules $ cd ..
          dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror $ pm2 start MagicMirror

          Same result; just a bunch more restarts and nothing appearing. (The Pi desktop is there, though.)

                @sdetweil So, because I am relentless, I rebooted to see if that would help. It didn’t, but now it looks like I have a different problem altogether:

                cd MagicMirror/
                pm2 start MagicMirror
                [PM2] Spawning PM2 daemon with pm2_home=/home/dvg/.pm2
                [PM2] PM2 Successfully daemonized

                    @sdetweil Oh. I thought the alert module was also indicating it was missing. Okay, I’ve tried npm init -y inside the MMM-Jeopardy dir, too, now.

                    pm2 status gives me:

                    ┌────┬────────────────┬─────────────┬─────────┬─────────┬──────────┬────────┬──────┬───────────┬──────────┬──────────┬──────────┬──────────┐

                    ├────┼────────────────┼─────────────┼─────────┼─────────┼──────────┼────────┼──────┼───────────┼──────────┼──────────┼──────────┼──────────┤

                    And now a subsequent pm2 start MagicMirror gives me:

                    [PM2] Applying action restartProcessId on app [MagicMirror](ids: [ 0 ])
                    [PM2] [MagicMirror](0) ✓

                    ├────┼────────────────┼─────────────┼─────────┼─────────┼──────────┼────────┼──────┼───────────┼──────────┼──────────┼──────────┼──────────┤
                    │ 0  │ MagicMirror    │ default     │ 2.27.0  │ fork    │ 1986     │ 0s     │ 34   │ online    │ 0%       │ 22.6mb   │ dvg      │ disabled │
                    └────┴────────────────┴─────────────┴─────────┴─────────┴──────────┴────────┴──────┴───────────┴──────────┴──────────┴──────────┴──────────┘
                    

                    But there’s still nothing displaying (aside from the generic Pi OS desktop, I mean).

                        @sdetweil Ah. I see that. But … I don’t think the Jeopardy module is the main problem here. I’d prefer to simply remove that and try to get back to where I can even get MM to run in the first place; then I’ll screw around with adding modules. As it is I still can’t get MM to even run at all (plus all the restarts).
