        @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:

        ┌────┬────────────────┬─────────────┬─────────┬─────────┬──────────┬────────┬──────┬───────────┬──────────┬──────────┬──────────┬──────────┐
        │ id │ name           │ namespace   │ version │ mode    │ pid      │ uptime │ ↺    │ status    │ cpu      │ mem      │ user     │ watching │
        ├────┼────────────────┼─────────────┼─────────┼─────────┼──────────┼────────┼──────┼───────────┼──────────┼──────────┼──────────┼──────────┤

        └────┴────────────────┴─────────────┴─────────┴─────────┴──────────┴────────┴──────┴───────────┴──────────┴──────────┴──────────┴──────────┘
        

        And now a subsequent pm2 start MagicMirror gives me:

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

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

        └────┴────────────────┴─────────────┴─────────┴─────────┴──────────┴────────┴──────┴───────────┴──────────┴──────────┴──────────┴──────────┘
        

        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).

              @sdetweil Am I wrong about this? It actually appears that ‘electron’ is the missing module. But that’s not in /modules it’s in /js … Do I follow the same npm init steps to get it?

                @davidgagne no the electron missing is a problem in MagicMirror code…

                hang on…

                  @davidgagne ok, lets clean up and restart

                  all command line commands

                  pm2 flush (to get clear out the old logs) 
                  
                  pm2 status
                  
                  cd ~/MagicMirror
                  npm start 
                  

                  all show work… and if you loaded the missing library in the MMM-Jeopardy module then all should be ok.

                  then ctrl-q on the MM screen should stop it

                  then

                  pm2 restart 0
                  

                  and MM should come back up

                      `@sdetweil Sadly that didn’t seem to work at all.

                      pm2 flush gave me:

                      Then pm2 status gave me:

                        you only did 1

                        … the more concerning part is that pm2 didn’t get setup as a service and start on boot… i haven’t looked at the log yet
