        @eightbit its only called ‘fix’ cause during my install script you can add pm2 support, or not… so its a separate script if u change your mind later

          @sdetweil Shoot. No luck! When I ran your script it loaded up and started perfectly and after the reboot it is hung on a white screen. In the logs it looks like it’s really trying to do something with the chromium browser but it just hangs and hangs. When it works on a pm2 start mm.sh (or using fixuppm2.sh) the log looks the same but then there are a couple lines after “starting chromium browser now”. I’ll post the log in another post.

                @sdetweil Yea I cleared out the systemd services I tried to enabled. They are disabled and stopped. I also tried an rc.local startup file to run the .sh file which never worked. I know that’s depreciated but desperate times and desperate measures lol.

                  @eightbit what device is this… you are using my install script which launches

                  run-start.sh

                  this is reserved for armv6 devices…
                  can u check the autostart

                  did you do this??? (answer should be no)

                      I did try to use systemd but it did not work so I disabled and deleted all the systemd attempts.

                              delete one of them and replace the other with

                              		"start": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",
                              

                              also do uname -a

                                        @eightbit thanks for the log… says electron did not install. hmm…

                                        thus trying to use chromium…
