      This is an pi 3 Model B V1.2
      the HDMI is about 2 Centimeters right to the MicroUSB Power input.

      I updated to raspianOS bookworm first.

          Ok this does not work.
          So it seems to be raspianOS failure.

            @kupperma I ONLY use SSH to install MM… never use the actual display.

            have pi 0w, 02w, 3, 4,5 odroid, jetson nano, chromebox, chromebook,
            and multiple virtual machines under vmware

            NEVER seen npm run start say successful but not see it on screen…

            also, on the screen if u can,
            ctrl-c to stop the in ssh version
            on screen
            cd ~/Magicmirror
            npm start

                The display does not react to ctrl-alt-t and there is no terminal visible.

                    I know what you mean:

                    in an earlier installation I could move the mouse and the menubar got visible or I could press F11 and the menubar got visible. But now nothing works.
                    So should I reinstall raspian and start from the beginning or is there a work a round?

                      @kupperma can u reboot? does anything change? again weird…

                      did you have MM running before? what would you lose starting over?

                      IF you start over,
                      new flash
                      boot, skip updates,
                      reboot turn on ssh

                      then run my install script… it will update system, install node, then mm…

                        I start over!
                        Thanks for the checklist.
                        I wont loose much for my custom.css , config.js I have the code copied in a textfile. The modules I would have to reinstall but thats ok.

                        Thank you for your time.

                          @kupperma run my backup/restore script… it saves all that and can be loaded up to github and versioned and restored from there

                          https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore

                          it saves links to all the modules and restores from the links
