      I’m trying to make MagicMirror Autostart at boot, by following the guide on github using pm2.
      I worked once, but now I get this error.

      pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 start mm

        Also, I tried starting it using npm start; the mirror worked fine, but this is the error.

        pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

        MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
        If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

        Inspite of this, the mirror showed me the latest news, but not the calendar. :/

            EADDRINUSE means there is another process running on port 8080

            Please run netstat -lntu on your raspberry in terminal and check what processes are running on port 8080

              maybe the MMM-Remote Control ?
              I’ll try the command when I get home.

              Btw, what does this mean? Is there something wrong?

                I’m just guessing, but I imagine that since the bootup ran into an error (address/port in use) it could not load its files and as such could not continue proper boot.
