      @1a2a3a correct…

      in version 2.35 we documented that we changed the default to

      npm run start:wayland

      for npm start

      see package,json, scripts: section for the command options

            @1a2a3a SO much fun

            do this and give me the output

            grep "module:" ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js | sort | uniq

            and I’ll look thru them

                @1a2a3a ok, I didn’t find it the easy way

                lets try the easier way

                find ~/MagicMirror/modules -type d | grep punycode | sort

                each module listed has it as a dependency either directly or indirectly
                on my system (with a lot of modules installed, but most not used)

                /home/sam/MagicMirror/modules/Hello-Lucy/node_modules/punycode

                because its not listed in one of the modules directly, its a dependency of a dependency

                          @1a2a3a yep, its a dependency 3 layers down…

                          “node_modules/yahoo-finance2”

                          only thing is to open an issue on the module github page and see if the author can/will fix it

                                  @1a2a3a which issue?

                                  the punycode will still be reported…

                                  it should start mm with the appropriate start command

                                        @1a2a3a ok, lets test

                                        pm2 stop all

                                        bash -x mm.sh

                                        where ever mm.sh is, mine is usually in ~/MagicMirror/installers

                                        pm2 status
                                        pm2 info xx

                                        where xx is the line number of the MagicMirror instance you are starting

                                        to see which mm.sh it is using , for example

                                        │ script path       │ /home/sam/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh
