        @sdetweil I really appreciate your help with this!

        The log has over 600 lines in it. Is there something specific to look for?

                The log says your disk/sd card is full (or failing)

                  @sdetweil Thank you! Looks like I have some cloning to do (once I get the new card)

                    @Lmagenis yes, maybe there is a bunch of log files you can delete

                    Then you could use my backup/restore scripts
                    https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore.git

                    Which has a perfect use for this
                    Very small data. Can use GitHub too as the storage place

                      @sdetweil got the new card up and running! Went through the scripts as you instructed but came up with a new error. Started the magic mirror in x11 and it works! Thanks again for your help! You’re indispensable!

                        @Lmagenis great news!!!

                        Where did you see the error ?

                        How did you install MagicMirror on the new system?

                          @sdetweil I backed up the files with your script first in case the sd copy program in the pi failed. I didn’t need the backup, but it’s nice to have in case something goes wrong.

                          when I ran “npm start” it was loading the modules and returned this:

                          (I skipped copying the earliest info about all of the modules)

                            @Lmagenis ok, understood

                            We changed npm start to use the Wayland compositor, instead of x11 because the pi os has that as default now

                            If you used my install script and selected pm2, then my startup script (mm.sh) detects which compositor is running, and issues the appropriate start command
