      @amanzimdwini said in (Solved) PM2 does not start on reboot:

      Where do you change the timeout settings?

      /etc/systemd/system/pm2-root.service
      

      I changed mine from 8 to 15s using WinSCP with the SCP/Shell set to sudo su -

        @xbmcnut took me a good 10 seconds to find pm2-pi.service for the raspberry
        And another 5 to change it.

        YOU ARE A GENIUS!
        thanks

            @rmohsen Do you know how to access your mirror with either PuTTy or WinSCP?

              @xbmcnut yes. Tried winscp but couldn’t edit the file , no permission

              I managed to change it from 8 to 15 with another command on terminal but still not working

                @rmohsen Apologies. My install has died over the weekend and MM will no longer run. Getting to Desktop login screen on reboot and that’s it even though I told it to auto login, the desktop will not start. Have popped in ‘too hard bin’ for the moment, sorry.

                    @Sandy2503 I believe in the latest version of PM2, this was removed.

                      today is install a fresh version of raspian pixel on my raspi 2 with the new version (2.1.1) of MagicMirror and the actual version of PM2 (2.4.5)

                      But the autostart function themes not to work and in the pm2-root.service is no part to set the idle time.

                      How can i fix the idle Problem ?
