<![CDATA[PM2 do not start at bootup on my RPI 2? Works fine on my RPI 3.]]>Hi!

I’m having trouble to get my PM2 to work on my RPI 2.
I’ve installed PM2 through the MM installation:
“curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash”
Everything is installed without any errors.

Here’s the problem.

When i do this on my RPI 3 it works just fine! MM starts at bootup and everything works as it should.

BUT! When i do the exact same thing on my RPI 2 it do not work?
When i restart the RPI 2 nothing happens… PM2 dosen’t boot.
I’ve tired to install PM2 afterwards but no difference.

Do anybody have any ideas?

I tried this but somehow the RPI 2 didn’t boot up with pm2. Worked just fine with my RPI 3.

Did you save your PM2 state before reboot? If you’re willing to experiment, remove the PM2 commands from your crontab and reboot your mirror. Once it’s back up, start the mirror with pm2 start mm, wait for the interface to appear and then enter pm2 save.

Once PM2 has saved the state, reboot your mirror and MM2 should start after a few seconds.

errors in crontab file, can’t install.

do you have the @reboot before pm2 start mm.sh if you dont try with that

“/tmp/crontab.gpsLPh/crontab”:22: bad time specifier
errors in crontab file, can’t install.
Do you want to retry the same edit? (y/n)

only way to get PM2 to start is by using:

pm2 start mm.sh
