        @nickymac12 type:

        cd ~/MagicMirror/config (Takes you to the MM config directory)

        mv config.js.bak config.js (Restores your config file)

        pm2 restart mm (restarts MagicMirror)

          @nickymac12 ok. Try installing the sample config file.
          Type:

          cd ~/MagicMirror/config

          mv config.js config.js.bak (this will back up your existing config)

          cp config.js.sample config.js

          pm2 restart mm

          If magic mirror starts, then you either have a problem with your config or with a module.

          I checked the sample config. No other modules installed only the original. But i still have a blank screen…
          What would you propose?

            @fox I’d suggest backing up your MagicMirror folder (i.e. rename it) and try a fresh install. By renaming it you won’t lose anything.

              I Think so
              I just punched the

              bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)"
              

              in the terminal…

              @j.e.f.f do you know how i can solve the two pm2 sessions after a fresh install?
              With pm2 status i get always two MagicMirror/mm instances.
              If i kill one, it comes back after a few seconds

                type pm2 stop mm or pm2 stop mm.sh in a terminal

                Create a working config
