      I know this thread is quite old, hoping @Mykle1 or someone still looks at it.

      I followed the instructions and have a MM running on my Acer Revo. However, when I start MagicMirror, all I see is a blank screen. I have pm2 and electron installed, where do I find the logfile to try to track down the issue?

        @cliff365 is it before adding any modules? or after?

        if after see here
        https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later

        if before do

        pm2 stop all
        pm2 flush
        pm2 start 0
        pm2 logs --lines=50

          Thanks @sdetweil , I entered the lines, but I had a bit of a problem getting MM to not restart while I tried to capture the logs. Hope this provides some insight:

            @cliff365 this post seems to imply installing as root and running as user or vice versa.

            https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/8464/back-screan-when-start-up-an-errors

            delete the mm folder and use my script

            https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

            do NOT use sudo , and use a normal user, not logon as root

              @sdetweil You are amazing! I wish I knew Linux as well I know Windows, but so it goes. Your suggestion worked! Thanks again!
