you need to edit the file as root, the normal user pi does not have sufficient rights.

Run sudo nano /boot/config.txt instead

I try to save the file and overwrite the previous version of the file to only get the message “can’t open file to write”. Where am I going wrong on this?

When you typed in pm2 startup it clearly told you what you need to do, which I don’t see anywhere in your command log. I’m sorry, but if you can’t follow directions given to you, there is really not a whole lot anyone can do to help you. The instructions are there for you to follow, please do that.

Did you launch it, then save the task? You have to follow the steps one by one. Please go back and start from the top and do it again.

i create the script, and i saved it in the pm2
but if i restart my magic mirror they begin in the desktop
and if i use ‘pm2 start mm.sh’
they go to the mirror

with the command ‘pm2 show mm’ i see that is a x in the field “watch & reload”
what now ?

You need the desktop to run electron which is what displays the mirror. What you can do, is run an automatic (re)start of the mirror.

how i can delete my “desktop” and start with my npm (so i wanna after a restart direct to my npm not on my desktop)?

For rotation, using ‘display_rotate’ you can tell the OS how to rotate the output:

display_rotate=0           Normal
display_rotate=1           90 degrees
display_rotate=2          180 degrees
display_rotate=3          270 degrees
display_rotate=0x10000    horizontal flip
display_rotate=0x20000    vertical flip

Rotating the display is done by editing the /boot/config.txt file and adding the line display_rotate=1

and display=:0 isn’t it for vertical view?

X-Forwarding is not required nor necessary for a simple ssh login, startup, and exit.
