I have the exact same issue. Have you found a fix for this?

Have you tried reinstalling pm2 or installing the latest version?

sudo npm install pm2@latest -g

I can’t find the line mentioned in the file /usr/lib/node_modules/pm2.
So better reinstall I guess…

@lavolp3 I have not, right now my workaround is not using pm2 at all and just starting Magic Mirror with DISPLAY=:0 npm start

[dawookie1979]

tried re-installing, same issue

[dawookie1979]

@status-board how do I do this

[lavolp3]

@dawookie1979 @Status-Board
can you please explain again how (the command) and from which folder you have installed pm2?
And what is your system running?

[dawookie1979]

i have tried installing pm2 using sudo npm install pm2@latest -g command, either to the root directory or within magic mirror directory.

i am running raspberry pi3 Magic Mirror 2.5

@dawookie1979 - At a guess, it looks like pm2 is not compatible with the version of node that you have on your pi. I would try upgrading node then re-running the pm2 startup command.

[dawookie1979]

thanks, i will try that. Can you give me the command / commands to run this node update.
