      Hello everybody

      When I start the PI I see the desktop and after 2-3 seconds later the MagicMirror starts. The screen just stays black. The MaigcMirror has worked for 2 months without any problems, that problem is only 2 days.
      I can also post logs here if you tell me which logs are relevant. I can access the PI via putty.

      Thank you very much for your help

        @cyrus1337 - Let’s start with the mirror logs. Try pm2 log MagicMirror and let us know what it shows.

            Also, it’s always important to check the config file. Do a

            npm run config:check
            

            inside the MagicMirror folder.
            And then, I would always test to just restart it, last time I had the problem it was magically solved by this

            pm2 restart mm

                So, when I run npm run this comes:

                > magicmirror@2.5.0 config:check /home/pi/MagicMirror
                > node tests/configs/check_config.js
                
                Checking file...  /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js
                Your configuration file doesn't contain syntax errors :)
                
                

                Here is the pm2 log:

                  says that the mm config is trying to listen on a specific address, which is NOT the same as on the machine MM is running on…

                  show us your config.js
