strange boot issuse

jhwwhite

So, I’ve got magic mirror installed. Once I updated a weird thing started to happen. In the middle of the Magic Mirror boot sequence. A command line shows up on top of the halfway booted Magic Mirror program. I’ve tried a fresh reboot Magic Mirror but no dice. Any suggestions? (I’m trying to upload a photo but that doesn’t seem to be be working)

@jhwwhite - I have a lot of questions, so bear with me.

Did you ever get the MagicMirror to work the way you expected?
Do you ever see the Raspberry Pi’s desktop during the boot sequence?
Are you using the latest version of Raspbian full edition (not Lite)?
Once you see that command line, can you SSH into the Pi?
If 4 is true, can you run the pm2 log 0 command and let us know what the logs say?

That is incredibly hard to read. Please consider this:

Sorry for the delay. I was out of town and forgot my laptop charging cable.

Yes I did

No. It goes strait to the Magic Mirror boot page

Are you using the latest version of Raspbian full edition (not Lite)?
It’s the full version I believe

Once you see that command line, can you SSH into the Pi?
Yes

If 4 is true, can you run the pm2 log 0 command and let us know what the logs say?
Sure

It just keeps going on like that

phreakinuts

Are you able to bypass the automatic boot sequence, boot normally, and start MagicMirror manually?

jhwwhite

@phreakinuts yeah. It’s the same issue

Did I not do it right?

phreakinuts

What does it show when you simply try to run it in the MagicMirror directory.

DISPLAY=:0 npm start

How did you perform the update? Sounds like an odd issue to have, but attributed to the update. Did you verify that nothing broke with pm2 when you performed the update?

bhepler

Yeah, that looks right. If you restart your process, do you see the mirror? pm2 restart 0
