Just for clarity, I enter (without starting/ending quotes), npm “start”:“node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js”???

@sdetweil Perfect timing…thanks! I was trying “npm start” and “npm serveronly” with no luck. I’ll give it a go.

RE: Complete Walkthrough - Install MagicMirror on a PC - Windows 7/10
I’ve started this installation process from 3 years ago on an old Acer laptop running Windows 10. It’s installing MM2 right now. Just wondering…have the walkthrough steps/commands changed in the intervening 3 years in any way that I need to know? I scanned the 85 posts and didn’t see any, but I could have missed it/them. Thanks! And, I’m really glad this topic is still alive!

All fonts too small on start-up
Sometimes when I reboot (sudo reboot now), the MM (autostarting with PM2) starts up with fonts that are way too small. I’ll go through the reboot procedure again and it often, but not always, starts with the correct fonts. Every once in a while I’ll have to reboot a third time. Once the MM is up and running it’s very stable. Has anyone experienced this and solved the problem? Can anyone suggest a place to start to diagnose and solve this problem? Thanks!

RE: Daily reboot inconsistency
@dwburger Just another thought…I have a second MM that’s hung on the wall in my office. It’s rock solid and rarely needs to be restarted. I should have thought to have them co-located for a while to see if there are any response differences. So, for the near-term, my two MM will be about a foot from one another.

RE: Daily reboot inconsistency
@ember1205 OK…I see your point. I think the major problem is the instability of the wifi. Once I focused on that I realized that my MM (running on a RPi with 7" LCD display) sits on top of my refrigerator (that’s also a few feet from a microwave). I hadn’t thought about signal interference from the kitchen equipment until now. I’m going to move the MM near to the router and remove all auto reboot/restart scripts to see how it responds over the coming days.

Daily reboot inconsistency
My RPi loses wifi connection often so I set up a daily reboot (using crontab). It works most of the time, but often enough Magic Mirror won’t start after the reboot using PM2. Sometimes MM starts, but the fonts are all very small. Sometimes it takes 3-4 manual reboots of the RPi to get MM up and running again. Just wondering whether anyone else has observed this in their own MM and found a fix and/or if anyone has suggestions on how to approach this problem. Thanks in advance for any help!

Pushbullet trouble
I’m using the Pushbullet module and all is well when I first start the MM2. However, after some time (usually days) messages to Pushbullet no longer display on the MM2. Those messages do appear on other devices connected to Pushbullet. I’ve thought it was because of a wifi drop, but I can remote into the Rpi using PuTTY while the Pushbullet messages don’t display so I don’t think it’s that. Can anyone suggest where else I should look to solve this problem??? Thanks!

RE: Associating module output with custom.css
@j-e-f-f Your suggestions worked well…thanks! It took me a while to get the localhost access working, but I can now view my MM2.5 using my Chrome web browser and then using the inspector to find displayed items I want to change. Thanks again!

RE: Associating module output with custom.css
Thanks for all the helpful and informative replies! Lots of information for this relative beginner to digest. I’ll work on the suggestions offered and see how I progress. Thanks again!
