@sdetweil Neither do I. Last I check I was running the base raspbian desktop and I don’t know how to get back to that

@sdetweil I’m not entirely sure what you mean “ssh into the pi” but I tried the “alt + spacebar + n” and the “alt + tab” but nothing happens and I’m stuck on a black screen. If I right click I can get commands to run applications or “emulate terminal” and there’s an option to exit OpenBox which just gives me more darkness and nothing happening when I right click.

I’m very new to using a pi and programming in general, so bear with me as I try to explain my situation. I haven’t used the pi for a while so I’m also kinda rusty with my commands and such. I did all the configuration of my mirror, and when I was happy with everything I ran the commands to auto-start the magic mirror software and rotate the screen and such. I need to change my WiFi network, but whenever I quit the mirror software I get a black screen and it restarts. I found commands online to disable and delete the auto-start (“pm2 stop mm” and “pm2 delete mm”) but now it just boots up to an empty black screen rotated 90 degrees. How can I restore my desktop or my orientation? Any help is appreciated.

If it helps, here’s what the terminal spits out

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

Not sure entirely what’s happening, as I’m super new to Raspberry Pi and everything involved with it. At first, I thought it was an issue with the module (MMM-network-signal) so I removed it from my config.js but I’m still getting the error. I’ve installed all the dependencies as well.

Any help would be appriciated!
