Hi,
I just installed MM on my Pi 400 and it was working fine until i tried installing 3rd party modules. When I start it up i get the following code:

> magicmirror@2.17.1 start
> DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js "run"

App threw an error during load
Error: Cannot find module 'logger'

Thank you for your help.

@garbleflux
Thanks, so i want it to turn on at 6:30 every morning and turn off at 9 every night, If i copy and paste that into crontab -e, will that work? What is the exact code i need?

Hi there,

I was wondering if there was technology out there where i can set a timer to make the mirror turn on and off automatically at a specific time each day. I cant find anything. Does anyone else use something similar?

@sdetweil oh.now ive installed your scripts but now the autostart is not working, I’ve deleted all the pm2 things and it is still not working.

@sdetweil said in NPM start, starts but with blank screen:

pm2 stop 0
pm2 delete 0
pm2 save

oh ok thanks. im also still getting the splashscreen on boot

@sdetweil how do i turn it off? ive just statted up my pi and magicmirror hasnt started.

@sdetweil 1st: Do i execute it in the MagicMirror folder and once its installed what do I do? And will it effect anything on MagicMirror?

@sdetweil Thanks, also when i start up my Pi, it shows the “Raspberry Pi OS” Screen and I want it to be just black and how do I speed up autostart (I use sh).

@natebrown and this one:

@sdetweil

What about this part:

[2020-10-18 12:12:44.535] [ERROR] MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
