I am having what appears to be the same issue: “screen going black after X hours and the cursor in the top left of the screen”

How do I preform this with no keyboard/mouse attached?

Part 1:
@sdetweil

Just tried the

pm2 start installers/mm.sh
pm2 save

From within the “MagicMirror” folder and no change. MagicMirror starts and at reboot it does not automaticly start

See below for my fix

Part 2:
@mumblebaj
This seems possible. So i re-ran

sudo npm install -g pm2
pm2 startup

After running “pm2 startup” this time I noticed the following:

To setup the Startup Script, copy/paste the following command:
sudo env PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin /usr/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2 startup systemd -u pi --hp /home/pi

So I ran that and followed with the “pm2 start mm.sh” and “pm2 save”. Well now it is auto starting on reboot.

@sdetweil

Looking over the “Auto Start” page I do not see where it states that the pm2 commands are to be run while inside the MagicMirror folder.

With you stating that it seems to be saying that the “mm.sh” script needs to be ran from inside the “MagicMirror” too. Again the “Auto Start” page shows that it was created inside the ‘home’ (~) folder. So one would think/presume it can be ran from inside the “home” folder also.

Either way I will give it a go.

I am having the same problem: I did what was mentioned above and after the reboot it stll did not start automaticly. Running “pm2 list” after the reboot shows mm.sh is not runnning.

permitted by applicable law.
