    • RE: MagicMirror will not always let me use control M

      @sdetweil ,

      thank you for your reply, using alt/spacebar worked. During the wait period I did look-up PM2 and was able to use, in terminal, the pm2-stop command which worked once; when trying to use that command again I was prompted to do another command that I was not able to comprehend. Then I got your reply which worked!

      If I may ask, what is the UI? Linux is new to me, I started with computers in the late 80’s with a Comodore 64 then a 128, moving up to an Epson 286. I’v tried coding but just never got that interested in it. I liked the hardware side more and started to build PC’s instead.

    • MagicMirror will not always let me use control M

      Hello all,

      I’m new to this forum.

      I’ve been working with Raspberry Pi 4/5 for about 1 year. I saw a video on YouTube last year about the MagicMirror and thought it was quite interesting. Since then I have self taught myself how to install MM and the Globe module (lukeskywalker92). For the last 10 to 12 months everything was sort of OK. In the past 3 weeks MM has refused to obey the control/M command so I can access my desk top. Rebooting several time at first would get to where I could use control/M but the past 3 days all I can access is my terminal with control-option/T.

      I have used sdetweil auto install/startup for the MM and then add the GLOBE by skywalker, this is all I have on the screen, and on my RPi’s.

      A bit of history on me: I’m a Vietnam Vet, retired UAW Machine Repairman (38yrs) whose hobbies are computers, 1:48 scale model aircraft, reading science fiction and auto mechanic. I am NOT into coding/programming, but I can follow instructions. I have 4 RPi’s, 2 are RPi 4 B, and 2 RPi 5’s. I’vet set them up myself along with help from the internet.

      What I’d like to know is there a terminal command that will halt the MM (besides the control/M) as well as a possible fix for this problem? I’ve tried to search this but I don’t think I am phrasing my question correctly.

      If you need further information please let me know and I will try to comply. LOL

      Many thanks in advance to any and all who might assist me.

      Ken
