Frequently Asked Questions

RPi not shutting down?!!? Getting a strange Interactive Authorization thing

Ouch, maybe this could help. If not, this surely could do the trick.

MagicMirror instance isn't rebooting!!! HEEELP!!

Chill, probably you don't have PM2, or you had a issue with it's installation. See MM Wiki and 118

My MagicMirror screen isn't turning off

You'll probably have to set a Custom Command. Triple check if the commands you're adding does what they're supposed to do. If monitorStatusCommand isn't correctly placed, the toggle function would not work!

I can't change anything in my mirror!

This could be because you didn't set an ApiKey and SecureEndpoints it's blocking you out. If that's not the issue, please submit an issue.

MagicMirror cannot start?? Black screen of death or something..

Must be an error in your config file or custom menu file. To check if you're doing everything right, check this page.

The installation does strange things

Maybe your installation of MM isn't the common one, please use the docs for every installation. We should focus in problems from one installation, because there're hundreds of them out there. Anyways, you could fill a question issue and we'll try to help you.

I wanna post an issue, but I don't know how to see the logs

Every time you issue npm start, a bunch of code randomly shows up inside the terminal, that's the log! Alternatively, if you use PM2, you can use pm2 logs to see them. Full logs can be shown by using pm2 logs and restarting the MM instance. Remember to hide every personal matter when posting a log somewhere.
