    The script is identical on both. It works on one, but other gives me a black screen with just a cursor. I have tried bing and chromecast sources and still a black screen.

    {
    			module: "MMM-Wallpaper",
    				// git clone https://github.com/kolbyjack/MMM-Wallpaper.git
    				position: "fullscreen_below",
    				config: { 
    				// See "Configuration options" for more information.
    					source: "chromecast",
    					slideInterval: 30 * 500 // Change slides every 30 seconds
    				}
    		},

      @Cliff365 show the output from npm start

      and also open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i on the mm window,
      select the console tab and enter wall in the filter field

        @Cliff365 im guessing it this

        if (typeof(fetch) === “undefined”) {
        fetch = require(“fetch”);
        }

        on the system that fails, (black screen) do

        node -v

        i bet its less than 18…

            @sdetweil Where would that code go? Command line?

            Node -v returns 16.19.0.

            Do you know the command to update node?

              @Cliff365 best thing to do is run my upgrade script

                @sdetweil Thanks! I ran the script, and it’s been sitting at this for about an hour. I assume I should just reinstall MM.

                  @Cliff365 no. maybe get out?

                  try this

                  sudo apt-get -y remove nodes npm
                  

                  then node -v

                  the npm install was supposed to be done in the module folder

                    On my system before Wallpaper was updated as well, I did a npm install fetch in the module directory to get it back.

                    might be worth a shot.

                      @sdetweil said in MMM-Wallpaper gives black screen on one MM. Other one works.:

                      sudo apt-get -y remove nodes npm

                      I think that did the trick. Thanks! node now reports v20,5,1
