No display after upgrading to 2.38
-
on my setup, after upgrading to 2.38, the MM fullscreen display gets minimized to the taskbar right after startup.
after some debugging, it turned out that manual upgrading electron from 44.4.5 .to 44.5.0 fixed the issue.runnning mm on:
Raspberry Pi OS Debian 12 arm64
Display Wayland -
@wimThoelke thanks for the feedback…
how did you upgrade? manual or scripted?
-
@sdetweil
manual upgrade of mm bygit pull && node --run install-mmaccording to
https://docs.magicmirror.builders/getting-started/upgrade-guide.html.
then update of electron bynpm install --save-dev electron@44.5.0 -
@wimThoelke thanks. Very helpful

I’ve updated my scripts to install an updated electron to fix this problem…
during install or upgrade -
I can confirm this issue on my setup as well.
I upgraded MagicMirror from 2.37.0 to 2.38.0 on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B running Raspberry Pi OS Debian 13 (Trixie), 64-bit, with Wayland/labwc.
After the upgrade, MagicMirror was running under PM2 and the server on port 8080 was working correctly, but the Electron window remained black / did not display the mirror.
I initially had Electron 44.4.5, and upgrading manually to 44.5.0 did NOT fix the problem on my system.I then tested Electron 43.7.7, and MagicMirror worked correctly.
Finally, after seeing that the MagicMirror upgrade script had been updated to install Electron 44.5.1, I installed 44.5.1 manually:npm install --no-save electron@44.5.1With Electron 44.5.1, MagicMirror immediately started working correctly again under Wayland, with all my modules running normally.
So, at least on my Raspberry Pi 3B, 44.5.0 was not sufficient; Electron 44.5.1 was the version that actually fixed the problem.Thanks for updating the upgrade script to install 44.5.1 — that was essential in my case.
Hopefully this helps anyone else who finds that upgrading only to 44.5.0 doesn’t solve the issue. -
