Blank Black Screen - noob

[dslucki]

I am running MagicMirror but all I get is a black blank screen. All I have is the default script. I am running on a Pi Zero with WiFi an have used instructions that I found here. When I run node serveronly it runs without any errors. I can connect to it but it is just a blank screen.

Config.js file is:

var config = {
    port: 8080,
    ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.1/120" , "192.168.1.6"],
    language: 'en',
    timeFormat: 24,
    units: 'metric',

    modules: [
        {
            module: 'alert',
        },
        {
            module: 'clock',
            position: 'top_left',
            config: {
                displayType: 'analog',
                analogFace: 'face-001',
            }
        },
        {
            module: 'calendar',
            header: 'UK Holidays',
            position: 'top_right',
            config: {
                calendars: [
                    {
                        symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
                        url: 'webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/UK-Holidays.ics'
                    }
                ]
            }
        },
        {
            module: 'newsfeed',
            position: 'bottom_bar',
            config: {
                feeds: [
                    {
                        title: "BBC UK News",
                        url: "http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/uk/rss.xml"
                    }
                ],
                showSourceTitle: true,
                showPublishDate: true,
                showDescription: true,
            }
        },
    ]
};

if (typeof module !== 'undefined') {module.exports = config;}

Any help is appreciated.

@dslucki your config looks good, I guess one of these functions uses es6 features which the midori browser doesnt support. You can open the developer console on your browser and see the errors

[dslucki]

@strawberry-3.141 OK, that was a good tip. So here is a screen shot of the inspect in Midori. It is all Greek to me. Anyone have any ideas?

[strawberry 3.141]

@dslucki you forgot to do npm install in MagicMirror directory

[dslucki]

@strawberry-3.141 I thought I did that. I ran it again and here is the output

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm install

Then I ran it as: sudo npm install

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo npm install

npm WARN cannot run in wd magicmirror@2.1.1 sh installers/postinstall/postinstall.sh (wd=/home/pi/MagicMirror)

@dslucki you dont have the permission to access, you probably did sudo npm install before and so your normal pi user has restricted access to it.

try npm install --unsafe-perm

@strawberry-3.141 SUCCESS! Thanks.

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo npm install --unsafe-perm
