Blank black screen | Noob
-
With the default
config.jsyou get a blank screen when you try to run'npm start'? If so, what’s the hardware? Have you updated the OS? All variables. -
I used the automatic installer located here, https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror, and followed every step.
I’m using a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.
I’m running Raspian Jesse 4.4, Node v4.4.3.
The MagicMirror is up-to-date -

THIS is the setup that worked GREAT for me:
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial(Surprised KirAsh4 did not mention it. Follow it step by step; first time around will take you 30 min, but after that you will fly through it). Work. It really does.

@Arod192, that’s a rather old version of node. When you run the automatic install from MM², it installs a more recent version automatically. You shouldn’t have to do that manually.
-
@amanzimdwini, I didn’t mention it … yet … because I like to figure out where the problem is, before I tell someone to start from scratch. :)
-
@KirAsh4 Update Node.js and I’m still having the problem
-
@KirAsh4 Okay I just changed the language from en to nl (just to see what’ll happen) and now it works!
But now everything is in the “nl” language but when I change it back to “en” the screen is black again
-
@KirAsh4 Looks like all languages work but when I change the language to en I get a black screen
-
@KirAsh4 Alright I think I fixed it. What I did was I went into the translations folder and I renamed en.js to en-us.js. After that I went into the config and changed en to en-us.
-
@Arod192 I can confirm this is a bug. Hardcoding ‘en’ in config.js causes black-screen, however, leaving it as ’ ’ or node serveronly runs fine.
