      @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 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.

              noob here reporting same issue and same workaround works for me.

              Exact Same issue and hardware and OS as poster. From a clean build, updated all before running MM auto installer as I thought I had made a mistake my first time around.

              “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”

              server nodeonly -works
              npm start -does not

              changing ‘en’ to ‘’ in config.js works as a workaround. It will now open in electron.

                Odd bug, as I have two different rpi 3s running just fine with 'en' as the value. This makes me wonder … can any of you paste the contents of your ‘/usr/share/X11/locale/’ folder?

                $ sudo ls -aF /usr/share/X11/locale/
                

                A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?
