      @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?

              Hey Everyone,
              I was have the same issue. Change from ‘en’ to ’ ’ now it works.
              @KirAsh4 this is my “locale” folder.

                And in the EN_US.UTF-8 folder? Is there stuff in there?

                    Yeah that’s odd, it’s the same on mine, so you do have en_US locale installed on the rpi. But why is MM² failing for you, when it’s working fine for me, that’s a bit of a mystery. If you don’t mind, just for grins, would you care to run through only Step 2 in this post: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial/4, specifically the Internationalization part.

                      This is a real strange situation. I tried it with different language setting, but none of them seem to cause an issue. (Even when using language: 'foobar', it just works fine.) Could one of you who is experiencing the bug, look in the developer’s console for any error messages?

                        @MichMich I think this has something to do with electron? Because everything runs fine on server only.
