    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.

        pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo ls -aF /usr/share/X11/locale/
        ./            fi_FI.UTF-8/       iso8859-11/  iso8859-6/    ja.SJIS/      locale.dir         sr_CS.UTF-8/   zh_CN.gb18030/    zh_TW.UTF-8/

          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.

                    I can’t really see how that’s affected. It’s just a variable that will be used to select the right file. I really need a log from the console to figure out what’s wrong.

                      @MichMich How do I dump the log file?
