Blank black screen | Noob

[KirAsh4]

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.

[MichMich]

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?

[MichMich]

It’s not the node log. It’s the console log you can see in the developers tools. A screenshot (with the red error messages) is enough.

I just pushed a possible fix to the develop branch. Please let me know if this solves the issue.

Hi MichMich- I am using the new develop branch and whatever the fix was is not working for me. I am still getting the blank black screen. I also wasn’t able to fix it with changing the naming conventions related to the language settings that worked for others.

[MichMich]

In your case its probably an other issue. Could you share your config.js (don’t forget to take out sensitive info)?

Hi MichMich,
Thank you for continuing to work with me on this matter. Here is the config file:
