Blank Screen - MagicMirror Fresh Install
-
Hi everyone, I just tried installing the MagicMirror module and when I started the module using npm start nothing shows up and all I can see is a black screen.
Has anyone ran into this problem before? Any help would be much appreciated.Thank you!

Are there any errors in your terminal or console?
-
@Mykle1 no errors, I’m trying to manually install it using your tutorial I’ll let you know if i run into the same problem.

Ok, take your time. Good luck.

Your monitor is directly connected to the Pi?

@Mykle1 yes it is but I am using VNC Viewer to input commands from my laptop.

Sounds like you’re in node server only mode. Try running
DISPLAY=:0 npm startthrough VNC.Also, after you launch MM but it doesn’t appear, try opening a browser window on your laptop and entering 192.168.1.1:8080 (but you would put the IP address of your Pi in place of 192.168.1.1)
