    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:

        @dejayou: could you try your magic mirror without the wuforecast module?

            Hello @MichMich and everyone!

            First of all big thanks for this really cool project, my bathroom mirror is progressing well ;-)

            Unfortunately I cannot confirm that this issue here is solved.

            After succeeding to set up a Pi 1 with the serveronly feature, I ordered a Pi 3, did almost the same but maybe not thoroughly, thought I messed up, and started over from scratch:

            I ran the automatic installer and left the config.js.sample as it was (this was the lucky move!). I started the mirror with DISPLAY=:0 npm start. The interface shows up and gives the message: please create a config.js file.
            But when I do mv config.js.sample config.js and restart the mirror, I get a black screen. When I now set the language to ‘’, it works as supposed.
            So maybe also one of the default modules messes up (like the “wuforecast”)?
            Anyhow may I suggest to just set the language field blank in the config.js.sample, so that others don’t stumble upon this?

            Thank you and Cheers, Patrick

            PS:
            Pi 3 Model B v1.2
            $uname -a
            Linux raspberrypi 4.4.11-v7+ #888 SMP Mon May 23 20:10:33 BST 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux

            The only commands I ever executed after reinstall were:
            sudo su
            sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y
            sudo apt-get install -y x11-xserver-utils unclutter matchbox vim
            curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash
            cd MagicMirror/
            DISPLAY=:0 npm start

              @spazehorst could you try it with The sample config? Especially no 3rd party modules.

                @MichMich well, as I wrote above, I just renamed the sample config which is currently checkd in, never even opened it ;-) That’s why I said it must be one of those default modules…
                (I am sitting on this commit: 5d9d71dee8c300fede321dbafb5ff7aa79f1ea30)
                Cheers

                    @MichMich Hi, sorry for the late reply, I could now quickly test it and with the sample config of the devel branch (commit e2ed0f5e55c132633bcbd5c7c64159c0aaced571) it works.

                    edit: after pulling the master again, it now also works there with language: ‘en’

                    Cheers

                      It works with the master branch because the update was also pushed to that a few days ago. So you’ll all good. :)

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