If you want to update your MagicMirror² to the latest version, use your terminal to go to your Magic Mirror folder and type the following command:

git pull && npm install

If you changed nothing more than the config or the modules, this should work without any problems. Type git status to see your changes, if there are any, you can reset them with git reset --hard. After that, git pull should be possible.

I’ve just applied the latest update and get a blank, black screen.

If I kill electron, I get back to the Pi desktop, until electron auto restarts.

Any advice on how to get MM back again, please?

Thanks!

Also my MagicMirror is a blank screen. Will not start again

[chef]

PIR disabled in config (as a precaution, elimination)
Pi shutdown, powered off, and restarted.
MM Still blank on Pi.
MM OK on a LAN PC, via :8080

Yep. I see I’m not the only one with a blank screen…
I did the git pull && npm install. It went through with only two warnings. Then after pm2 restart mm.sh I got the blank screen. I see that there is an npm-debug.log that contains some errors:

Any help would be appreciated.

I returned from a copied img from my sd card to an older version and only did

git pull

didn’t do the

npm install

at least now it works again

[chef]

strange I’m not seeing a black screen.

Perhaps an issue with the auto start script? But I’m unsure.

Electron was updated in this release as well.
