So ... to update MagicMirror I would ... ??

[Richard238]

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

Same issue, i´ve updated and got a black screen.

[Richard238]

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.

[MichMich]

In most cases it’s because the port is still in use. First thing to try if it fails to start after an update: reboot the pi.

[Richard238]

Power off & on restores VNC, and LAN access displaying MM. (Hurrah!).

Pi. Electron window is black, but shows cursor.
