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:

14 verbose stack Error: magicmirror@2.3.0 start: sh run-start.sh

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.

[Cyberwrights]

One more for blank screen, no joy after update per the instructions. Restarted MM using pm2, then rebooted the Pi. Ran the git reset --hard command, still nothing.

[NoNameRo]

for me it worked without problems as follows

pm2 stop mm

then

git pull && npm install

and then

pm2 restart mm

maybe it works for one or the other
