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

[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.

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

Pi. Electron window is black, but shows cursor.

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

[Cyberwrights]

@NoNameRo Intuition tells me I should have stopped the service before applying the update, but unfortunately the instructions do not…

[NoNameRo]

I do not know if it is absolutely necessary to stop the service, for me it was obvious to do it

Perhaps try stopping all instances of electron and node.

Stop pm2

Then try the install again.

Reboot the Pi.

Could everyone state what version of node you are running? (And if it works or not).
