So ... to update MagicMirror I would ... ??
-
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.
-
for me it worked without problems as follows
pm2 stop mmthen
git pull && npm installand then
pm2 restart mmmaybe it works for one or the other
-
@NoNameRo Intuition tells me I should have stopped the service before applying the update, but unfortunately the instructions do not…
-
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).

Tried this, same result. Blank mirror although pm2 reports it is online.

Working on node version 6.13.1
I think I can see where this is going… The blank screen is the mirror running, but there could be an issue with loading the page data? …

$ node -v@Cyberwrights thanks for that … I just used ‘dpkg -l | grep ii | less’, and that took forever to find node … lol
-
My first thought there is an issue with electron. Looking into it.
-
Could someone try the following in the MagicMirror folder:
npm install electron@1.4.15If this works, please state your Node version as well. (
node -v) -

npm install electron@1.4.15
pi@ham-raspi:~/MagicMirror $ npm install electron@1.4.15
electron@1.4.15 postinstall /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron
node install.js- @types/node@8.10.1 node_modules/@types/node
magicmirror@2.3.0 /home/pi/MagicMirror
└── electron@1.4.15 invalid
Node v6.12.3
- @types/node@8.10.1 node_modules/@types/node
-
Uhhmm… thats odd. It’s just a command to downgrade electron.
-
It seems to fix the issue for others. Not sure why you are unable to downgrade electron.
