Perhaps try stopping all instances of electron and node.

Stop pm2

Then try the install again.

Reboot the Pi.

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? …

v6.12.3
Not working

btw that command if anyone else needs to look it up is just
$ 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.

MichMich

Could someone try the following in the MagicMirror folder:

npm install electron@1.4.15

If 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

Uhhmm… thats odd. It’s just a command to downgrade electron.

MichMich

It seems to fix the issue for others. Not sure why you are unable to downgrade electron.

Could you reboot and try again @harry?

Yep. Reboot helped.
Rebooted, stopped MagicMirror and then the downgrade worked.
MagicMirror is up and running again!

Thanks a lot!
