Solution in this thread https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues/1243

in MagicMirror Folder

npm install electron@1.4.15

You guys should probaly do pm2 stop mm; pm2 kill to make sure it’s not running in the background.

Also, AFAIK, I think if you do git reset --hard you’d loose all your old config settings and other changes you’ve made?

@E3V3A The Config & Modules folder are not part of the Git repro. All other changes are overwritten.

I’ve released an update: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/releases/tag/v2.3.1

Just to say it…
It seem that many people having problems, are running something out dated.
Either: nodejs, npm, or pm2.

Because of the incredible dependency chain involved for node packages, I can only assume that using a newer versions of one package, will also require a newer version of the package depending on it, and possibly vice versa. Of course when things are working, it all beautiful, but it seem very easy that it doesn’t.

Same with me. I was not at home over Easter, had switched off the raspberry 3 days. Launched yesterday and just a black screen. :(
After that I read this with the new update and executed it, unfortunately without any changes. The downgrade of electron described above also brought no change. Still a black screen and no display via ip:8080.
