    So i mad the MM start after a lot of troubles (https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6060/failed-at-the-magicmirror-2-2-2-start-script-sh-run-start-sh?page=1)
    Now the problem is that the display/vncview stays black, no module shown. What can i do?
    This is the console log from vnc

    ~/MagicMirror $ npm start
    
    > magicmirror@2.2.2 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
    > sh run-start.sh
    
    Starting MagicMirror: v2.2.2
    Loading config ...
    Loading module helpers ...
    No helper found for module: alert.
    Initializing new module helper ...
    Module helper loaded: updatenotification
    No helper found for module: clock.
    Initializing new module helper ...
    Module helper loaded: calendar
    No helper found for module: compliments.

    Connecting socket for: calendar
    Starting node helper for: calendar
    Connecting socket for: newsfeed
    Starting module: newsfeed
    Sockets connected & modules started ...
    Launching application.
    

    If i start without anty config i still get a black screen (compared to the old error message about the config file)

    pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start
    
    > magicmirror@2.2.2 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
    > sh run-start.sh
    
    Starting MagicMirror: v2.2.2
    Loading config ...
