      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.

      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
