        Well, it certainly shows that MM is launching and running. There are several black screen topics that you can look through. Do a forum search for black screen. Otherwise, perhaps someone else will chime in that had the same problem. I suspect that electron may be at fault or that your dependencies failed to install properly

            there is a bug in the electron browser that causes the black screen.

            i did

            npm remove electron
            npm install electron@1.7.9

            and it works fine now…

            someone posted another solution to issue 1243

              @sdetweil said in Raspberry 2 clean install showing as black screen:

              npm remove electron
              npm install electron@1.7.9

              I will have to try that. Thank you! My fix had been to install another web browser and use that. Electron’s built-in browser seemed to always show a black screen.
