Black screen after MM v2.4.0 update.

[A Former User]

After 2.4.0, Asus Tinker Board cannot display MM. I think it might be related with this openGL issues. Is there any way to solve this?
ATB has no openGL desktop driver like vc4-kms-v3d. Fake vc4-kms-v3d does not help.

I can’t access my mirror remotely anymore. Will I need to format my sd card and try again?

I am having the same issues and tried alot right now.

Tried the
dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d as well as dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d as well as deleting that phrase

I downgraded electron to npm install electron@1.4.15 since i found that helped in the V2.30 problems.

I cant currently show the log from starting MagicMirror since i remotly access it and the MM just goes “all black” over the remote-access-page and I cant close it.

I really just want to downgrad the MM to 2.3 since it worked absolutly fine with it…

Additional software I use is MM-PIR

Thanks Mykle1
Just how do i tell my pi to get the specific version? I am not versed in programming or coding or anything and couldnt find something online that told me how to install a specific version

One way is to go to that link I gave you and download the version you want and install it manually.

Bumping this because I’m also having issues. A lot of time on google says it’s not just a MagicMirror issue, but lots of people have problems with the OpenGL drivers. My screen is blanking after some time no matter what, but I also found the hard way that it messes with tvservice (like the Remote Control module uses) – turning my HDMI off straight up insta-shut down my pi! Gonna have to keep researching for sure.

I just updated and this is shown at the end of the install.

MagicMirror installation successful!

I applied

dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d

to the config.txt ( also tried with fkms)

Reboot and I get a black screen.

When I remove dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d then the mirror boots up.
Any suggestions?

Just found your guide: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/5274/how-to-manually-install-mm-on-your-pi-for-absolute-beginners

Going at it now and see if it works - thanks for the patience and writing that guide!
