      I also do not get an error when copy/pasting your config lines.

      $ npm run config:check
      

      does not give an error.
      You should try it yourself; a very useful command.
      Perhaps the error does not apply to the MMM-DropboxWallpaper config ?

          @smartsoldier We don’t know. Remove all the modules in config.js and add one-by-one. Let’s see what happens.

            @sean If I remove this module everything runs fine, then if I put it back this happens. Does that mean its this module or no?

              Are you willing to share the syntax error with us?
              I thought you were referring to the “create config file” message at startup.

                @smartsoldier Of course, it could be the fails of that module configuration.

                    No error at all. I didn’t modify anything.

                      Well I guess that settles that. I’ll just do a reinstall. Thanks for all the help though. You responded really quickly :)

                        @smartsoldier Please edit the post with the config.js and remove your private api keys, like apiKey and dropboxAccessToken.

                          I personally would not do a complete re-install, but I would re-install the modules according to their instructions.
                          Those modules would be:

                          MMM-DropboxWallpaper
                          MMM-forecast-io
                          MMM-DailyBibleVerse

                          In that order.
                          Btw, are all modules under the MagicMirror/modules directory ?
                          You yourself proofed that most stuff works.
                          @Sean proofed that your config is okay.

                          Btw, a simple ‘trick’ to disable a module is to put

                          disabled: true,

                          under the module name

                          and

                          disabled: false,

                          to enable it again.

                          Disabled:

                          module: 'MMM-DropboxWallpaper',
                          disabled: true,
                          

                          Enabled:

                          module: 'MMM-DropboxWallpaper',
                          disabled: false,
                          

                          This gives you a faster way of excluding ‘wrong’ modules.
                          Or simply to test a module, whilst leaving the config when the module is not needed.

                            @smartsoldier cut and paste your code in the www.jslint.com

                            check single quotes, spaces

                            and test it… you should find your error quickly

                            fix, and cut/paste the results back into the config.js

                              Did you try to remove the comma as I suggested?

                              Those give me fits everytime… no errors. black screen
