MMM-AssistantMk2 Problem with Blackscreen

npm start dev should be executed in root of ‘MagicMirror’ directory.

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start dev

(And if you were using pm2 previously, pm2 stop mm before execution)

pi@raspberrypi3:~/MagicMirror $ npm start dev

> magicmirror@2.5.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
> sh run-start.sh "dev"

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

@seppel1078 said in MMM-AssistantMk2 Problem with Blackscreen:

NODE_MODULE_VERSION 59. This version of Node.js requires

This is the reason.
See https://github.com/eouia/MMM-AssistantMk2#installation

I’ll try that out. Thanks for the quick help so far

[seppel1078]

now the magic mirror starts normally. Many thanks for the help

Can you please share the config file used for MMM-AssistantMk2. I am also getting same black screen issue with cursor. What step you took for solving this issue.

@sunilkvr
{
module: “MMM-AssistantMk2”,
position: “top_right”,
config: {
useWelcomeMessage: “brief today”
}
},

this simple config should work just for testing and making sure the module loads.
I ended up fixing mine by rolling back to grpc 1.2 and gcc7 then rebuilding the binaries. Took about an hour on my pi 2, but its up and running now.
