Black screen after starting

[CyruS1337]

Hello everybody

When I start the PI I see the desktop and after 2-3 seconds later the MagicMirror starts. The screen just stays black. The MaigcMirror has worked for 2 months without any problems, that problem is only 2 days.
I can also post logs here if you tell me which logs are relevant. I can access the PI via putty.

Thank you very much for your help

@cyrus1337 - Let’s start with the mirror logs. Try pm2 log MagicMirror and let us know what it shows.

Ok, thanks for the help. I will post the logs in the evening

Also, it’s always important to check the config file. Do a

npm run config:check

inside the MagicMirror folder.
And then, I would always test to just restart it, last time I had the problem it was magically solved by this

pm2 restart mm

[CyruS1337]

@lavolp3 Ok, I will try tonight. Thank you and then give feedback

[CyruS1337]

So, when I run npm run this comes:

> magicmirror@2.5.0 config:check /home/pi/MagicMirror
> node tests/configs/check_config.js

Checking file...  /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js
Your configuration file doesn't contain syntax errors :)

Here is the pm2 log:

EADDRNOTAVAIL

says that the mm config is trying to listen on a specific address, which is NOT the same as on the machine MM is running on…

show us your config.js

Here is my config

aaaaaaaaaaaaaa I found it, thanks to your note.

My router has given the PI a new IP, now I have changed the new IP in the config and behold, he works again !!!

Thank you so much @sdetweil

[sdetweil]

@cyrus1337 better to use 0.0.0.0, which means any …

Then it won’t fail again if the address changes
