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

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

[CyruS1337]

But do not I have to enter the IP to run the Remte Module or the MMM NetworkScanner?

I still have another problem :) I do not know if I would like to open a new topic or if I can place it here.

It’s about the module email-mirror, it always shows only “load”, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong

@cyrus1337 said in Black screen after starting:

But do not I have to enter the IP to run the Remte Module or the MMM NetworkScanner?

The “listening” address in the config does not affect the behaviour of the other modules. It does not determine the IP of your mirror!
The other modules get the mirror’s IP from somewhere else, don’t worry.
The address e’re talking about here is there to determine on which network device to listen (if I understand correctly!).
0.0.0.0 specifies “use them all”
You won’t do any harm using that.

[CyruS1337]

Ok thank you. Then I will use 0.0.0.0

Thanks again for your help !!! That’s really great
