Blank screen after updating tonight...

[sdetweil]

use ctrl-shift-i to open the developers window and select the console tab, scroll around to see any errors, (red text)

also, if you updated, u generally need to re-run npm install in every module that has a package,json file.
The Hotword and Assistant will need electron-rebuild more than likely

thank you , i make the npm install in every module with package.json but he doesn’t work

[sdetweil]

@ines ok, we need to see the error… open the developers window

how do you start MM, with PM2, or something else…

the pm2.log might help too if used

WARNING! Could not load config file. Starting with default configuration. Error found: Error: Cannot find module ‘/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword/node_modules/snowboy/lib/node/binding/Release/electron-v3.0-linux-arm/snowboy.node’

this the error that i ve faced after the new update

[sdetweil]

@ines ok, you need to follow the instructions in hotword for the electron-rebuild

But maybe in kiosk mode, you may meet some error like this;

Error: Cannot find module '/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword/node_modules/snowboy/lib/node/binding/Release/electron-v2.0-linux-arm/snowboy.node'
In that case, you need to rebuild some binaries to match with Electron version.

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword/node_modules/snowboy
npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild
npm install nan
./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild   # It could takes dozens sec.

note that you will have the same problem in Assistant too

@sdetweil said in Blank screen after updating tonight...:

@sdetweil

Sorry, I am a beginner from Germany. Maybe you can help.

It won’t let me update because of this message:
“Ihre lokalen Änderungen in den folgenden Dateien würden durch den Merge überschrieben werden”
which translates to:
“Your local changes in the following files would be overwritten by the merge”
and then it lists like 5 or 6 package.json files. What can I do?

Danke/Thanks!

[sdetweil]

@thedoorsfanatic you can pout those changes away temporarily with

git stash

after installing, if u want those back,

git stash pop

I got it working by removing MMM-PIR-Sensor and reinstalling it. Simply updating it did not work.
