Blank screen after updating tonight...

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

[ines]

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

[ines]

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.

[sdetweil]

note that you will have the same problem in Assistant too

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.

@sdetweil Thanks for these leads! Now that you mention it, why would I not need to do this… I’ll let you know how it goes…

[nakedrabbit]

@sdetweil LIKE A CHARM. All is well with Assistant and Hotword, just as you describe. MMM-Buttons also required and npm install, as well as MMM-PIR-Sensor. So, basically, maintenance on all the plugins.

git stash

Thanks for your quick reply and your tipp that worked for me.
After git stash I updated MM to 2.7.1 and then I cd 'ed into every installed module and did npm install.

Excuse my bad English and sorry to bug you and thanks again fpr your time!
