      Thanks.

      I have only npm install at Magicmirror not for the modules.

      Now it was running fine.

          I am having the same issue but doing npm install in all of the modules folders doesn’t resolve it. Any other thoughts?

            @potts-mike Are there any issues in your config.js? Can you run npm run config:check and see if there are errors?

            Check out my modules at: https://github.com/mumblebaj?tab=repositories
            Check my blog-post: https://mumblebaj.xyz/

              I can, should I run that from the config file?

              I will say though that it worked before the upgrade and I tried the config.js.sample file and it didnt work.

                @potts-mike - Run it from the command line in the /home/pi/MagicMirror folder.

                  THe config file does not contain syntax errors.

                  pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm run config:check
                  
                  > magicmirror@2.8.0 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 :)

                    @potts-mike ok, then do

                    npm start dev
                    

                    Or

                    Ctrl-shift-i   if already running
                    

                    And in the developers window, select the console tab, and scroll up to find any errors. Red text usually.

                      I know that the last thing it says it is launching the app but a white screen with the developer console opens with the error “Dev tools was disconnected from the page…”

                      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
                      Launching application.

                        @potts-mike i get the same with the pi4, the npm installs on some modules are killing the mirror. i think its safe to link all of these threads into one, ive put out a request for the dev of one module, i have no idea if any other module that i will put on the mirror will do the same i can only take it one step at a time, the affected module is mmm-nest-status.

                          @dazza120 mmm-nest-status does not have a package.json file,
                          so you should NOT do an npm install in that modules folder

                                    Black screen after updating to v2.8. Any suggestions?

                                      @panos after you did the git clone, you have to run

                                      npm install
                                      

                                      in the MagicMirror folder
                                      and then

                                      npm install
                                      

                                      in each module folder that has a package.json file…
