Blackscreen after update to v.2.8.0

potts-mike

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

mumblebaj

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

potts-mike

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.

bhepler

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

potts-mike

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 :)
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $

@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.

potts-mike

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…”

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start dev

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?

@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

dazza120

@sdetweil ok interesting any idea why it kills it if you do that as it’s never before very strange thanks I’ll take a look at it

sdetweil

@dazza120 no idea… all this npm stuff is new to me and I don’t understand all the rules and issues

dazza120

@sdetweil 100% that man it doesn’t need npm install and is working :) thank you

sdetweil

@dazza120 thanks for the update!..

Same issue here.
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…

panos

@sdetweil still no luck…:(

sdetweil

ok, one more forceful try

from the MagicMirror folder do

rm -rf node_modules
npm install

panos

@sdetweil No man…:( still the same

panos

How to completely remove magicmirror in order to install it from scratch?

sdetweil

@panos rename the MagicMirror folder to MagicMirror-old

then run install again…

then u can copy modules, config file, … then when all is good,
rm -rf MagicMirror-old
