      Is it possibly the version of raspbian that is messing this up because it use to work before they released the latest version of raspbian and before MM 2.8 as well.

        @Gomalley pm2 needs to be reinstalled, cause the npm version changed.

        lets try my new pm2 fixup script…

        bash -c "$(curl -sL  https://www.dropbox.com/s/cy2z7lbkpifcbrk/fixuppm2.sh?dl=0)"
        

        I’ve added your problems to the list it handles

          Thank you! The mirror now autostarts!
          So all this time I was doing it on a Lexar micro sd card. It actually froze on the startup page so I threw in a 16gb Ultra sandisk amd started the process all over.
          Heres the steps that I followed:

          pm2 logs
          
          npm i -g npm
          
          cd ~
          sudo chown -R pi .
          
          pm2 logs
          
          npm i -g npm
          
          sudo npm i -g npm
          
          cd ~/MagicMirror
          npm install
          
          pm2 list
          
          bash -c "$(curl -sL  https://www.dropbox.com/s/cy2z7lbkpifcbrk/fixuppm2.sh?dl=0)"
          

          Thank you again for your help!

            @Gomalley glad that it’s working.
            My new installer might have avoided all the rework after git clone

              Hi,

              I am having the exact same problem: Black screen after 2.8 update. I followed all the suggestions you two came up with but my screen remains black.

              This is what I get after npm start:

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

              I also get the black screen when I start with ‘pm2 MagicMirror’ which was created by @sdetweil script and starting with my original command ‘pm2 start mm’.

              Looks really screwed up and since I have to admit that I am a noob I am lost.

              Any suggestions? Best, Max

                weird…

                node_helper is a special module provided by MM and part of the install package

                can u do

                 ls ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/node_helper/
                

                it should display 1 file, index.js

                did u remove the node_modules folder?
                ps. I did that once, and had the same problem!

                try this

                cd ~/MagicMirror
                git checkout -- node_modules/node_helper/index.js
                

                then try restarting MagicMirror

                  Hi, thank you for your advise.

                   ls ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/node_helper/
                  

                  shows me

                  ls: Zugriff auf ‘/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/node_helper/’ nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
                  File or folder not found

                  git checkout -- node_modules/node_helper/index.js
                  

                  results in

                  error: pathspec ‘node_modules/node_helper/index.js’ did not match any file(s) known to git.

                    @maxheartrate ok. I am away from my system now for a couple days.

                    Try

                    git checkout -- node_helper/index.js
                    

                    If that fails, try

                    git status
                    

                    Then rename your MagicMirror folder to something else, clone it again, and copy the node_modules/node_helper folder to your previous installation, and rename the new one, then the old one back

                      Your two suggestions did not work. That is why I followed step 3: cloning MM again and copying node_helper to node_modules.

                      I ran npm install in node_modules and in the MagicMirror directory.

                      Now it looks like I got one error further … :flushed_face:

                      This is what I get now:

                      > sh run-start.sh

                      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.
