After 2.8 I'm having tons of issues. What are the steps from square 1 to get this working?

@Gomalley only

What should I do next?, Try to start the mirror?
-
@Gomalley yes, start it up
-
@sdetweil I was able to start up he mirror by doing
cd ~ /MagicMirror npm startThe mirror started up like usual but it didn’t restart after I exited out of it.
-
@Gomalley ok, now try
pm2 listIf something is there, try
pm2 start ???Where name is whatever was shown
If nothing, use my new script, see link in troubleshooting section
-
pm2 listgave me error messages so I ran the updated script and keeps coming up with an error for shelljs

@sdetweil
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 "$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/cy2z7lbkpifcbrk/fixuppm2.sh?dl=0)"I’ve added your problems to the list it handles
-
@sdetweil
Thank you! The mirror now autostarts!
So all this time I was doing it on a Lexar micro sd card. It actually froze on the startup page so I threw in a 16gb Ultra sandisk amd started the process all over.
Heres the steps that I followed:pm2 logsnpm i -g npmcd ~ sudo chown -R pi .pm2 logsnpm i -g npmsudo npm i -g npmcd ~/MagicMirror npm installpm2 listbash -c "$(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:

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.jsthen 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 foundgit checkout -- node_modules/node_helper/index.jsresults 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.jsIf that fails, try
git statusThen 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:

@maxheartrate no. No npm install in the node_modules folder. That messes everything up.
Do
cd ~/MagicMirror rm -rf node_modules cp -R -p ???/node_modules ~/MagicMirrorWhere ??? Is your recently cloned download.
Then in the MagicMirror folder do
npm installIF u had other modules installed, beyond the initial set, then look thru their folders and see if there is a package.json file present. If so, in each such module folder do a
npm installthere
I made a new script to do all this upgrade stuff, but I don’t know what will happen if the git pull is already done.
See my upgrade topic in the troubleshooting section -
Hi @sdetweil, thanks for joining in and for your advise.
I followed your steps just as described. The node_helper was the only module in the newly cloned node_modules folder. I then ran npm install and an npm install in every modules folder with a package.json file.
After that I ran into the missing node_helper error again. Obviously the folder was deleted when I ran the npm install in the MagicMirror folder. Now I copied the node_helper folder from the newly cloned version again and I am back at the error I sent in my previous post. :dizzy_face:
-
Obviously the folder was deleted when I ran the npm install in the MagicMirror folderNo it won’t be deleted.
Let’s start from scratch. U have the extra downloaded copy. Make THAT NAME MagicMirror, and npm install in that folder.
Start mm and we should be running.
Then we will copy over your extra modules, and config file
And work from there -
Alright. Now I have something else but a black screen for the first time in days:
“Magic Mirror - please create a config file”
What do you suggest now?
