Magic Mirror Black Screen after "pm2 start mm"

Parity · Aug 24, 2019, 7:28 PM

So I’m assuming from my own readings, it would appear that the Pi is expecting Electron-v3.1-linux-arm-glibc but that is not found. I tried rebuilding my /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-AssistantMk2/node_modules directory but ended up accidentally deleting it.

So now the same applies, it’s expecting Electron-v3.1-linux-arm-glibc, however it finds “[node-v64-linux-arm-glibc]”. I tried npm rebuild, but no avail. I’m assuming all I need to do is rebuild that node_modules directory and get it to Electron-v3.1-linx-arm-glibc?

Here is the below “pm2 logs” with the latest error:

See the instructions in the MMM-AssistantMk2 module readme.md on how to fix the gprc issue

@sdetweil

I’m assuming this is what you’re referring to?

"grpc Electron-rebuild or Raspbian Buster issues. (on Raspbian Buster) Downgrade your gcc to gcc7. (default of Buster would be gcc8)

sudo apt-get install gcc-7
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-7 10
sudo update-alternatives --config gcc

Then select gcc-7

Then try electron-rebuild again."

Just for confirmation - would this rebuild my node_modules directory? The most recent log I posted shows I don’t even have any electron version. I will attempt this later tonight.

As a side question - if I delete my Mmm-assistantmk2 module and rebuild it from scratch, would that affect the configurations of my mirror at all? Correct me if I’m wrong, but couldn’t I just reinstall this module since the config.js just references this module?

@Parity no, but u will end up at the same recovery steps

Parity · Aug 24, 2019, 8:37 PM

@sdetweil okay thanks. So just try what I posted above and it will automatically rebuild electron in the process? If not, just do Mmm-assistantmk2 from scratch?

Had the same problem, change directory to MagicMirror and execute npm start. Hope it help
