    My MagicMirror was working, when i rebooted my machine, it stopped working.

    Now the title shows [Electron]

    And the program is Pitch Black.

    So what now?

    I tried updating my MagicMirror.
    But it did not do much.

    I resseted my config. But it did not change anything.

        @sdetweil probably node_helper missing

        Do

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