Blank Black screen after the last - 2.11 - update

kondef

I just unfortunately did the update of 2.11 backing up only the modules folder and config.cs file. Now with either npm start or npm run start, nothing happens. I have a black blank screen. I followed the instructions of MichMich with the commands git pull && npm install.How can i fix that problems guys? Please consider that i am not expert with programming so please explain in a simple way. My node versions is:10.19

@kondef what kind of pi?

u will also have to do npm install in any module folder that has a package.json file

I think my upgrade script will work, haven’t had a chance to try myself (trying to fix install)

I also had it with me, that’s because of the MMM-Pir-Sensor module. I deactivated it for now.

@sdetweil I have raspberry pi3 b+. I reinstalled npm for all modules that have json file but i am still getting the same problem!

sdetweil

@kondef r u using pm2 to start?

If so do

pm2 logs
ctrl-c to exit

Then npm start

Also may need to open developers window, ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard, select the console tab and scroll up to see any errors…

kondef

@sdetweil No i start manually npm start

sdetweil

@kondef so, you should open the dev window

kondef

@sdetweil You mean npm run start dev ? I am sorry i told you i am not expert. By pressing Control - Shift - i the only thing happens is a small window opens.

sdetweil

@kondef should be the right side of screen

npm start dev can do the same on startup

I am getting “DevTools was disconnected from the page. Once page is reloaded, DevTools will automatically reconnect” and the page now is white blank and thre is nothing on the dev console.
But i managed to take a photo while magic mirror was loading and i got the following: "MODULE NOT FOUND. Require Stack /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword/snowboy/lib/node/index.js
/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword/node_helper.js
/home/pi/MagicMirror/js/app.js
/home/pi/MagicMirror/js/electron.js
/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/resources/default_app.

Please note that i already did npm install on Hotword module

sdetweil

@kondef yeh, hotword needs an electron-rebuild I think

kondef

@sdetweil How? I tried to update snowboy but i am getting an error.

sdetweil

@kondef I don’t know right now. Be a few hours til I have time to test myself

sdetweil

@kondef the doc for hotword install says
if troubles do

git clone https://github.com/Kitt-AI/snowboy.git
cd snowboy
rm -rf .git
cp -r resources/models ..
npm install -y nan node-pre-gyp
./node_modules/node-pre-gyp/bin/node-pre-gyp clean configure build
npm install -y
npm install -y electron-rebuild
./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

@kondef you can see my topic where @sdetweil helped me to solve issues.

At this time, my mirror works again, excepted the Remote-Control module.
Don’t worry, your mirror will come back well soon also for you ;-)

kondef

@mattx38 @sdetweil thank you so much guys for your immediate response. I actually deleted the hotword folder and reinstall again and now works fine. Now i am searching for a calendar that i can add multiple ones and to have a fancy -but not taking much space- look. Any ideas?

Did anyone solve the issue?

sdetweil

@rcikahskd which issue?
