      Hi!
      I’m very new to MM2 and had the MM2 running for 2-3 weeks without problems.
      But after the update to 2.11.0 the MM2 starts sometimes with black screen.
      Here ist the output of the logfiles:

      /home/pi/.pm2/logs/mm-out.log

      > magicmirror@2.11.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
      > DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

      When I try to start the MM2 2-3 times the black screen goes away and the MM2 is running normal.

      I don’t know much about npm so I’m totally lost.
      Maybe someone have an idea what I can try to solve this problem.

        @M_M said in Sometimes Black Screen after upgrade to 2.11.0:

        Failed to exec start script

        does it make a difference whether the pm2 start is done by boot or from a terminal window after logon

        did you use my automated installer?

        if so do this

        pm2 stop 0
        pm2 delete 0
        pm2 start ~/MagicMirror/installers/pm2_MagicMirror.json
        if doing this over ssh or vnc, skip next step 
            alt-spacebar, n to minimze MagicMirror to get back to terminal window
        pm2 save
        

        then redo your start testing

          Hi Sam!
          Thank you for your support!

          Unfortunately all my last tries were not successful.
          Even your upgrade scripts with apply and force…

          So I decided to start from scratch.
          I removed/purged nodejs completly from the system and installed all new.

          Now it is running as it should.

          Don’t know what it was and I hope that this will not come back by the next upgrade…
