Black screen after 2.13 update - tentatively resolved

sdetweil · Oct 2, 2020, 12:19 PM

@Klinge black screen

look in two places,
the window where you start mm,
using npm start
or
pm2
if pm2 use the command
pm2 logs --lines=???
??? is a number, default is 15

also look in the developers window
ctrl-shift-i and select the console tab and scroll up to see any errors

@m0bed did u run npm install in all the module folders which have a package.json file?

next time, use my upgrade script

When I run the pm2 logs, I got the following logs

@Klinge looks like u did not run
npm install
after the git pull

darksky looks like it will need one too

or use the upgrade script with force at the end, instead of apply
see here

Sam,

Used your scrips on 3 updates with no issue except for one install. Getting black screen and ran the logs showing calendar error?

@swvalenti hm… connection timeout

it should handle that for sure.
I will look at the code in a while

that url worked here just now

swvalenti · Oct 2, 2020, 1:04 PM

Hmm weird, two other updates went fine and this one only has the error shown giving black screen. Ran script again too and didn’t do anything. Restarted pi and nothing still error and black screen.

sdetweil · Oct 2, 2020, 1:08 PM

@swvalenti that calendar problem is from Sept 29. so not relevant now

can u open the dev window, see the instructions a few messages back

Klinge · Oct 2, 2020, 1:57 PM

@sdetweil you are right. After an npm install it works. But I don´t understand it. Because, I run an update script with git pull && npm install in the MagicMirror Folder.

Whtatever, after the npm install it works. Is it running now because the electron was rebuilt?

Thank you for your help.

sdetweil · Oct 2, 2020, 2:01 PM

@Klinge said in Black screen after 2.13 update - tentatively resolved:

after the npm install it works

where did u run this npm install?

that command stinks,

git pull && npm install

if git pull returns non-0, then the npm install will not be executed

"&&" is used to chain commands together, such that the next command is run if and only if the preceding command exited without errors

use my script!..
