      @sdetweil said in Losing display output after 5 minutes:

      grep module: ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js

      Here are the modules that I have been using for the past 6 months before the issues started. I have not added/removed any modules after this setup, only updates.

        module: "alert",
        module: 'MMM-BackgroundSlideshow',
        module: "updatenotification",
        module: "clock",
        module: 'MMM-CalendarExt2',
        module: "MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast",

        @danjvd weird.

        so next I would disable one module at a time.
        (not the defaults)

        add

        disabled:true,
        

        after the module: line

          Before I was able to start disabling modules, MM would not start this morning. There are the logs that I got from pm2:

            Give you a little update after finding the error above. I have reinstalled dependency and built electron.

            cd ~/MagicMirror
            npm install
            cd ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/
            node install.js
            

            The reinstall came with the following warnings

            npm WARN tsutils@3.21.0 requires a peer of typescript@>=2.8.0 || >= 3.2.0-dev || >= 3.3.0-dev || >= 3.4.0-dev || >= 3.5.0-dev || >= 3.6.0-dev || >= 3.6.0-beta || >= 3.7.0-dev || >= 3.7.0-beta but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.
            npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents@2.3.2 (node_modules/fsevents):
            npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for fsevents@2.3.2: wanted {"os":"darwin","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"linux","arch":"arm"})
            

            I restarted MM with npm start, now getting the following:

            [24.11.2021 17:34.23.187] [ERROR] WARNING! Could not load config file. Starting with default configuration. Error found: Error: Cannot find module 'valid-url'
            Require stack:
            - /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarExt2/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.asar/main.js
            

            I disable that mode and was able to get MM restarted. I’m guessing there is an issue with MMM-CalendarExt2.
