      I just updated my MagicMirror, and I now get a blank screen. There is only one instance running, and when I stop and start the process through pm2, I get the desktop and the blank screen again, respectively.

      I used:

      git pull

      and received a message about package-lock.json needing to be stashed. I backed it up, then used:

      git reset --hard
      git pull
      npm install

      Immediately upon reboot, I received a blank screen. I also copied package-lock.bak to package-lock.json, and I still get the blank screen. I’m running both pihole and MagicMirror. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

        UPDATE: It’s the PIR-Sensor Module which isn’t working. When I delete it from the config file, everything works great. When I add it back, the screen is completely blank. It’s the same config that was working before the update.

          Mine also not working on RPi3, and removing the exact same plugin does not remedy the situation. Sample config does make it behave, but it seems like there might be another plugin issue?

          I’m running (or used to run)

          Remote Control
          DarkSky Forecast
          Network Scanner
          Volumio Playing
          Roomba
          Notification Trigger
          Hotword
          Assistant Mk2
          Buttons
          and PIR sensor.

          I upgraded because Electron was leaking or whatever it does to slow to a crawl, and slushing back to a previous Electron had not fixed the problem. Too tired to try them all one at a time right now, but I guess I’ll go to it tomorrow.

              use ctrl-shift-i to open the developers window and select the console tab, scroll around to see any errors, (red text)

              also, if you updated, u generally need to re-run npm install in every module that has a package,json file.
              The Hotword and Assistant will need electron-rebuild more than likely

                  @ines ok, we need to see the error… open the developers window

                  how do you start MM, with PM2, or something else…

                  the pm2.log might help too if used

                      @ines ok, you need to follow the instructions in hotword for the electron-rebuild

                      But maybe in kiosk mode, you may meet some error like this;
                      
                      Error: Cannot find module '/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword/node_modules/snowboy/lib/node/binding/Release/electron-v2.0-linux-arm/snowboy.node'
                      In that case, you need to rebuild some binaries to match with Electron version.
                      
                      cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword/node_modules/snowboy
                      npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild
                      npm install nan
                      ./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild   # It could takes dozens sec.
