dazza120

I have no clue what happened to this during the git pull all i get is a black screen i really don’t want to install everything from scratch it was working good before apart from the electron memory leak, i take it that electron was autoMagically installed with the latest MM version. Help Please, see log

@sdetweil hi thanks but when I do that I’m greated with a white screen that says the dev screen has disconnected and would reload, the pi is just totally locked after that, only powering it down would can get it back to where I can use terminal again

@dazza120 ok, after the git pull, u have to do npm install again in the mm folder

Mm is short for MagicMirror

dazza120

@sdetweil done that some folders didn’t like that though kept coming up with errors, think I’m going to have to reinstall it from scratch

@dazza120 slow down

What errors. Let’s work thru ut

@sdetweil hi mate im getting this from MMM-pages

hue-lights doesn’t have a package.json, so no npm install there

npm WARN MMM-pages No repository field.
npm WARN MMM-pages No license field.

package.json doesn’t have some typically useful fields… no problems

so, one thing to try also is

npm start &

which will start MM AND give u back the terminal window…

I get lots of messages as things start up there…

@sdetweil this is what i get

npm start &
