After 2.8 I'm having tons of issues. What are the steps from square 1 to get this working?

What should I do next?, Try to start the mirror?
-
@Gomalley yes, start it up
-
@sdetweil I was able to start up he mirror by doing
cd ~ /MagicMirror npm startThe mirror started up like usual but it didn’t restart after I exited out of it.
-
@Gomalley ok, now try
pm2 listIf something is there, try
pm2 start ???Where name is whatever was shown
If nothing, use my new script, see link in troubleshooting section
-
pm2 listgave me error messages so I ran the updated script and keeps coming up with an error for shelljs

@sdetweil
Is it possibly the version of raspbian that is messing this up because it use to work before they released the latest version of raspbian and before MM 2.8 as well. -
@Gomalley pm2 needs to be reinstalled, cause the npm version changed.
lets try my new pm2 fixup script…
bash -c "$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/cy2z7lbkpifcbrk/fixuppm2.sh?dl=0)"I’ve added your problems to the list it handles

@sdetweil
Thank you! The mirror now autostarts!
So all this time I was doing it on a Lexar micro sd card. It actually froze on the startup page so I threw in a 16gb Ultra sandisk amd started the process all over.
Heres the steps that I followed:pm2 logsnpm i -g npmcd ~ sudo chown -R pi .pm2 logsnpm i -g npmsudo npm i -g npmcd ~/MagicMirror npm installpm2 listbash -c "$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/cy2z7lbkpifcbrk/fixuppm2.sh?dl=0)"Thank you again for your help!

@Gomalley glad that it’s working.
My new installer might have avoided all the rework after git clone -
Hi,
I am having the exact same problem: Black screen after 2.8 update. I followed all the suggestions you two came up with but my screen remains black.
This is what I get after npm start:

Looks really screwed up and since I have to admit that I am a noob I am lost.
Any suggestions? Best, Max
