Read the statement by Michael Teeuw here.
After 2.8 I'm having tons of issues. What are the steps from square 1 to get this working?
-
@sdetweil I was able to start up he mirror by doing
cd ~ /MagicMirror npm start
The mirror started up like usual but it didn’t restart after I exited out of it.
-
@Gomalley ok, now try
pm2 list
If something is there, try
pm2 start ???
Where name is whatever was shown
If nothing, use my new script, see link in troubleshooting section
-
pm2 list
gave me error messages so I ran the updated script and keeps coming up with an error for shelljs

I’ve run into this “cannot find shelljs” error before

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

I also get the black screen when I start with ‘pm2 MagicMirror’ which was created by @sdetweil script and starting with my original command ‘pm2 start mm’.
Looks really screwed up and since I have to admit that I am a noob I am lost.
Any suggestions? Best, Max
-
weird…
node_helper is a special module provided by MM and part of the install package
can u do
ls ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/node_helper/
it should display 1 file, index.js
did u remove the node_modules folder?
ps. I did that once, and had the same problem!try this
cd ~/MagicMirror git checkout -- node_modules/node_helper/index.js
then try restarting MagicMirror

Hi, thank you for your advise.
ls ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/node_helper/
shows me
ls: Zugriff auf ‘/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/node_helper/’ nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
File or folder not foundgit checkout -- node_modules/node_helper/index.js
results in
error: pathspec ‘node_modules/node_helper/index.js’ did not match any file(s) known to git.
