MMM-Sunrise-Sunset

siggmur

Late to the game, but I also am getting black screen after installing the module and adding it to my config. Ill try to give you the steps:

Did the git pull. Went into the folder, npm install.

Added this to my config:

{          
module: 'MMM-Sunrise-Sunset', 
position: "bottom_center",
config: {
latitude: "69.13",
longitude: "18.59",
apiKey: "myAPI",
layout: "inline",
  }
},

I also tried @sdetweil post, without any difference. I find the files as listed, did pm2 restart mm without any help.

Ideas?

sdetweil

@siggmur latitude and longitude are numbers, remove the quotes.

general rule, for values to the right of :

number or true/false - not quoted
all else, quoted, doesn’t matter which one, just matching.
also, lat/long usually are 6 digits
xx.yyyy

Thanks for the quick reply, I forgot the quotation marks, but it should throw a config error, not a black screen like I am getting?

sdetweil

@siggmur black screen usually means missing library file.
look at the startup.messages

either
pm2 logs --lines=100
or the terminal window where do
npm start

@sdetweil ah, now we might be cooking. I find to suspected issues, but I am a bit to noobish to understand:

[2020-08-01 01:35:48.402] [LOG] No helper found for module: MMM-Sunrise-Sunset.

and:

Fontconfig warning: “/etc/fonts/fonts.conf”, line 100: unknown element “blank”

Any idea what it could be?

sdetweil

@siggmur eaddr in use means something is still using that port 8080,

pm2’s job is to start at boot, so you can have more than one running

keep stopping

check w
ps -ef | grep node |grep -v grep

kill things til u get none.

then

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start
