MMM-Sunrise-Sunset

siggmur

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?

@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

siggmur

@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
