Black Screen on start up on Windows
-
I get this screen again on both PC’s I have tried to install on.
Once before I had this problem the fix was to delete
Problem is now I can’t seem to find the correct place where this instruction is
Below is the message I get.
C:\Users\Dell Server>cd MagicMirror
C:\Users\Dell Server\MagicMirror>npm start
magicmirror@2.11.0 start C:\Users\Dell Server\MagicMirror

Finally found it
It resides in package.json
DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}Deleted the above
" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js"
and it works
