@carlywarly cool, glad its working… but… sure would have been nice to see the error messages… shouldn’t black screen for a network problem…

but that usually means a module didn’t handle network failure and crashed and UI died

@carlywarly thank you for your help. I tried all of the mentions commands bot still having a black screen.

on "pm2 logs --lines=100 i get this error message.

Also after running “npm install” I get this messages:

After a reboot the desktop starts, also some programm starts turning screen first white for 2 seconds then it turns black.

What can I do?

@m0bed So, I changed my config found out that this modules dont work at the moment:
MMM-Homematic-Heaters
MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor
On the callmonitor I tried this help topic, but not working.
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues/2144

After deleting this two moduls form the config, every thing works fine, but still getting the messages from npm install.

Found one more in module MMM-Vasttrafik-PublicTransport. I have created an issue for that:

Found one more module too. In my case a black screen appears through the standard calendar module.

my config is

                {
                        module: "calendar",
                        header: "Termine",
                        position: "top_left",
                        config: {
                                timeFormat: 'absolute',
                                maximumEntries: 10,
                                dateFormat: 'ddd DD MMM HH:mm',
                                fullDayEventDateFormat: 'ddd DD MMM',
                                showEnd: false,
                                urgency: 0,
                                getRelative: 0,
                                calendars: [
                                        {
                                                symbol: "calendar-check",
                                                url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/XXXXXXXXXXXXX/basic.ics"
                                        },
                                        {
                                                url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/XXXXXXXXXXX/basic.ics"
                                        }
                                ]
                        }
                },

How can I create an issue for that?

Or is there a problem in my config?

@Klinge black screen

look in two places,
the window where you start mm,
using npm start
or
pm2
if pm2 use the command
pm2 logs --lines=???
??? is a number, default is 15

also look in the developers window
ctrl-shift-i and select the console tab and scroll up to see any errors

@m0bed did u run npm install in all the module folders which have a package.json file?

next time, use my upgrade script
