        @sdetweil said in Black screen after 2.13 update:

        history of commands…

        525 cd ./MagicMirror
        526 git pull
        527 sudo reboot

        << black screen >>

        528 sudo apt update
        529 sudo apt upgrade
        530 sudo reboot
        531 cd /MagicMirror
        532 cd node_modules/
        533 ls
        534 sudo rm -r electron
        535 cd …
        536 npm install
        537 pm2 logs --lines=100
        540 sudo reboot

        << black screen >>

        541 ifconfig
        542 sudo reboot
        543 history

        Working again…??? I think it my pi possibly had a problem talking to the internet… maybe the reboot gods strike again???

          @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 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

                          after the git pull

                          darksky looks like it will need one too

                          or use the upgrade script with force at the end, instead of apply

                            Used your scrips on 3 updates with no issue except for one install. Getting black screen and ran the logs showing calendar error?

                              @swvalenti hm… connection timeout

                              it should handle that for sure.
                              I will look at the code in a while

                              that url worked here just now

                                Hmm weird, two other updates went fine and this one only has the error shown giving black screen. Ran script again too and didn’t do anything. Restarted pi and nothing still error and black screen.

                                    @sdetweil you are right. After an npm install it works. But I don´t understand it. Because, I run an update script with git pull && npm install in the MagicMirror Folder.

                                    Whtatever, after the npm install it works. Is it running now because the electron was rebuilt?

                                    Thank you for your help.

                                      after the npm install it works

                                      where did u run this npm install?

                                      that command stinks,

                                      git pull && npm install

                                      if git pull returns non-0, then the npm install will not be executed

                                      "&&" is used to chain commands together, such that the next command is run if and only if the preceding command exited without errors

                                      use my script!..
