      @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

          When I run the pm2 logs, I got the following logs

            @Klinge looks like u did not run
            npm install
            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?

                  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!..
