@natebrown

looks like there are two problems

[2020-10-18 12:12:30.530] [ERROR] ERROR! Could not find main module js file for MMM-GoogleAssistant

MMM-GooogleAssistant.js is not in MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleAssistant folder

something wrong with your email module

@natebrown and this one:

[2020-10-18 12:12:43.003] [ERROR] (node:25630) [DEP0005] DeprecationWarning: Buffer() is deprecated due to security and usability issues. Please use the Buffer.alloc(), Buffer.allocUnsafe(), or Buffer.from() methods instead.

[sdetweil]

@natebrown said in NPM start, starts but with blank screen:

DeprecationWarning:

just a warning that some code (not ours) is using a library call that is going away sometime in the future

[natebrown]

@sdetweil Thanks, also when i start up my Pi, it shows the “Raspberry Pi OS” Screen and I want it to be just black and how do I speed up autostart (I use sh).

[sdetweil]

@natebrown if u had used the scripted install, it would have asked if u want to use the node process manager, pm to start at boot

u can add it, see command for fixuppm2 here

https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

speed up? no idea

[natebrown]

@sdetweil 1st: Do i execute it in the MagicMirror folder and once its installed what do I do? And will it effect anything on MagicMirror?

[sdetweil]

@natebrown the scripts don’t care, they adjust.

this script changes the installers/mm.sh
