Black Screen

[sdetweil]

@massivearts-0 open a terminal window onto the pi

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm run check:config

but as I said on discord
we need to see the messages that are output when u start MagicMirror

you either do
npm start
or pm2 start

if pm2 then the command to display the logs is
pm2 logs --lines=100

the black screen is probably a missing dependency module, and the messages will tell us which one

Maybe position: ‘position’, is your problem add a location on mirror like “top_left”

[sdetweil]

@djboob66 yes, he had “top_Bar” before, but that is not the black screen

maybe no content displayed as mm can’t figure out where to put it

system is case sensitive

[sdetweil]

the module he added didn’t document needing request

[DJBOOB66]

You did do
cd git clone https://github.com/amcolash/MMM-GoogleFit.git
cd MMM-GoogleFit
npm install
???

[sdetweil]

@djboob66 yes he did. but the module uses the request library without documenting it in the package.json

and request was removed from the MagicMirror package in 2.15.

@sdetweil how dare they remove libraries in the main program they don’t use anymore! 🤣🤣

[sdetweil]

@bkeyport and forced to stop using!!

Many sub library use again it, it’s very very long to depreciate a library ;)
