Magic mirror not starting

[sdetweil]

@zolabus need to see the messages from start

[zolabus]

@sdetweil I do not have any messages…only a white flash then blank monitor

[sdetweil]

@zolabus on the pi you issue

npm start
or pm2 start MagicMirror

that is where u look for messages,
not on the mirror screen

you should see stuff like

~/MagicMirror$ npm start 

> magicmirror@2.17.1 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
> DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

@sdetweil

in this case I don’t think it is the problem you mentioned with the link.

digest-fetch is a core dependency, so he may forgot to run npm install in the mm folder. Or if it’s an old installation which is suddenly not working anymore this is may caused by a corrupt SD Card.

[sdetweil]

@karsten13 ok, got it… I agree…

[zolabus]

@sdetweil run npm install with this output
