v2.18.0 update gave black screen, then nothing.

sdetweil

@richard238 ok, lets start back somewhere

save your config.js

copy the sample back to config.js

and start

this should work …

sdetweil

@richard238 i copied your config above to my system
and it starts ok…

my node/npm are

node -v
v16.1.0
npm -v
7.24.2

so, lets try that , we will use the node version of node version manager (nvm) called n

# install n globally
npm i n -g 
# install node version 16.1.0
n i 16.1.0
# use the setup path from node version install
PATH="$PATH"
# verify node and npm versions
node -v
npm -v

Richard238

@sdetweil

run those from
pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $

or

pi@magicmirror:~ $

Or, does it not matter?

sdetweil

@richard238 does not matter

not MM specific

sdetweil

@richard238 did u try the initial config.js

Richard238

@sdetweil

No, took me a while to restore one back from archive, but it’s there now, ready to go.

My versions:

NPM is different to yours, but OK to try?

@richard238 said in v2.18.0 update gave black screen, then nothing.:

@sdetweil
No, took me a while to restore one back from archive, but it’s there now, ready to go.

in the config folder is the config.js.sample file which is what I wanted you to use
just to eliminate other things,

but

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

may have to clean and nom install again as node version changed…

Richard238

@sdetweil

It’s still throwing the log.log error!

@richard238 ok, fun times…

so, do

cd ~
mv MagicMirror MagicMirror.save
git clone  https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git
cd MagicMirror
npm install --only=prod
cd config
cp config.js.sample config.js
cd ..

then npm start

Richard238

@sdetweil

Clean install - works perfectly! :)

pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ cd config
pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror/config $ cp config.js.sample config.js
pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror/config $ cd ..
pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ npm start
