Re: Black Screen Of Death After Couple of Hours

I have the same problem. I do get a black screen of death after a couple of hours of flawlessly running the mm.
The logs show the following errors:

Any suggestions?

I think it might be in correlation with 2.18.0 of mm or with updating the containers with watchtower?!

I think the client crashes when you update the container image because updating the container means it will be restarted.

just a way to test in the short term… if it stays running or not

if you use chromium u can get the command line from my run-start.sh script I use when electron is not available.

Well by default the pi bootens up and MagicMirror shows in full screen mode until the screen goes black again after a couple of hours.
But I havent started a browser in full screen mode manually yet.

I am running the client on a Raspberry Pi. There I do get the electron errors and the screen goes black.
I think it might be in correlation with 2.18.0 of mm or with updating the containers with watchtower?!

now I’m totally lost. He is running mm server only on his synology and he postet client errors related to electron …

then it’s no server problem, no idea why the client crashes. Is this new with mm version v2.18.0 (because it contains new electron version)?

docker ps

the status says “Up 3 days”. This is due to Watchtower I think as the container got updated.
When this happens and the screen gets black, I do restart the client which continues to produce black screens.

Here is the output of

docker logs magicmirror

I can only find one starting sequence.

so here the client is crashing.

But may because the server crashed, can you take a look at docker ps on the synology if in the status columm is something like restarted. And may examine the logs with docker logs mm if you find the starting sequence Starting MagicMirror: v2.18.0 more than once?

The docker setup has restart: unless-stopped (if not changed by the user) so the container will restart automatically after a crash.

what is your setup (e.g. pi version, os version (buster), docker)?

which modules are running?
