Magic mirror is not showing up

sdetweil

@CoopDog1712 no… not in clock module… we ship that

what was the black screen failure message from the console output?

you read the messages and get the name of the missing library, and replace the ??? with that name

the reason YOU have to read the messages is because there are multiple libraries missing…
you only need to fix the ones that impact the modules you installed

@sdetweil i dont think i saw one. i never installed any modulles, even the ones that should come with it are not showing up

sdetweil

@CoopDog1712 ok, still show the messages where u start mm

either via
npm start
or
pm2

if pm2., then
pm2 logs --lines=50

will show the console output

what pi is this?

CoopDog1712

@sdetweil pi 4

@sdetweil

sdetweil

@CoopDog1712 ah yes, fun times…

do

pm2 stop all 
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install electron@17.2.0
npm start

mm should come up

minimize mm (alt-spacebar, n)

ctrl-c to stop running instance

then

pm2 status

this will show the status or pm2 managed apps.

use the name or the row number

pm2 start xxx

xxx is the name or the row number
for example

pm2 start 0

@sdetweil after i installed electron@17.2.0 then started it, this came up

then i did start pm2 start 4, and it started, but was still a blank screen

sdetweil

@CoopDog1712 says something is still running…

you didn’t do pm2 stop all

after doing test

ps -ef | grep -i magicmirror

should return nothing

CoopDog1712

@sdetweil whoops…
ok is did pm2 stop all and then entered that line of code you gave me and got this

sdetweil

@CoopDog1712

ok do

we will delete 1 entry so you don’t have 2 trying to run at the same time
and then reboot

pm2 delete  1
pm2 save
sudo reboot
