Black Screen after installing fonts-noto-color-emoji
-
@sdetweil I am running the 32 bit raspi os. I used the official raspberry pi imager to create it.
-
I think it’s a GPU issue. Could it have been a bad install of the os? Should I reinstall?
-
@aunrea I do not know
-
Ok I am going to try a new install on my raspberry pi 4, instead of the 3B I have been using.
-
@aunrea any luck resolving this issue?
I have a fresh install of MM on an RPI4 (Rasbian OS 32bit) and get the same problem when installing MMM-Face-Reco-DNN. Only errors I have in the logs are the same GPU related ones.And the strange thing is that I have the exact same setup on a different SD card done 6 weeks ago. And that works perfectly. It reporst my MM is outdated, but I don’t dare updating it now.
-
@arosenhave depends on which video driver is enabled in /boot/config.txt
edit the script which starts MM
and addexport ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1
before the
npm start
line -
@arosenhave if u want to upgrade, use my script
see
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scriptsand backup
-
@sdetweil This made no difference, I’m afraid :(
The strange thing is that for a split second I can see the other modules loading and displaying and then it all goes black. Like the MMM-Face-Reco-DNN somehow loads in front of everything. If I remove this module from config.js everything displays fine. I have checked the config.js for syntax errors and it reports nothing.
-
@arosenhave yes, reco hides everything til u identify thru the camera yourself
then it shows the modules marked as visible for your profile/module classes config
-
@arosenhave I would need to see the output of the npm start.
black screen is usually a module crash or missing dependencies
