MMM-MQTT = Blank Screen

vinnie1 · Feb 2, 2023, 4:25 AM

I hope someone can help, or give me pointers on what to do next, other than to give up.

What I am trying to do is use mqtt to send data to my MagicMirror from another computer to be displayed.

I am using the ottopaulsen/MMM-MQTT module.

The MagicMirror computer is also running Mosquitto broker which I have tested and is working fine., data being recieved and read correctly.

I have what I guess are errors from the following command.

from pm2 logs

/home/pi2/.pm2/logs/mm-error.log last 15 lines:

I have no idea how to proceed from here.

When I start MagicMirror, I just end up with a completely blank screen, no modules, nothing working.

I have run

npm run config:check

That seems ok.

Please Help!

@vinnie1 could you provide more of the pm2 logs?

@sdetweil

Thanks for taking the time to have a look.

This is everything from the command pm2 logs

With or without the MQTT in config.js the logs look the same.
Maybe the error is in the config.js somewhere?

@vinnie1 still not enough

do

pm2 stop all
pm2 flush

pm2 start all

wait 30 seconds
ctrl-m to minimize mm
pm2 stop all

pm2 logs --lines=100

@vinnie1 did u add the
export ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1

to the correct file

vinnie1 · Feb 16, 2023, 4:56 AM

@sdetweil

yes

/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

I also have a mm.sh in my home directory (not sure why), I put it in there as well.

sdetweil · Feb 16, 2023, 1:41 PM

@vinnie1 to figure out which script needs updating use pm2 commands

pm2 status

will show you all the apps it is managing
