MMM-MQTT = Blank Screen

vinnie1

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

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

ok, here is the output.

Just for information this is done over ssh.

sdetweil

@vinnie1 did u add the
export ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1

to the correct file

vinnie1

@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

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

pm2 status

will show you all the apps it is managing

for each, using the number or name do

pm2 info x

where x is the number or name
for example
pm2 info 0
or
pm2 info MagicMirror

it will tell you lots of things, but one is the name of the script used to launch the app
