Read the statement by Michael Teeuw here.
Blank screen after a couple of hours
-
@bradley1982 how does magicmirror get started? pm2 at boot?
if so , pm2 can do lots of things, from a terminal window do
pm2 status
pm2 stop alland then
pm2 --help
for a list of all the options available -
@sdetweil HI sam,
it auto lauches when the pi reset.
it seems to work for a couple of hours/day and then i get the blank screen with the cursor. I can see it on the remote control app and look ok but the screen is blank.
When i reset the pi it works ok for the same period… and the blank screen?
is there a log that i can run to figure out what is causing it?
again really new to all this and need an idiot guide lol -
@bradley1982 i assume you use pm2 to autostart.
if so, thenpm2 logs --lines=xxxx
where xxxx is a number of lines to display from the latest part of the logs.
xxxx defaults to 15there are only 500 places where one needs a guide. lol.
-
@sdetweil lol!
cool i have ran that, presume that i check this later and see if i get an error message form one of the modules?
sorry for the stupid questions
-
@bradley1982 yes, you can empty the current (old) collection of log messages by
pm2 flush
-
@sdetweil got this initially when i ran it … (pm2 log)

many thanks in advance
-
@bradley1982 can you do it another way
pm2 stop all
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start >somfile.txt 2>&1when the black screen happens, ctrl-c on the command window with the npm start in it
ctrl-q might work on the MM black screen but maybe not
-
@sdetweil Hi Sam
Nothing seems to happen when i do the control c however when i do the control q on the blank screen on the MM it bring me back to the config file and the terminal window.
bradley@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 stop all
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start >somfile.txt 2>&1

at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)this is probably the killer… network error, and not enough error recovery
sadly there is no fix for this@bradley1982 said in Blank screen after a couple of hours:

at Object. (/home/bradley/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast/MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast.js:80:22)this one is a module problem that should be reported on the module.
-
@sdetweil oh ok. thanks for your help.
any recommendation what to do?
-
@sdetweil on the second look at the module github page, issues and see if anyone has posted a fix
-
@bradley1982 ok thanks very much for all you help!
