Blank black screen | Noob

@Arod192, that’s a rather old version of node. When you run the automatic install from MM², it installs a more recent version automatically. You shouldn’t have to do that manually.
-
@amanzimdwini, I didn’t mention it … yet … because I like to figure out where the problem is, before I tell someone to start from scratch. :)
-
@KirAsh4 Update Node.js and I’m still having the problem
-
@KirAsh4 Okay I just changed the language from en to nl (just to see what’ll happen) and now it works!
But now everything is in the “nl” language but when I change it back to “en” the screen is black again
-
@KirAsh4 Looks like all languages work but when I change the language to en I get a black screen
-
@KirAsh4 Alright I think I fixed it. What I did was I went into the translations folder and I renamed en.js to en-us.js. After that I went into the config and changed en to en-us.
-
@Arod192 I can confirm this is a bug. Hardcoding ‘en’ in config.js causes black-screen, however, leaving it as ’ ’ or node serveronly runs fine.

noob here reporting same issue and same workaround works for me.
Exact Same issue and hardware and OS as poster. From a clean build, updated all before running MM auto installer as I thought I had made a mistake my first time around.
“used the automatic installer located here, https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror, and followed every step.
I’m using a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.
I’m running Raspian Jesse 4.4, Node v4.4.3.
The MagicMirror is up-to-date”server nodeonly -works
npm start -does notchanging ‘en’ to ‘’ in config.js works as a workaround. It will now open in electron.
-
Odd bug, as I have two different rpi 3s running just fine with
'en'as the value. This makes me wonder … can any of you paste the contents of your ‘/usr/share/X11/locale/’ folder?$ sudo ls -aF /usr/share/X11/locale/ -
Hey Everyone,
I was have the same issue. Change from ‘en’ to ’ ’ now it works.
@KirAsh4 this is my “locale” folder.pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo ls -aF /usr/share/X11/locale/ ./ fi_FI.UTF-8/ iso8859-11/ iso8859-6/ ja.SJIS/ locale.dir sr_CS.UTF-8/ zh_CN.gb18030/ zh_TW.UTF-8/ ../ georgian-academy/ iso8859-13/ iso8859-7/ km_KH.UTF-8/ microsoft-cp1251/ tatar-cyr/ zh_CN.gbk/ am_ET.UTF-8/ georgian-ps/ iso8859-14/ iso8859-8/ ko/ microsoft-cp1255/ th_TH/ zh_CN.UTF-8/ armscii-8/ ibm-cp1133/ iso8859-15/ iso8859-9/ koi8-c/ microsoft-cp1256/ th_TH.UTF-8/ zh_HK.big5/ C/ iscii-dev/ iso8859-2/ iso8859-9e/ koi8-r/ mulelao-1/ tscii-0/ zh_HK.big5hkscs/ compose.dir isiri-3342/ iso8859-3/ ja/ koi8-u/ nokhchi-1/ vi_VN.tcvn/ zh_HK.UTF-8/ el_GR.UTF-8/ iso8859-1/ iso8859-4/ ja.JIS/ ko_KR.UTF-8/ pt_BR.UTF-8/ vi_VN.viscii/ zh_TW/ en_US.UTF-8/ iso8859-10/ iso8859-5/ ja_JP.UTF-8/ locale.alias ru_RU.UTF-8/ zh_CN/ zh_TW.big5/ pi@raspberrypi:~ $Thanks.
