Problem after installing MM on Pi Zero W

abergy

Ok I was a bit too fast.

After installing the libaries no errors occur, but after rebooting the PiZeroW this happens:

pi@magicmirror:~ $ npm start
npm ERR! Linux 4.9.35+
npm ERR! argv "/usr/local/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "start"
npm ERR! node v4.2.1

npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/package.json'

npm ERR! enoent and is related to npm not being able to find a file.

I did not search for this in the forum yet, maybe you have a quick answer for this again.
(maybe this is easy again, but I’m not good at debuging this error output)

Are you running npm start from your MagicMirror directory?

pi@magicmirror~/MagicMirror

no I didn’t , now there are no errors. Thanks.

But now the screen is black again.
npm start works, … hmm …is the configsample.js maybe not working with the Pi Zero ?

Is there a way to test the MM with an other method ? ( I’m using Midori, like in the tutorial)

@abergy if there is a module using es6 features it could be a reason for the black screen. can you check the developer console in midori for errors?

Can I check the errorlog over the commandline somehow?

If I google the “Black screen” problem with the Pi zero W, there are a lot of questions but now solutions.
Someone said ist maybe because of the ARM6 Arch. on the Pi Zero!?

Should I buy a Raspi3 to save my nerves ^^?

There is certainly less trouble with a Pi3. Installation is more direct and you don’t need any work-arounds. Your nerves are another matter. :^)

@abergy actually you can’t as the logs are related to your browser (midori)

I had the same issue. Tried Chromium instead Midori, where it works fine.
