        @bibi can you post your whole config file?

        Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                @bibi you forgot to close the config section in the newsfeed module, add } after showPublishDate: true and you should be fine

                Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                    Ok the problem it’s solved! except the screen is turning on and off in a very strange way… have to figure out why.

                    For those you would get the same issue as me, what i did after fixing my config file was:

                    1. sudo apt-get update & upgrade & reboot,
                    2. go in MMM-PIR-Sensor folder in modules folder and run npm install there
                      3.sudo reboot
                      cheers

                      Also had the “white screen” problem. I installed a complete new Raspian (with PIXEL), a new MagicMirror - including node.js in version 7.3.0
                      As soon as i tried to get the MMM-Pir-Sensor working, it failed (with an white screen). Heres, how i solved my problem.

                      At first: Theres no need to downgrade the node (i tried this too, and had no luck)

                      I figured out, that my problem was an MMM-PIR-Sensor installation error i did not recognized at the beginning. When i tried “npm install” i got something like this (an error):

                      "gyp WARN EACCES user “root” does not have permission to access the dev dir “/root/.node-gyp/5.12.0”

                      I figured out, that there are two ways of solving this:

                      1. CHOWN the directory the install procedure tries to install
                      2. use “npm install --unsafe-perm”

                      Im aware that option two is not the “elegant” way, but it solved my problem (and i did not have to change directory permissions).

                      I removed all files and git the files again (like described some lines above from banglee) and then just use “npm install --unsafe-perm”

                      The “–unsafe-perm” option was the key to my problem…

                        Hi @Medo ,
                        I have gotten the white screen problem as well and my raspberry pi configuration is similar to yours ( running on PIXEL with the latest nodejs).

                        However, upon using option 2 from your solution. I have obtained this error :
