MMM-PIR-Sensor - White Screen
-
@Bangee yes i follow his and yours… quite the same… regarding this npm warning I do nothing then as understood?
I will send you the log later when I’m home
Thx bangee! Appreciated! -
@Bangee so as expected the pm2 log mm just show that the file has syntax error… here is my config file, i put the module at the end…
thx again :) -
@bibi
powerSaving: true -
@strawberry-3.141 right was a typo but still the config file is “not created” :((
-
@bibi can you post your whole config file?
-
@strawberry-3.141 here you go and many thx in advance - i struggling with this now (sorry i don’t know why only few parts of the code is with the color background)

Everything with at least one tab indent is treated as code and highlighted. ;)
-
@yawns thx! :))
-
@bibi you forgot to close the config section in the newsfeed module, add
}aftershowPublishDate: trueand you should be fine -
@strawberry-3.141 yeah! thx a lot. at least i can see this white screen now :p :))) have to figure out how to solve this… Only if it’s realllllly really obvious for you/someone, i post my log file. (sorry to ask so much) otherwise not prob, i will reinstall the PIR module…

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:
- sudo apt-get update & upgrade & reboot,
- 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:
- CHOWN the directory the install procedure tries to install
- 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 :

First things that come to my mind:
- maybe a “sudo” is missing? Like
sudo npm install --unsafe-perm? - are you executing this from the MMM-PIR-Sensor directory ?
- maybe a “sudo” is missing? Like

Hi @Medo, Thanks for the reply.

@zichao92
What i also did, was a complete reinstall of the PIR-SensorI followed the steps, “Banglee” described some lines above:
ok so lets go step by step:
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/now we will remove the PIR folder:
rm -rf MMM-PIR-Sensorand from here, we’re going to reinstall the MMM-PIR-Sensor modul:
git clone https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor.git cd MMM-PIR-Sensorrun the following cmd here:
npm installand wait, this can take a few minutes.Now you’ll have to add pi to gpio
sudo useradd -g pi gpioand reboot your Raspi:
sudo rebootSorry, no further ideas so far (maybe you can open a PIR-Sensor troubleshooting thread)?

Hi @Medo ,
I managed to get it working in an ugly way. Doesnt matter, it works. Thanks for your help! -
I’m having nothing but trouble with this. I’ve tried all the tips on here but still get a white screen.
@zichao92 What was the ugly way and how did you manage to get it working please?

Hi @jwhittaker ,
Previously i had a working node_modules that Ive installed through npm install ( Cant rmb how i got it but i managed to create a back up copy of it). Subsequently when I tried to use npm install on a new raspberry pi, it didnt work as intended.What i did was instead of using npm install, I bypassed it by inserting the node_module that i previously salvaged and it worked for some reasons.

Random question for you:
when i try to do an “npm install” in the “MMM-PIR-Sensor” folder, i get the following error:
