@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)

@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:

Similar problem to @Them-Russians when running npm install. Then after starting MM using pm2 I get a white screen. Checking the pm2 error logs I see the following error with a module version mismatch: “Expected 50, got 49”.

npm rebuild --runtime=electron --target=1.3.4 --disturl=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell --abi=50Any help would be much appreciated before I reformat my sd card and start from scratch.
-
@bungee09
npm listand look for electron to find the right version. Then rerun the rebuild command with replaced version number -
@yawns
Works a treat. Thanks! -
@bungee09 Did you get the
npm installto work on the “MMM-PIR-Sensor” directory? Or did you just run thenpm listto get the version of electron and then runnpm rebuild --runtime=electron --target=1.3.4 --disturl=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell --abi=50with the right version?Which directory were you in when you ran the rebuild?
Sorry - i’m at work now, so dont have the Pi with me, but have been having issues with this for a week now, so i’m really hoping that this works for me :)
-
@Them-Russians - I feel your frustration! I spent a good few hours debugging this after installing and testing my PIR sensor. This is what eventually worked for me:
I ran all the commands in the MMM-PIR-Sensor Directory.
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor npm listI found the electron version number to be “1.4.3” so updated target to 1.4.3. Also, updated abi to 50 in the following command as this was the expected value from the error message in pm2 logs.
npm rebuild --runtime=electron --target=1.4.3 --disturl=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell --abi=50As soon as the rebuild was complete…
cd pm2 restart mm… to restart MagicMirror in pm2.
I also found this link which described the same fix.
Good luck!
