      I have a Raspberry Pi 1. MM2 is successfully installed. i get a blank black screen after node serveronly start. I’m using the default config file from the update.

      apt-get update and apt-get upgrade - done
      git pull - done

      Updated local to US, timezone to Pacific.

      In the config file, I changed the language from en to en-us and blank without any success.

      Any help will be greatly appreciated.

        Are you able to see if there is any js/console errors? (I’m new myself) perhaps view on another computer on the network?

        CAAAAN DOO!👍

          Have you tried accessing the MM-interface on an other device? So if you enter “http://IP_OF_YOUR_PI:8080” in the browser of your computer for instance, does it work? I had a similar problem, where the interface only worked on other devices…
          But you know that electron is not working on the RPi 1 right? So you will probably have a hard time trying to get this to work yourself on a Pi1…

            @bharathvenkat i use MM with node serveronly and a Midori Browser on my Raspberry PI B. Theoretically it should work on your RPi. Like Mr.Meeseeks (btw rick and morty is awesome) proposed, open the developer console in the browser and check if there is some code.

            @pagoa he is using node serveronly. With this command electron is not used.

              I’m also having this issue. I was getting the intro/setup your config screen. I got the donfig setup and wrestled with file permissions to get it copied. Relaunched and now I’ve got a black screen. The source of the page has the Magic Mirror stuff in it. Don’t know what’s wrong. Any advice?

                @chase what pi version? Are you running it in server mode? Any JavaScript errors in console? What browser?

                CAAAAN DOO!👍

                  I’m using an original model A. It is running in server mode, no javascript errors besides one below the don’t edit line in the config file. Any browser. Tried from multiple devices including the Pi itself. Thanks!

                    Which node.js Version is installed? Maybe this is the problem.

                        Try a newer node version.
                        Here is a blog post (unfortunately  in german) how to install the latest version. Deinstall the node before you install the newer version.
