So ... to update MagicMirror I would ... ??

NoNameRo

If you want to update your MagicMirror² to the latest version, use your terminal to go to your Magic Mirror folder and type the following command:

git pull && npm install

If you changed nothing more than the config or the modules, this should work without any problems. Type git status to see your changes, if there are any, you can reset them with git reset --hard. After that, git pull should be possible.

I’ve just applied the latest update and get a blank, black screen.

If I kill electron, I get back to the Pi desktop, until electron auto restarts.

Any advice on how to get MM back again, please?

Thanks!

Charley

Also my MagicMirror is a blank screen. Will not start again

chef

many thanks ;)

Montanaro

Same issue, i´ve updated and got a black screen.

PIR disabled in config (as a precaution, elimination)
Pi shutdown, powered off, and restarted.
MM Still blank on Pi.
MM OK on a LAN PC, via :8080

Yep. I see I’m not the only one with a blank screen…
I did the git pull && npm install. It went through with only two warnings. Then after pm2 restart mm.sh I got the blank screen. I see that there is an npm-debug.log that contains some errors:

Any help would be appreciated.

I returned from a copied img from my sd card to an older version and only did

git pull

didn’t do the

npm install

at least now it works again

chef

strange I’m not seeing a black screen.

Perhaps an issue with the auto start script? But I’m unsure.

Electron was updated in this release as well.

MichMich

In most cases it’s because the port is still in use. First thing to try if it fails to start after an update: reboot the pi.

Richard238

Power off & on restores VNC, and LAN access displaying MM. (Hurrah!).

Pi. Electron window is black, but shows cursor.

Cyberwrights

One more for blank screen, no joy after update per the instructions. Restarted MM using pm2, then rebooted the Pi. Ran the git reset --hard command, still nothing.

NoNameRo

for me it worked without problems as follows

pm2 stop mm

then

git pull && npm install

and then

pm2 restart mm

maybe it works for one or the other

Cyberwrights

@NoNameRo Intuition tells me I should have stopped the service before applying the update, but unfortunately the instructions do not…

NoNameRo

I do not know if it is absolutely necessary to stop the service, for me it was obvious to do it

chef

Perhaps try stopping all instances of electron and node.

Stop pm2

Then try the install again.

Reboot the Pi.

MichMich

Could everyone state what version of node you are running? (And if it works or not).

@MichMich said in So ... to update MagicMirror I would ... ??:

Mine is v6.12.3
Not working…

Richard238

Node version = v6.9.5

Cyberwrights

v6.12.3
Not working

btw that command if anyone else needs to look it up is just
$ node -v
