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

      MMM-Hue
      MMM-MyCommute
      MMM-Formula1
      MMM-SystemStats

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

          Perhaps try stopping all instances of electron and node.

          Stop pm2

          Then try the install again.

          Reboot the Pi.

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

                      Tried this, same result. Blank mirror although pm2 reports it is online.

                        Working on node version 6.13.1

                        I think I can see where this is going… The blank screen is the mirror running, but there could be an issue with loading the page data? …

                          @Cyberwrights thanks for that … I just used ‘dpkg -l | grep ii | less’, and that took forever to find node … lol

                            My first thought there is an issue with electron. Looking into it.

                              Could someone try the following in the MagicMirror folder:

                              npm install electron@1.4.15
                              

                              If this works, please state your Node version as well. (node -v)

                                  Uhhmm… thats odd. It’s just a command to downgrade electron.

                                    It seems to fix the issue for others. Not sure why you are unable to downgrade electron.

                                    Could you reboot and try again @harry?

                                      Yep. Reboot helped.
                                      Rebooted, stopped MagicMirror and then the downgrade worked.
                                      MagicMirror is up and running again!

                                      Thanks a lot!

                                            You guys should probaly do pm2 stop mm; pm2 kill to make sure it’s not running in the background.

                                            Also, AFAIK, I think if you do git reset --hard you’d loose all your old config settings and other changes you’ve made?
