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

MichMich

I’ve released an update: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/releases/tag/v2.3.1

E3V3A

Just to say it…
It seem that many people having problems, are running something out dated.
Either: nodejs, npm, or pm2.

Because of the incredible dependency chain involved for node packages, I can only assume that using a newer versions of one package, will also require a newer version of the package depending on it, and possibly vice versa. Of course when things are working, it all beautiful, but it seem very easy that it doesn’t.

Just updated the new repo.

It’s alive again.

Same with me. I was not at home over Easter, had switched off the raspberry 3 days. Launched yesterday and just a black screen. :(
After that I read this with the new update and executed it, unfortunately without any changes. The downgrade of electron described above also brought no change. Still a black screen and no display via ip:8080.

I followed the usual update routine.
I don’t have any logs, as I’ve restored MM from an earlier SD card backup.

MM working OK everywhere, it’s just telling me I’m 150 commits out-of-date.
I’ll live with that until the electron black screen issue is resolved.

I’ll live with that until the electron black screen issue is resolved.

It is resolved in V2.3.1

Hello,
I can’t get it to work anymore. :-(
have meanwhile updated the Raspi including firmware. MagicMirror directory renamed and reinstalled.
After booting only a black screen.

Does that mean anything to anyone?
