      @E3V3A The Config & Modules folder are not part of the Git repro. All other changes are overwritten.

          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chain involved for node packages, I can only assume that using a newer versions of one package, will also require a newer version of the package depending on it, and possibly vice versa.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.

                Installed MM2.3.1, still got black screen
                Installed earlier version electron, still got black screen.

                Shutdown and restarted.

                Now nothing on :8080 either :(

                    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                      MM working OK everywhere, it’s just telling me I’m 150 commits out-of-date.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.

                          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?

                            Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed.
                            – That’s exactly what it means.

                              I thought I tried both. But it doesn’t matter now, I’ve redone everything. It’s back on now. Thanks for your help.

                                        Must be some of my modules but with your default config mirror works but with my config I get a BLACK SCREEN.

                                        BTW, I did not upgrade (was a bit worried)… not sure if should do that !

                                            @bitfit2020 i dont have a config in any of my scripts

                                            i used the sample doing install,
                                            config.js for upgrade
                                            and no confug for the screen saver and pm2 scripts at the end

                                            upgrade does what u are supposed to do manually, but breaks running systems with lots of none-base modules

                                            upgrade tries to detect and fix the breakage

                                            run 1st time it will just check if its possible upgrade would work

                                            second time with ‘apply’ parm will do the upgrade process. a log is kept of the process
