      Hi all,

      I’m facing exactly the same problem on my RPi3. The screen is all black and shows only the mouse arrow. I can access the MMM-RemoteControl from a separate notebook or mobile and it is possible to remotely restart the MM software to bring everything back to normal.
      With a connect mouse you can move the mouse pointer but still there is a black screen. below please find the result after typing pm2 log mm

        Same Problem here. New MagicMirror Setup with a Raspberry Pi 2 and USB-Wifi.
        The Error Message is similar. It seems to lost the Internet Connection and the screen goes blank/black.
        No Solution so far.

          Same behavior on RPI3, black screen after few hours, I’ve tried almost all version of electron described on the linked thread, no workaround found.

            Same here. I turned down the updatenotification module. See if this helps. Will keep you posted.

              3rd day. No black screen anymore. I think we identified the root cause.

                I’ll give it a try and remove the update module. But it will take some more days since I’m traveling over the weekend…

                  I’ve already disabled the update notification module, nothing has changed.

                    For me it runs stable since removing the update module.

                      I updated our mirror to 2.4.1 about 2 weeks ago… since the new software is running we don’t see black screen anymore…

                        Running 2.4.1 and getting the black screen after some time. Pi is still accessible and PM2 restart mm makes it work again.
                        How do you disable the update notification module?
