Black screen after MM v2.4.0 update.
-
I have a similar problem, after starting the MM the screen freezes, only way to unfreeze it is to close electron. Have tried both options too.
After enabling either of the OpenGL drivers i get the followed errors:
> magicmirror@2.4.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror > sh run-start.sh libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information Starting MagicMirror: v2.4.0 Loading config ...

After 2.4.0, Asus Tinker Board cannot display MM. I think it might be related with this openGL issues. Is there any way to solve this?
ATB has no openGL desktop driver likevc4-kms-v3d. Fakevc4-kms-v3ddoes not help. -
I can’t access my mirror remotely anymore. Will I need to format my sd card and try again?
-
I am having the same issues and tried alot right now.
Tried the
dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3das well asdtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3das well asdeleting that phraseI downgraded electron to
npm install electron@1.4.15since i found that helped in the V2.30 problems.I cant currently show the log from starting MagicMirror since i remotly access it and the MM just goes “all black” over the remote-access-page and I cant close it.
I really just want to downgrad the MM to 2.3 since it worked absolutly fine with it…
Additional software I use is MM-PIR

@mykle1
Thanks Mykle1
Just how do i tell my pi to get the specific version? I am not versed in programming or coding or anything and couldnt find something online that told me how to install a specific version -
Did anyone find a fix here? just updated and same thing here. Hopefully i can get this back working tomorrow.
-
One way is to go to that link I gave you and download the version you want and install it manually.
-
Bumping this because I’m also having issues. A lot of time on google says it’s not just a MagicMirror issue, but lots of people have problems with the OpenGL drivers. My screen is blanking after some time no matter what, but I also found the hard way that it messes with
tvservice(like the Remote Control module uses) – turning my HDMI off straight up insta-shut down my pi! Gonna have to keep researching for sure. -
I just updated and this is shown at the end of the install.
MagicMirror installation successful! > magicmirror@2.4.1 install-fonts /home/pi/MagicMirror > cd fonts && npm install npm WARN postcss-html@0.12.0 requires a peer of postcss-less@>=1.1.0 but none was installed. npm WARN postcss-html@0.12.0 requires a peer of postcss-scss@>=1.0.0 but none was installed. npm WARN postcss-html@0.12.0 requires a peer of sugarss@>=1.0.0 but none was installed. npm WARN stylelint-config-standard@16.0.0 requires a peer of stylelint@^7.8.0 but none was installed. pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $I applied
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3dto the config.txt ( also tried with fkms)
Reboot and I get a black screen.
When I remove dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d then the mirror boots up.
Any suggestions? -
@mykle1
Just found your guide: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/5274/how-to-manually-install-mm-on-your-pi-for-absolute-beginnersGoing at it now and see if it works - thanks for the patience and writing that guide!

@kastore said in Black screen after MM v2.4.0 update.:
thanks for the patience and writing that guide!
You’re welcome, sir. :-)

Got my mirror working again. Had to go over the opengl drivers again and using the fake kms driver did the trick. However one problem remains, i had to also disable the MMM-Pir-Sensor module because that was messing with the system. But also my custom.css is not being used atm, and i cant figure out why its not grabbing it.
-
Anyone else struggling with using MMM-Pir-Sensor after the new update?
-
Yes, I am having the same black screen. I have to disable PIR to be able to use MM at all. I also noted that after I installed PIR I could no longer SSH into the Pi from my desktop computer, whereas I could from my mobile phone. Anyway, the black screen is the main concern right now. I’ll post if I discover anything helpful.

Not sure if I’m having the same issue, stupidly updated electron as npm was claiming 1.7.13 had a critical vulnerability (after installing MMM-voice) Then got the backscreen issue. rolled back electron to 1.7.13 & the issue persists.
Node v9.11.1
npm 6.1.0Thought I’d uploaded the log file but not sure if others can see it. That snippet below is the first error after ALL_MODULES_STARTED

Tried a fresh install with the same result :( -
I’m also having the black screen of death. I tried both overlay options, and I tried commenting it out alltogether. I also ran the 2.4.1 update, but still getting black screen. Runs normally with the new update though when I comment out the PIR module in the config.js file.
-
@shane1234 if u have the PIR module loaded, and do ctrl-shift-i (lower case letter i), it will open the debug env, and then select the console tab… do you see any errors?
also, if u start from a terminal window, alt-spacebar, n will minimze the mirror screen so you can see the terminal window node_helper outputs… anything there?
usually a module.js error kills with MM screen…

Mine after upgrade it’s freezing when trying to run magicmirror. Also try both kms driver and fake kms driver.
-
mine is also freezing after the update.
No difference if i connect via vnc or using the monitor.The only thing that does work, is opening the mirror in another browser (http://magicmirror:8080)
