      Hello. I recently installed MagicMirror2 on my Raspberry Pi 2.
      I installed it via the bash install script and I use the most recent node.js/npm binaries from their website. Installation and everything went smoothly w/o/ any errors, and everything looked nice.
      Then, I’ve read in the github wiki that electron will generate lots of load on cpu, and that I should enable OpenGL via boot config text file or raspi-config.
      I’ve tried out both methods, and there seems to be no problems, except for MagicMirror not showing up. Here’s a console output:

      > magicmirror@2.4.1 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
      > sh run-start.sh
      
      Starting MagicMirror: v2.4.1

      Could anyone help me please?

        I have exactly the same issue. :(

        Any idea on what to do?

          @markusbe Ok, I checked the locks and found out, that the MMM-PIR-Sensor module got an error message, it was build against another node.js version. A npm rebuild and npm install did not resolve the problem. I disabled the PIR Sensor in config.js, did an sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade, and now my MagicMirror is working again. But I still have to figure out what happened to the PIR-Module.

            I don’t have the MMM-PIR-Sensor, also, node is up to date. Wonder whether it has to do with system upgrades…
