MMM-Hotword problem with Black Screen

  • E

    Hi, I’ve instaled MMM-AssistantMk2 and it seems to be working fine. I had a problem with blackscreen on that but used this post from a couple days ago to fix it.
    Now I’ve installed MMM-Hotword and am getting a black screen when i try to start my mirror with it configured. I believe snowboy is not installing, there isn’t a folder for it in “node_modules” (which, from my reading, I think there is supposed to be). I’ve run the “save snowboy” command a bunch of times but get the same errors every time.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    –edit-- I just realized i posted this in the main troubleshooting forum instead of the module troubleshooting. Should i delete and repost? Or can the Mods move it?

    I’m going to call this solved, kinda. I restarted from scratch and got it to work. Snowboy was not installing for some reason. Possibly my raspbian was not up to date. But we’ll never know.
