      So I did the update and ended up with the black empty screen.

      I then made backup of my config and modules and deleted the whole MagicMirror folder to make a fresh install.
      I keep getting the black empty Electron screen and this with everything default (no custom config, no custom modules added yet)… :disappointed_face:

      Ran also sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade

      Here is what comes up from the console:

      pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start
      
      > magicmirror@2.6.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
      > sh run-start.sh

        syscall: 'listen',
        address: '127.0.0.1',
        port: 8080 }
      MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
      If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues
      Launching application.
      

      Please help as my mirror is almost done. :confounded_face:

        { Error: listen EADDRINUSE 127.0.0.1:8080

        means some other app is using port 8080…
        I would reboot

                In case someone else has this problem, instead of rebooting just run the following in your terminal:

                kill -9 $(lsof -t -i :8080)
                

                That’ll kill the current process on port 8080.

                  or kill all node related

                  ps -ef | grep node | awk  '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
