Updated to MM v2.6.0 now all I get is only a black Electron screen...

[Cr4z33]

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

Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...

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:

@cr4z33 said in Updated to MM v2.6.0 now all I get is only a black Electron screen...:

{ Error: listen EADDRINUSE 127.0.0.1:8080

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

@sdetweil doh how could I not think about it lol! :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

Thanks working now!

[sdetweil]

@cr4z33 great!.. can u mark your problem as closed…

[Cr4z33]

@sdetweil done.

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.

[sdetweil]

or kill all node related

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