Hi @Sean
Thank you for your input. I ran through all the commands you gave without any problems. Had to change the “essentials” to “essential”.
But, now I get the previous error I had received.
WARNING! Could not load config file. Starting with default configuration. Error found: Error: Cannot find module ‘snowboy’.
Ok. These are the steps I took.
WARNING! Could not load config file. Starting with default configuration. Error found: Error: Failed to load gRPC binary module because it was not installed for the current system
Expected directory: electron-v2.0-linux-arm-glibc
Found: [node-v67-linux-arm-glibc]
This problem can often be fixed by running "npm rebuild" on the current system
Original error: Cannot find module '/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-AssistantMk2/node_modules/grpc/src/node/extension_binary/electron-v2.0-linux-arm-glibc/grpc_node.node'
What do you think @sdetweil ?
Thanks for the reply @sdetweil . So, do you mean like… ?
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-AssistantMk2
npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild
npm install nan
./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild
@sean
Thank you for your reply. I did a fresh install of Raspbian Stretch, did all the updates and installed all the dependencies one by one. However, every time I add the default configuration for MMM-Hotword into the main config.js file… I get the black screen. I can safely say MMM-Hotword is the culprit because the mirror works fine without it in the config.js file. Do you have an idea of what’s causing this?
This is what I have in my config.js file

The error I get when running the mirror with the Hotword module says it cannot find the snowboy module… I didn’t have any problems when I installed snowboy. I rebuilt this without any problems using the code below.
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword/node_modules/snowboy
npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild
npm install nan
./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?

Hold on, I’m wrong here. I don’t think it’s the Hotword module causing the blackout. I just removed that part from the main config file and still get the same issue. I will try and look back in the forum related to MMM-AssistantMk2.
Hi there, I’ve looked all over the forum for an answer to my problem. The MagicMirror works fine with the MMM-AssisstantMk2, I then added the Hotword module into the config file and the program starts… but just a black screen. This is what’s displayed on the terminal. Does anyone see what I’m doing wrong?
