and the mirror just go into a blackscreen then loop back to wallpaper then loop back again to blackscreen and it keeps going back and forth

@sdetweil the pm2 issue.

im not able to pm2 start magicmirror

@sdetweil i did. i copied your code as suggest and paste it into my mm.sh and it the same issue.

@sdetweil ok got it. thanks. since the punycode is not material lets ignore it for now and focus on the pm2 haha.

@sdetweil it doesnt work still unfortunately. it goes into a black screen then back to wallpaper and keep looping in this manner…

@sdetweil

hsa@HSA:~ $ find ~/MagicMirror/modules -type d | grep punycode | sort
/home/hsa/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Jast/node_modules/punycode

@sdetweil i did use your upgrade script.

do you mean change it inside mm.sh?

currently its

#!/bin/bash
# This file is still here to keep PM2 working on older installations.
cd ~/MagicMirror
DISPLAY=:0 npm start

change it to

#!/bin/bash
# This file is still here to keep PM2 working on older installations.
cd ~/MagicMirror
DISPLAY=:0 npm run start:x11

correct?

@sdetweil how do i fix my pm2 issue?

@sdetweil yes correct

NODE_OPTIONS=–trace-deprecation npm run start:x11

i also manually git pull all the modules and all are up to dates as well.

@sdetweil my pm2 is currently not working at the moment.

i then tried to pm2 start and ran into this error. Ok not exactly error, but the mirror just keep going to blackscreen and nothing then back to wall paper then blackscreen and keep looping this.

(node:1971942) [DEP0044] DeprecationWarning: The `util.isArray` API is deprecated. Please use `Array.isArray()` instead.

@sdetweil it didnt show any module error.

@sdetweil my mm.sh is currently -

#!/bin/bash
# This file is still here to keep PM2 working on older installations.
cd ~/MagicMirror
DISPLAY=:0 npm start

should i change it to

#!/bin/bash
# This file is still here to keep PM2 working on older installations.
cd ~/MagicMirror
DISPLAY=:0 npm start:x11

i then tried to pm2 start and ran into this error. Ok not exactly error, but the mirror just keep going to blackscreen and nothing then back to wall paper then blackscreen and keep looping this.

(Use `node --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)

then i ran npm start and get the punycode error

i then read in another thread to do npm run start:x11
this works but the punycode still appear but mirror runs.

feels like theres multiple item for me to fix and im kinda lost.

can some kind soul help me out?

anyone facing issue with the api not updating?
in my mirror it is showing next api update is on 21 march 2026. current image showing epl data stats from late jan, meaning the recent matches data is not shown. like the games for yesterday is invisible as well.

Ok, after git pull, had to do a npm ci and that fixes it!
