I had a lot of trouble with the 2.30 release on my Raspberry Pi 5 4GB, updated Rasbian/Debian Bookworm. Previous release was fine but this one is not. MagicMirror would run for a couple minutes, maybe even 10-20 minutes, but then the screen would go blank.
Some testing showed that this was the actual MM program going blank. Other OS UI elements could be coaxed into appearing–the shutdown dialog for example, or the cursor moving across the screen. pm2 restart MagicMirror would get it running again for a few minutes.
This was in the logs every time:

There are some relevant search results for this, but no fixes. It is generally claimed to be a memory leak in Electron. Plausible given how it takes a little while to happen. Also MM 2.30 seems to have bumped Electron to 32.2.8 vs 31.6.0 that my 2.29 install is showing. I tried editing package.json to use ^33.0.0 which installed some newer minor version update of 33…don’t have that handy. Also tried ^34.0.0 which simply used 34.0.0 as there must not be anything newer available there yet. The same issue persisted.
I tried using sdetweil’s install script in case it did some extra step that I was missing in my manual install but that didn’t fix it.
I reverted to 2.29 using git checkout 94c3c69.
I don’t necessarily desire to spend a significant amount of time going back and forth trying to figure this out. Maybe sometime in the future. So anyways, I’m not seeking a solution today, but did want to at least document all of this in case someone runs into the same problem.
