@axellejamous said in Mirror Not Working:

When you’re in the MagicMirror directory try going into the vendor file (cd vendor) and typing “npm install”. I had the same symptoms when I installed mine so it could be the same issue.

Never mind. I realise I was running it with node serveronly and that works perfectly with 0 errors. However if I run it with npm start it’s still black.

@slametps If you run it with npm start, does it work for you?
For me that only solved my issue if I run it with node serveronly.
Now there’s 0 errors so I have no clue why my screen still shows up black with npm start.

@slametps glad you found it! you basically had the same issue as me except I didn’t have the fonts one. It’s really odd.

@Mykle1
I did luckily!
I indeed had the issue after manual installation. Fact is, the automatic installation script would actually get stuck on two of my Pi’s at the node modules installation.
So I had to manually install.

In the issue that helped me find the answer, he did do a manual install as well and had the same problem.
But someone did mention “in the latest version there is a npm install task in the vendor folder as well which gets executed automatically after a successful install, yours wasn’t successful so this was never executed” which means I probably made a mistake in my manual installation, although I have no clue what it could’ve is as I followed the steps thoroughly on 2 different pi’s, getting the same result.

Solved the issue by simply running npm install in the vendor folder.

Found thanks to this issue

Thought I’d share the solution so maybe noobs like me can use it in the future.

I don’t know if this is the right place for me to reply but I’m desperate.
I’m supposed to do a project for school with the MM but I can’t even seem to get it up and running.
I made an issue on the forum but so far I’ve gotten no replies :(

I followed these steps to reinstall the MM but instead of making my own config file I used the one provided. When I run it, the screen is black and I can see in dev tools that the “moment” npm package is having some issues but I can’t find any info anywhere on how to solve it or anyone that has a similar issue.

Hello,

I must be doing something very wrong.
I followed the howchoo guide and did every step, except for 8.
I also installed it manually since the automatic one wasn’t working for me.

I’ve done all of my updates and upgrades and what-not but whenever I run
DISPLAY=:0 npm start I get no errors, but the screen is just black.
I’m using the provided config files with no modifications. Pulled from Master.

//Update:

I found out that this is the error that is causing it

I basically get a ton of “Failed to load resource” errors and these cause this one to happen on a loop:

I reinstalled moment, but the error still happens.
