Or…, is it best to use the sudo raspi-config /Advanced/… route?

Comment out the dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d change, and Pi boots, MM starts OK.

Does it matter where in config.txt that the new line is placed?

Update to 2.4.0, and made the sudo nano /boot/config.txt dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d change.

Shut down Pi, powered Pi back on, and now fails to boot, showing just a cursor top left of monitor.

Same issue here

@Richard238 Please share the steps you took to upgrade and the log files which shows errors.

I followed the usual update routine.
I don’t have any logs, as I’ve restored MM from an earlier SD card backup.

MM working OK everywhere, it’s just telling me I’m 150 commits out-of-date.
I’ll live with that until the electron black screen issue is resolved.

Found the error logs from a backup I forgot I’d taken:

I’ll live with that until the electron black screen issue is resolved.

Installed MM2.3.1, still got black screen
Installed earlier version electron, still got black screen.

Shutdown and restarted.

Now nothing on :8080 either :(

Node version = v6.9.5

Power off & on restores VNC, and LAN access displaying MM. (Hurrah!).

Pi. Electron window is black, but shows cursor.

PIR disabled in config (as a precaution, elimination)
Pi shutdown, powered off, and restarted.
MM Still blank on Pi.
MM OK on a LAN PC, via :8080

I’ve just applied the latest update and get a blank, black screen.

If I kill electron, I get back to the Pi desktop, until electron auto restarts.

Any advice on how to get MM back again, please?

Thanks!

Perfect, thank you! :)

That seems to have fixed it, thank you.
There’s now a prompt at the top of MM saying there’s an update available for the PIR module.
How do I go about updating an individual module?

I added a PIR to my MM, and I get a black screen, and no MM in browser on other LAN devices.
Hitting the ‘Windows’ key brings up the Pi start menu, where I can lunch terminal and stop MM.
A simple test script confirms the PIR device is working correctly without MM running.

Any ideas on how to fix this, please?

Here are the errors, and my config.

{ Error: Cannot find module 'onoff'

Config:

		{
		module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
		config: {
				sensorPIN:22,
                powerSaving: true,
                relayPIN: false,
				powerSavingDelay: 0,
                relayOnState: 1
			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
		}
	},

Ah, OK, seems simple enough.
But why has this not been an issue before with previous MM updates?

Thanks.

With PM2 installed, MM starts OK.
Ctrl+Q to access desktop, but PM2 kicks in, so how do you get access to the terminal, and desktop with PM2 running?!

Thank you.

Trying to apply the latest updates:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ git pull && npm install

*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

git config --global user.email “you@example.com”
git config --global user.name “Your Name”

to set your account’s default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

fatal: empty ident name (for ) not allowed

Hmmmm, black screen, and nothing on a browser at http://192.168.n.nn:8080/ either.

		module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
		config: {
		sensorPIN: 22,
                powerSaving: true,
                relayPIN: false,
                powerSavingDelay: 0,
                relayOnState: 1
			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
		}
	},

That’s what I have done now, but it is only a fudge, a workaround.

What’s the problem with using config.js to make changes to the compliments module, why doesn’t it work?
