@roooooony
can you do

ls /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libnss3.so -laF
and
ls /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libdbus-1.so.3 -laF

mine are dated aug 22 and Jun 9 (libdbus-1.so.3.19.11) respectively

and a thing to test out
rename the ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron folder to some other name
then do

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install electron@6.0.12

then try to start MagicMirror

@davidkmcw said in Was working fine, now just a blank screen:

Error: Cannot find module 'node_helper

that thing again

do

cd ~/MagicMirror
git checkout  modules/node_modules/node_helper/index.js

this was caused by doing an npm install in a folder that did NOT have a package.json file

@dankerthrone said in Black Screen: "cannot find module 'node_helper'":

Cannot find module ‘node_helper’

u did an npm install in a folder that had no package.json file I think

workaround do

cd ~/MagicMiror
git checkout modules/node_modules/node_helper/index.js

I have been fighting some crashes for a while, but using the dev window doesn’t help. it dies when Electron dies…

I found this logger, and it has helped a LOT…

thought others would be interested…

you put the javascript in a file (I used js/logger.js)
and then add the two lines to the index.html file (change the path/name of the logger.js file to match what you do)

the log file will be in ~/.config/Electron/logs
(note the leading dot on config)

@Hellonoonan I am willing to discuss. send me a better description. My email is my user ID here on Gmail.

We can also chat on discord.

@valid8r you only need to update the module… the mm update does NOT update any non-default modules…

go to the module folder

cd~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Holidaylights
git pull

if it has a package.json file then in the module folder do

npm install

@KalboDave
pm2 stop 0
pm2 delete 0

@DæmonEyes and you have to do

npm install

In the MagicMirror folder too

@bm erase the MagicMirror folder and use my install script from here

Node and npm are way downlevel.

npm ERR! node -v v0.10.29
npm ERR! npm -v 1.4.21

current node is 10.17 or higher
current npm is 6.x

The automated install script fixes that
