May 12th update black-screens my magicmirror

[ihadx]

I reverted using the following commands and then my magicmirror works again: cd modules/MMM-BackgroundSlideshow git checkout 8865158 pm2 restart mm

I tried to upgrade MMM-BackgroundSlideshow on two magic mirrors I am using, both are running rpi 4 and on both am getting error regarding incorrect binaries.

I tried suggested fix in error log but it did not help. Please remove the 'node_modules/sharp' directory and run 'npm install' on the 'linux-armv7' platform.

I too updated 2 MagicMirrors to this latest update, and it black-screened both of them. When I commented-out MMM-BackgroundSlideshow from config.js, normal functioning returned. I then followed the direction above to "git checkout 8865158" and then could leave the BackgroundSlideshow section in my config.js, but its not working; no images are being displayed. How can I revert to a prior version that was working as a short-term fix?

@ihadx, can you look and see what errors are coming up?

@erikvoznak, it looks like it is trying to use the wrong binaries. I just did a fresh install on a rpi 4, when I ran the 'npm install' in the MMM-BackgroundSlideshow directory, it ended up downloading the source and building the binaries. Did you do the suggested fix in the MMM-BackgroundSlideshow directory or in the main Magic Mirror directory? Maybe try both.

@SCHokie, can you post what errors you are seeing in the logs?

[darickc]

Be sure you are running 'npm install' in the MagicMirror/modules/MMM-BackgroundSlideshow directory and the MagicMirror/vendor directory.

[SCHokie]

Yea, when the upgrade first broke, I attempted a clean module re-install, and believe i failed to do the 'npm install'. With that done, now on both MM's', the downgrade detailed above has them working again. Thanks.

[ihadx]

The error is "Cannot find module 'sharp'" which is not a module I've installed. I simplifed my config.js to be just clock and MMM-BackgroundSlideshow, made sure it still worked, then did a 'git checkout master' in the MMM-BackgroundSlideshow folder and restarted mm. The resulting log file with errors is here: mm log on latest MMM-BackgroundSlideshow.txt

[darickc]

Sharp is a library used for resizing images on the fly. Be sure to do 'npm install' in the MMM-BackgroundSlideshow folder as well as the MagicMirror/vendor folder to make sure all dependencies are installed.

Ok great that was it. Thanks! I got it working with this: cd modules/MMM-BackgroundSlideshow git checkout master npm install pm2 restart mm
