MM will not start after update 11/08/20

[Tomxtal]

I have been using MM-PIR-Sensor for the past few months with no problems but the last update looks like it has broken something.

I started the update by removing the older version with cd MagicMirror/modules rm -rf MMM-PIR-Sensor. Then installed the new version with cd MagicMirror/modules git clone https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor.git and npm install.

How I just get the white screen as if it is to start then it just goes to black screen with the cursor in the middle, if I disable MM-PIR-Sensor in config.js it starts just fine.

Me too. Any solutions?

Dear all,

I encoutered the same problem and found the solution here:
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6991/mmm-pir-sensor-black-screen/7

In short:

1. remove the module:
   cd ~/MagicMirror
   rm -rf modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor
2. reboot the raspi:
   sudo reboot
3. install the module again
   --> this worked for my installation.

Thanks to morozgrafix for his explanation - how to remove a module.

It seems that some updates cause changes in other configuration files and only a new installation of the
module (I had similar problem for other modules) sets the parameter back to working status.

Best regards,
Dres49.
