*FIX* for blank terminal

[jackbackes]

Hi everyone. I, like many of you, had the following issue:

1. install worked. (hurray!)
2. blank terminal (oh no!)

This simple fix made it work for me:

• run devtools-terminal in the shell:
  $ devtools-terminal
  
• open chrome devtools
• click three dots in corner
• click Remote Connection
  
  host: http://localhost:8080
  user: admin
  password: (none)
  
• click 'ok'
  
  Voila! Command Line Magic!
  Got a blank screen on Mac El Capitan #67 DevTools terminal shows me blank screen #71 Not able to connect via both Native Messaging API & Web Socket on Mac Mavericks #49 Install Success,But it doesn't work #78 Installed Correctly but Does Not Work (Mac El Capitan + Chrome Version 52.0.2743.116 (64-bit)) #77 not working on node v6.3.1 ubuntu 14.04 #75 Not working for me (Version 51.0.2704.103 (64-bit)) #74 Does not work in OSX #57

I believe the root issue is found in the default example-config.js:

exports.config = {
  users: {
    admin: {
      password: "",
      cwd: process.cwd()
    }
  },
  port: 8080
};

here you see the username is admin, password is "", and port is 8080, which exactly matches the steps that must be entered for remote access.

I don't know why local access doesn't work. Perhaps @petethepig can enlighten?

no remote connection option in chrome 58
the three dot menu looks different

@ubermensh, I am having issues too. macOS + Chrome 60 the three dots do nothing when clicked.
