    if you installed one of the calendar patches or used the develop branch and intend to upgrade MANUALLY, YOU have to get back to the master branch ahead of time check the current branch cd ~/MagicMirror git branch output example * _fix_clipping develop master and if the highlighted (*) name is NOT master then rm package-lock.json rm package.json git checkout master use git branch to verify master is selected before continuing then do the commands as listed in the documentation if you are using my upgrade script, it will handle all this for you.

    @sdetweil said in Version 2.30.0 weather module, stuck loading, worked fine before upgrade: @Assassins seems it doesn’t work anymore… using my old 2.5 key I get code failure with openweathermap Strange, works on my sd card with MM2.29.0 and also works on MMM-DynamicWeather and on MMM-WeatherOrNot with MM2.33.0. Don’t know why openweathermap doesn’t work with MM2.33.0. Besides that, it may have something to do with the code in MM2.33.0 that has been rewritten.

    MagicMirror install on pi0w broken with legacy OS… chromium startup yields illegal instruction uninstall/reinstall doesn’t fix… I think it installed the armv7l version incorrectly.

    we have seen and verified that electron 8.5 and above are not working on raspian Jessie but Jessie is pretty old… u will see an error on npm start (after a version upgrade) /home/pi/MagicMirror__RL1/node_modules/electron/dist/electron: /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libdbus-1.so.3: no version information available (required by /home/pi/MagicMirror__RL1/node_modules/electron/dist/electron) strongly recommended to rebuild a new sd card with raspian Buster

    fixes are published in the next release via the develop branch to get there if you did manual install cd ~/MagicMirror git checkout develop git pull npm install restart MagicMirror as normal if you used my install script cd ~/MagicMirror git fetch origin develop:develop git checkout develop npm install if u are already ON the develop branch, and want to update to the latest, git pull npm install restart MagicMirror as normal

    @BiaGen the latest 2 releases run config check as part of startup, and fail if there is an error like that I always recommend using manual start whenever changing config, for this very purpose Stop pm2 mgmt if managing the app Then cd ~/MagicMirror npm start If any problems they are right there Once good, ctrl-q MagicMirror And then use pm2 to launch

    So I think the “Suspended” thing is a red herring. I booted up my dev system and watched the console messages there. I saw the same behaviour of BackgroundSlideshow being suspended but it does show the images. I’ll update just MMM-BackgroundSlideshow on that system and see what happens.

    @daportelli if you change the module name for a test, does it work? What do you get from MMM-GoogleCalendar that the default does not provide? never mind, it won’t work with the google side config… as for the purpose of this configuration. the content is protected by https encryption and no user will see it, its only exposed ON the system where MagicMirror runs, same for both modules. you can get the secret URL from the calendar.google.com settings,
