  I probably made a mistake in my manual installation,

  No sir, you made no mistake. You download the software and run npm install in the MagicMirror directory. If, and when that fails, it is no fault of yours.

  I’m glad you solved your problem and thanks for the information. It’s good to that in case anyone else encounters that problem with a manual installation.

  Solved After update to Mirror to 2.1.3 - no working Whitlist

  @Nick said in After update to Mirror to 2.1.3 - no working Whitlist:

  Yes, including my personal wiki on another Raspberry Pi, all with 2-5ms

  None of this may help, but you can use it as a checklist.

  ifconfig on Pi reports the IP address you are trying to ping (wlan0) assuming wifi Connecting Pi via ethernet, ifconfig and trying to ping then Pinging another device from the Pi itself The MM software updates. Clock, calendar, weather, etc?

  Logically, if the only thing you can’t do is ping or connect to the Pi, then something is wrong on the software side, whether a corruption, an edit or a failed installation of the software or dependencies during the upgrade process. The answer in that case, with the most success, is a manual installation, IMHO. You can continue to troubleshoot, which could take a long time, or you can know in less than an hour. You will not lose anything in doing this.

  Solved the issue by simply running npm install in the vendor folder.

  Found thanks to this issue

  Thought I’d share the solution so maybe noobs like me can use it in the future.

  how would I go about that?

  I don’t know that formatting is necessary. However, you could try this and know if you were successful in less than an hour.

  Ah ok. Thanks for the tip.

  Since I dont like sharing my private calendar in public, I tried to set it up without sharing the calendar.

  { url: 'webcal://cloud.linus-schuertz.de/remote.php/dav/calendars/Linus/linusics?export', symbol: 'calendar-o', auth: { user: 'Linus', pass: 'superstrongpassword', method: 'basic' } },

  This setup is working! :))

  Thanks alot for help!

  @terades said in MM restarts all the time after a few settings:

  I think its the power cable its an bad one… sometimes i see a flash on the top right

  The “flash on the top right” is telling you that you have insufficient power going to the Pi. Standard power for the Pi is 5V 2.0A to 5V 2.5A. Are you using a power adapter or are you using a USB cable from a USB port?

  @bd5hty said in Can not start MM anymore:

  Electron failed to install correctly, please delete node_modules/electron and try installing again

  Your answer is right there in the error message. Delete the electron folder from inside the node_modules folder. Then run npm install in the MagicMirror directory
