    mumblebaj Module Developer @ankonaskiff17

    @ankonaskiff17 SO I believe a few things have changed since. Some deprecated modules they got rid off i.e. request and some others. Modules that use them would be a problem. My suggestion would be to use Sam’s upgrade script which would check each module directory and fixup the missing dependencies for you.

    Check out my modules at: https://github.com/mumblebaj?tab=repositories

        @sdetweil I did use your install script for the core installation and that is all fine and functional. I decided to give 64 bit a try because figured if the base MM didn’t like it, just reformat card and do 32 bit.
        Hoping I can put MM SD card in laptop card reader and portable drive with files plug in to USB on laptop and it just be a copy/paste exercise in VSC.

        Most of modules I use are pretty basic. I had found a setup I liked and hoping it’s plug and play.

        @sdetweil Glad you made it out of hospital.

          @ankonaskiff17 that should work…

          u might want to look at my backup/restore scripts.

          they backup config.js and custom.css and the URLs of all the modules u have installed

          so 3 small files.

          and then on restore copies back the 2 files and uses the URLs to reinstall all the modules and (fix the missing dependencies too)…

          https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore

          I need to make them so they can be executed from the repo… but haven’t done that yet…

          i made it so the 3 files are in a git repo, so you version them and then can restore any particular version…
          and push the git repo to your github (in a private repo)

            @sdetweil I was just reading the topic about fix for black screen and while I need to read several more times to get my arms around it, I was wondering if I can do those scripts on the files before I copy them over. Instead of ssh’ing in to Pi open terminal go to drive and see if they are problematic before moving?
            I would back up exiting files in case I blew something up.

              @ankonaskiff17 u can run the backup script on your sd folder… it takes a -s parm for source
              (-h shows the syntax)

              this would create the 3 files…

              then u could run the restore on the new system by copying the backup folder to the new system
              (and -h shows syntax)

              this reinstalls the modules from github… not copies any of their files…

                @sdetweil Found my first 3rd party module lacking “request”. Your tutorial worked like a charm

                  @ankonaskiff17 @sdetweil Found a new way scorch a Pi on this project.
                  Had a snap together case I put Pi in, snapped closed and I’ll admit, it to some muscle to snap case closed.
                  Shortly thereafter I caught the unmistakable odor of burning electronics.
                  I snapped the SD card so it was bent like 90°
                  The Pi did not like that.
