MM not loading after software update

[Redicaljk]

@sdetweil sorry, I am a complete newbie. I tried entering node-v and npm-v in the terminal and I get “command not found”.

[sdetweil]

@Redicaljk there is a space between node and -v

[Redicaljk]

@sdetweil thank you!
pi@rpi4:~ $ node -v
v16.17.0
pi@rpi4:~ $ npm -v
8.15.0
pi@rpi4:~ $

@Redicaljk ok, lets redo the npm install for MagicMirror

cd ~/MagicMirror
rm -rf node_modules
rm package-lock.json
npm install --omit=dev

[Redicaljk]

@sdetweil done. Still having an issue:

@Redicaljk see this topic, for missing libraries

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later, 1st post gives instructions

[Redicaljk]

@sdetweil thank you! I’ll give it a try.

[Redicaljk]

@Redicaljk Looks like the original issue has been resolved, however, MM still crashes. I can’t copy the error without this post being marked as spam!!!

[sdetweil]

@Redicaljk send to me in email…
same userid at gmail

[sdetweil]

@Redicaljk did some other module need a library?

[Redicaljk]

@sdetweil just emailed you.

[sdetweil]

@Redicaljk looking at it

[sdetweil]

@Redicaljk workaround, do

cd ~/MagicMirror
nano package.json

scroll down to the line that looks like this

		"start": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",

change to look like this

		"start": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron --no-sandbox js/electron.js",

ctrl-o
to save the changed file
ctrl-x to exit nano

then npm start to test

[sdetweil]

@Redicaljk see my post above

[Redicaljk]

@sdetweil Success! Thank you. MM now loads and does not crash but Weather module is not loading and there’s an error in the calendar module.

[sdetweil]

@Redicaljk show the errors, email if required

[Redicaljk]

@sdetweil just emailed you.

[sdetweil]

@Redicaljk k… not sure on calendar…

on onthisday do

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-OnThisDay
rm -rf node_modules
rm package-lock.json
npm install --omit=dev

then try again , works here

[Redicaljk]

@sdetweil I really don’t know how to thank you. MM is back up and working as before including the calendar, weather and on this day.

Do you know what caused this issue? Was it the software update?

[sdetweil]

@Redicaljk looks like the sw update updated node and messed everything up…

to update MagicMirror (next release Oct 1) , see my scripts
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

they do all this remove/npm install for the base and every module and fix the missing libs too… I will add jsdom to the list
