      I don’t need the backup because I just flashed the memory card and haven’t installed any modules yet.
      If I re-flash the card now, what instructions should I follow so that version 20.8 is installed and not the defective 20.5.1 again?

      Thanks for your help so far

        @sil3ntstorm is it the 64 bit OS, or 32? 64 bit seems to be the biggest trouble spot…

        I would use the 32 bit image

        then run my install script as the first thing…

        we had trouble with the preinstalled node 12 too…

          Do you have a link for the installation script?
          I only saw the link for the backup script

              @sdetweil So that I don’t do something wrong for the third time, I’d rather ask carefully: I re-flashed the SD card, now I have to do this first:

              bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/node20_install.sh)”

              And then this: bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)”

              And there is already version 20.8 in there and no longer the defective 20.5.1?

              And then at the end turn off the two things for the screen saver and the autostart thing:
              bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/screensaveroff.sh)”

              and

              bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixuppm2.sh)”

              Have I understood everything correctly so far?

                only raspberry.sh

                it does all the others too.

                  @sdetweil I did it, at the beginning it said version 20.8 and further down it says that 20.5.1 was installed, did something go wrong here?

                            @sdetweil No, I re-flashed the SD card and could now reinstall the Magic Mirror software. Should I access my Pi and run this?

                            bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)”

                            Or do I have to do something else beforehand so that the Magic Mirror software is installed correctly?

                              yes, just run that. it has all the latest fixes and has been tested on bookwork, bullseye and buster

                                @sdetweil That worked very well this time. Magic Mirror finally starts. Thank you very much for your script.
                                I would now like to know whether I can install my modules normally like before, or whether there are still difficulties with calendar modules (I have often read this week that calendar modules cause problems)?

                                I had these modules on it before and would install everything again, or should I leave some out because there are problems with the new MM update/version?

                                Edit: After I rebooted, Magic Mirror doesn’t start automatically, then I entered this command:

                                bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixuppm2.sh)”

                                It then starts immediately, but after restarting the Pi starts without MM.

                                  @sil3ntstorm yes the pm2 script has done trouble

                                  do this

                                  pm2 startup
                                  

                                  it will output a command, copy paste that

                                    Did I do it right? If so, it will appear as a message

                                      @sil3ntstorm need all of the command everything that it outputs, you didn’t copy about 30 characters

                                      then

                                      pm2 start ~/MagicMirror/installers/pm2_MagicMirror.json
                                      pm2 save

                                        Wooooooooooooow it works, thank you very much

                                        This worked after I typed this:

                                        sudo env PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2 startup systemd -u pi --hp /home/pi

                                        then that:

                                        pm2 start ~/MagicMirror/installers/pm2_MagicMirror.json
                                        pm2 save
