Error starting after upgrade

[wwats]

@sdetweil i’m very sorry but i don’t understand this and what i have exactly to do… Can you explain it in a different way?

[sdetweil]

@wwats

type the command

which node

and show the output

[wwats]

@sdetweil
ok i understand - output is
/usr/bin/node

maybe is this important: i work directly on my raspberry with ssh

[sdetweil]

@wwats ok, lets run this

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

[wwats]

@sdetweil
Everything works :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up: ! Thank You very much - so the mirror is running again. Can I something do for You?

Sam,

I’m having similar problems since the recent upgrade. Big disclaimer here that I’m also not the savviest with technology, but was able to get the MM up and running with 95% of what I envisioned and I’m adventurous enough to try and find solutions before asking questions.

I have been searching and attempting various ways to fix my issues, which I fear may have made this more complex to solve (i.e. attempted to reinstall the newest upgrades both using your script and manually, everything I found short of using the “force” option). My previous attempts have been working directly on the Pi with keyboard, currently attempting via SSH with same results so far.

I’m at a crossroads in my mind now and I’m hoping you can provide steering. Have I gunked this up so much that I should remove and reinstall MM (keeping copes of the previously working config.js, custom.css, and modules folders that I saved on the Pi desktop to try and make the reinstall easier) or can this be fixed? Second concern is that now I’m very hesitant to attempt future upgrades after dealing with this issue (and being far beyond my own capabilities). Any tips or tricks to avoid this in the future?

I tried the steps above in this thread with the following results:

• “n” and “nvm”, got messages that “command not found” (both in the main folder and MM folder)
• “sudo n prune” and “sudo n uninstall”, similar message “sudo n: command not found” (both in main and MM folders)
• “node -v” gave me “v20.8.0” (I have ran your script for the node update several times now)
• “ls-laf…” method to find the usr/bin location didn’t work (“no such file or directory”, both main and MM folders attempted), but “which node” DID work, showed “/usr/bin/node”

Just re-ran the script you linked above and still seeing the same results, posted below. (I used “npm start”, was using pm2 to auto start MM before the upgrade.)

My previous efforts were trying to find a solution to the “digest-fetch” module, since that appears to be the main problem that I see. I have previously attempted to fix the “envsubst” debug message using guidance in other threads, which either didn’t work, or has been undone by my repeated attempts to solve this problem.

Apologies for the long and rambling note, just wanted to give as much detail that may be useful. Thank you!

[sdetweil]

@rmcon said in Error starting after upgrade:

Cannot find module ‘digest-fetch’

this is the prior release code

which means you didn’t run the upgrade

either my script or the manual upgrade

note my script is 2 part, test and run a second time w a parameter to actually do the upgrade

[rmcon]

@sdetweil

I’m a little confused regarding the two separate scripts. I thought the updates were necessary, not optional and didn’t understand why would there be a test run script if the changes need to be applied. In other words, I figured the first script that doesn’t actually apply changes was just extra effort… Is the intent to make sure the update works with the user’s specific MM configuration?

I tried the trial run the first time and I don’t recall if I could tell there were any changes, so I tried the second script to actually make changes.

So, I just tried running the “test” script again, the one thing I did differently is to say “No” when asked if I wanted to keep 23 files that are different than the master (last time I said “Yes”).

Just tried starting MM again, getting the same error. Since the test run didn’t give me any better results, I went ahead and tried the script to apply changes. Same result as before.

The current version is 2.25.0, right? I see that stated in the terminal window:
rmco01@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

(remainder truncated since it appears to be the same as previously reported)

Is there some other step that I’m missing? When you say “run a second time w a parameter to actually do the upgrade,” the parameter you’re referring to is “apply” at the end of the link/script, correct? Or am I supposed to do something else in MM or the config file to make it take effect?

[rmcon]

Just got a chance to work on this again. Tried doing both upgrade scripts (again) and I’m getting the same results. I reviewed the upgrade.log file but nothing is jumping out at me (full log from today’s efforts below). The only items that seem like they didn’t go as intended are a few modules that may have been partially skipped in the upgrade process (“skipped processing for…” MMM-Wallpaper, MMM-connection-status, MMM-Remote-Control, MMM-BurinIn), but I don’t think those would be related to the problems I’m experiencing when trying to start MM. I may remove those from my config.js file to see in anything changes. Other ideas?

(Apologies for the section of large text below, I can’t figure out why it’s doing that and how to fix it)

@rmcon said in Error starting after upgrade:

doing test run = true, NO updates will be applied!

this is the test run.

upgrade is a two.part process

everyone puts lots of energy into building their mirrors.

last thing my script needs to do is screw it up.
so test run let’s you get an idea if there are any issues you need to fix BEFORE making any changes

the second run (with the apply parameter)
actually DOES the update.

however, I will NOT upgrade a system already upgraded by default

IF you need to force the upgrade process over the same version, then change the parm apply to force

[rmcon]

@sdetweil
I did the test upgrade then followed it with the apply parameter.

At this point, I think my only option is to try the force option. Worst case scenario, if I can’t revive the current version, I’ll try to remove MM and start fresh. I think I’ve got the important bits saved somewhere else to make the job a little easier.

I really do appreciate your help with this, as it is not my forte.

Force update complete. MM still not working properly, but it’s something different, which I’ll call progress.

I see some answers for ‘node-fetch’ in topic #18055, but I’m not sure if that fix will work on this problem. I’m still digging around, but not seeing this exact problem so far. Thanks.

yes we removed some libs as fetch is built-in in node 18 up.

that module has a fix

go to the MMM-Wallpaper folder (check spelling)
git pull
to update

then restart mm

We’re up and running! Thank you so much for your patience. I have learned a lot from this go round and I’m hoping that the next update will go much smoother. I still don’t fully understand how to check the test run for compatibility with my configuration before applying the changes, but I have a little time to get smarter before the next update. Have a great rest of your week.
