MM doesnt work after update to version 2.26

[davismorehead]

how do I do that?

also if I run the command
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ systemctl get-default
graphical.target

I get graphical even though I don’t have the file

[davismorehead]

I did

npm update.

i did pm2 start mm

and it works. Thank you very much

@davismorehead what npm update?

[davismorehead]

I will look at your script later.

So in the future I should run npm update not npm install?

[davismorehead]

cd MagicMirror/
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm update

added 495 packages, and changed 6 packages in 3m

195 packages are looking for funding
run npm fund for details

That worked

@davismorehead i don’t understand

when we release a new version, we have dependency changes additions, removals

so to handle all that you do
npm run install-mm
install-mm is a script tag in the package.json

it just turns off as much of the noise as we can…

my script does the same thing…

I don’t know what npm update does. we don’t use it

@sdetweil said in MM doesnt work after update to version 2.26:

ad you could try upgrade, with force instead of apply.

so based on this post i Tried npm update. Not sure what you meant me to do. So sounds like we solved it but don’t know why.

@davismorehead what I meant was to use my upgrade script

its a two step process…

test
do

on the ‘do’
its the same command as test, but with the parm ‘apply’ on the end

I check if you have already upgraded, and won’t let you do it again, accidentally

SO, as you HAVE already downloaded the new code, I would just end
but if you change apply to force
then upgrade will happen again …

my objective is to NOT screw up your wonderful mirror system .

oh. I have to figure that out since I cannot get it to run because of the default.target file not existing on my pi.

Again thanks for your help.
