Auto start stops working

[Peter]

My MM runned fine.
I wanted to remove a module (movielistings) and add another module (everynews) but then auto start does not work anymore.
Replacing the config file with the old one (with movielistings) auto start works well.
What to do?

@Peter said in Auto start stops working:

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

yes… upgrade is a 2 part thing

test
do

you did test which doesn’t fix anything
using the second link will DO

but as you already did it manually, apply will bail out

so change the word apply at the end of the second copy/paste to

force

@Peter we need to see the output of npm start with the updated config.js

so do this

pm2 stop.all
cd ~/MagicMirror 
npm start

[Peter]

@sdetweil this is what I get:

yep

see
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-late

a good reason to use my upgrade script… I would have checked and fixed this

[Peter]

@sdetweil I used your updatescript; problem still the same.
MM works fine without EveryNews in the config, with EveryNews there is no autostart.

update log will be in /home/mm/MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log
