MM startup problem after update

[BKeyport]

@manu85340 did you get a all black screen? There’s some background stuff that needs node/npm upgraded. If you updated before around 6 hours prior to your post, run the command again.

[manu85340]

@BKeyport No I didn’t have a black screen, I ran the script I didn’t get an error message I updated about 2 hours ago, I updated again the update an hour ago but MM still does not want to start I don’t understand why thank you for your help

I’ve seen some troubles w pm2 lately not on pi os, but maybe here too now

sudo reboot

@sdetweil Hi Stan, I’m happy to read you (every time I have problems :-)) here are the screenshots of what you asked me to do

[sdetweil]

@manu85340 fun

try this

pm2 stop all
cd ~/MagicMirror 
npm install electron@31.1.0

@manu85340 but what about npm start??

[manu85340]

@sdetweil I get this message when I run npm start

[sdetweil]

@manu85340 ok, show output of
uname -a

[manu85340]

@sdetweil

[sdetweil]

@manu85340 did you do the electron install I provided?

if so can you do it again and show me the output?

if you do all this over ssh, then you have text you can copy/paste instead of pics. which are hard to read

[manu85340]

@sdetweil ok sorry for the screenshots

@manu85340 ok, upgrade didn’t upgrade nodejs…
