MM startup problem after update

[sdetweil]

@manu85340 fun

try this

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

then npm start

[manu85340]

@sdetweil I’m stuck at this level

[manu85340]

@sdetweil

[sdetweil]

@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 grr… that was the problem finding the c++ lib for buster.

let me research, be a couple hours

[manu85340]

@sdetweil OK thanks to you

[sdetweil]

@manu85340 so, after research. there is no way to get to the latest MagicMirror release on buster.

unless there is some fix you NEED , I recommend staying where you were til you can plan to upgrade the os.

now we’ve already tried going forward, so need to jump back.

can you look in the upgrade log ~/MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log
for the string

upgrading from version

so we can get you back to that earlier release

in prep for os migration, and general health backup your MagicMirror system
see my backup restore
