    @neo_anderson apt upgrade does not change your system to new version, only bring this version up to date

    lsb_release -a

    shows the os version detail

    buster is 2 versions back

    bullseye and bookworm since then, bookworm, the current version, has been out over a year now

      @sdetweil Thanks. that makes sense. Im on buster. see below. I was searching how to upgrade to bookwork but from my understanding it’s not very simple. any recommendations?

      pi@raspberrypi:~ $ lsb_release -a
      No LSB modules are available.
      Distributor ID: Raspbian
      Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
      Release: 10
      Codename: buster

        @sdetweil alternatively, is it simple better to format the pi and install bookworm from scratch?

          yes, better to start with new base

          backup MM config…
          see my https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore
          make sure to copy backup folder (MM_backup) off or push to git
          so you can have it for restore

            @sdetweil I got it working. Tried the manual method but it didnt work so then I tried your automatic script and it worked perfectly. much appreciated.

            is there a way to get the software to prompt for the user to select from a pre-built list of modules and syn with an email account?

              @neo_anderson no we don’t have that

              i am working in a new module installer that will let you pick from the 3rd party list catalog.

              then after installing those will open my mmm-config module to allow you to configure the modules you installed
              (and you can go back there at any tine, installer or config)

              i don’t think there is any concept of pre-built list of modules

              my restore script works from a list of the urls (created at backup tine), but its just a text file list
