      @BKeyport we decided that starting with the wrong config is not helpful,

      and best practice says you would use manual start, after making changes, to validate the change, before restarting w pm2

            cd ~/MagicMirror
            npm run config:check

            find the line number and look at the lines of config.js
            around there for the error

                @pat59 youve got a space between config and check

                config:check

                in package.json script section are all the npm commands MagicMirror suppports

                    @pat59 correct, if you do all this over ssh instead of vnc you can copy the text, instead of screen shot. very hard to read

                        @pat59 yes, go to line 270, should say
                        position
                        as first thing
                        look at the end of line 269
                        does it have a trailing comma, means more to follow

                                  Good morning .
                                  after having made my MagicMirror work again thanks to you.
                                  I get this error message after installing MMM-Linky. My mirror works but not the MMM

                                  unfortunately, this module is not compatible with your os try to update your os to the latest version raspbian .
                                  what is the risk of updating to the latest raspbian version?
                                  I definitely don’t want to break my mirror.
                                  Sincerely

                                    there is no simple way to upgrade your os, or without impacts

                                    best method is to make a new sd card

                                    use my backup/restore scripts to save your MagicMirror environment, make sure you copy off the backup folder or use the github storage approach
                                    https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore

                                    then create a new sd card, and install MagicMirror using my install script,
                                    https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

                                    Make sure it runs as basic install
                                    then use my restore script to put back your MagicMirror environment

                                    but this is not perfect as OS changes impact some modules
