@sdetweil Yes, indeed - we had a chat at these time as you might remember.
And here seems to be an opportunity to do “something” against this "bug"sounet thingi …
As @coernel suggested a re-upload could help (a little bit), so I considered this as a really good and nice idea.
But it went wrong - for unknown reasons the given copy is incomplete.

So my suggestion to complete this ta - at least - have a working copy of an elder status …

@rkorell yeh, or forget it and move to a current module.
very troubling

Thank you everyone, I’m sorry for opening this can of worms.

I’ve now got a Python script that runs at boot and does the job after destroying my MM installation trying to apply upgrades.

rkorell

@sdetweil :-).
I like it very much because it offers a lot nice and fancy stuff as the others don’t …
(progress bar, dimming, cron-steering for sleeping times)

@lif can you talk about this python after …

MagicMirror upgrades? if so , did you use my upgrade script?

this highlights a problem. some modules need a refresh install when nodejs and MagicMirror change
so the upgrade script does that. but that wipes the node_modules folder for the module. and the dependencies are also not available anymore.

so, if i DO try the npm install it breaks, if i dont try the npm install it might break. fun times.
i will add a check for the authors url and skip the install action

@rkorell i hear yah.

at least in bugsounet’s README.md there is a hint in this direction …

sdetweil

@rkorell yes, but there is nothing I can do… the dependencies no longer exist
he had some integrated update mechanism, I added code to launch that once…
now its dead too…

rkorell

@sdetweil OK.
really unfortunate.
I do not understand these dependencies - so I was hopeful that an update will not destroy module’s ability to work …

So I have to stay with the old mirror version to keep module running?

I was trying to upgrade Nodejs and if failed with lots of errors.

my mm and the whole system had got messy, so I’m using this as an opportunity to clean things up (it didn’t help insofar as a restore from the most recent backup didn’t work.
