      @DarkV way back further in the log, back 50 lines maybe

      as using pm2 the good and error lines are separated into two lists

      none of the bugsounet repos are online any more
      so if you dont want to see those errors, you can exclude them from the updatenotification module scans

          @DarkV mmm-config requires MagicMirror version 2.28 or higher

          also, you have some syntax error around line 122 in config.js

          pm2 flush to empty the logs

          and see what hsppens after you fix that config.js error

            @sdetweil, I’m sorry. Can you please highlight where I have the error? I am considering reinstalling it as I cannot even update Magic Mirror. I want to back up Config.js, but if it contains faults, then I will be back to square one.

                    I used a fresh SD card for the reinstallation, but some of her modules are incompatible with the new setup. Consequently, my wife has firmly decided to stick with the current version until her modules stop functioning. Unfortunately, since one of the modules doesn’t work with the old MagicMirror version, I’m at an impasse. It is a pity, I wanted this as due to dyslexia, this would have been perfect for my situation
