@DarkV yes i understand

lets restore the updatenotification module file

cd ~/MagicMirror
git checkout modules/default/updatenotification/updatenotification.js

then lets edit config.js to disable the module

 {
      module:"updatenotification",
      position:"top_bar",
      disabled:true
  },

@sdetweil said in Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module:

cd ~/MagicMirror
git checkout modules/default/updatenotification/updatenotification.js

it checkout modules/default/updatenotification/updatenotification.js
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
junior@MAGIC-MIRROR:~/MagicMirror $

[sdetweil]

@DarkV hmmm

how did you install MagicMirror
manual, scripted or zip file download ?

[Johanba]

Also not getting it to work
in the browser i go to installer
and this is all that loads

[sdetweil]

@Johanba i posted in your other topic

[DarkV]

@sdetweil Script
You helped me on a while back

[sdetweil]

@DarkV i understand, but that wasn’t the question

the git checkout command should have worked,
but failed.

now i am trying to figure out why. and what to do about it

the command prompt looks different after

cd ~/MagicMirror 

then the last time you did a command

so try this way

go to your MagicMirror folder
and do git status

show the results

@DarkV asking again, how did you install MagicMirror?

[DarkV]

@sdetweil I think it must have been a script on the net. It was quite a long time ago, between 2022 and 2023. I honestly cannot remember. I found an old config.js from ‎06 ‎October ‎2023

[sdetweil]

@DarkV ok, my script is the only one I know about and it uses git

lets do this to get a new copy and use your config/modules…
copy paste this section to a terminal window

cd ~
# save MM folder
mv MagicMirror MagicMirror.org
# install new MM (reply N to screen saver/pm2
bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)"

once MM is installed again lets make THIS new version look like the old
copy/paste this

# copy files
cd ~
cp MagicMirror.org/config/config.js MagicMirror/config
cp MagicMirror.org/css/custom.css MagicMirror/css
cd MagicMirror/modules
# save the new default module folder
mv default ..
cd ..
# copy all the org modules 
cp -r -p ~/MagicMirror.org/modules .
cd modules
# remove the old default  modules folder
rm -rf default
# move back the new default 
mv ../default .
cd ~/MagicMirror

now
npm start should work
