MM Update - GIT error

[justjim1220]

@pakmann

Well, I am not sure what is happening…
My best guess is to delete the .git folder then redo the git pull && npm install

@pakmann

OR…
Rename your MagicMirror folder to MM-BAK

then git clone MagicMirror for a fresh install

Then move your modules folder, config.js, and custom.css files over to the fresh install

might also need to move the package.json and package-lock.json files from the bak to the fresh install

And, anytime I have dealt with anything like this, I always have to rebuild, or reboot, or both

Maybe this was the issue.

Yeah, it’s possible if the update was retrieved during that time.

GEEZ!!!

I literally just installed a fresh MagicMirror to an Ubuntu OS, and had zero issues.

I did a manual install of Browserlist…

npm install Browserlist@3.0 -g

then I also did a manual install of PhantomJS…

sudo npm insall PhantomJS@latest -g

Then I made sure I had updated versions of npm, node, and electron

npm install npm@latest -g
npm install node@ latest -g
sudo npm electron@latest -g

@pakmann

I’m not using pi, so I don’t really know if this will help or not… could be different

[Pakmann]

hmm… it looks like my system is broken. npm makes a lot of problems too.

I decide to reset the systems completely. Fresh OS and a new MM installation. It was easier as to find the root cause. Now everythink is running up again.

Thanks a lot for your ideas and your help
