                    yes, lets try something not so new…

                    do

                    cd ~/MagicMirror
                    rm -rf node_modules/electron
                    npm install electron@6.0.12
                    

                    note that for other modules, you may also have to run electron-rebuild

                        Sorry about reviving an old thread but I thought you and others might want to know

                        Bro, I went ahead and installed npm install electron@latest (11.3.0) as an experiment. Both my MMM-ISS-Live and EARTH-Live modules were affected by electron. It appears the latest version of electron has fixed the problem, at least with these two modules
