MM cant boot, wont boot!

Cyric

rebooted this morning, reinstalled a module, and everything is back except the weather only shows 2 days. Thank you again for your help Sam.

@sdetweil I’ve going through the same thing. I had a good running copy of MM and I attempted to upgrade to the latest version. It would not boot. I followed this thread as far as discovering that all the modules had been deleted. I used the command to reinstall the default module, then reinstalled my selected modules from the MM Package Manager. Still doesn’t work, it only shows a blank screen with a pointer.

Running npm restart gives:

I’m out of ideas - can anybody help please?

TIA,

sdetweil

@chrisparker somebody is missing one of their dependencies

Cannot find module 'cheerio

do

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install cheerio

then try to start

sdetweil

@Cyric 2 days, I think they pushed a fix for that, do

cd ~/MagicMirror
git checkout develop
git pull

then restart mm

Cyric

@sdetweil So i tried that and it said “error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout:
package-lock.json
Please commit your changes or stash them before you switch branches.
Aborting”
but i havent edited the package-lock.json, so i don’t know why its saying that. Since the problems started when i ran the update, i’m nervous to mess with anything again.

sdetweil

@Cyric package-lock. Jason is shipped as part of the project, AND updated every time one does npm install, so it will always present a problem.

just erase it, and then git pull again

Cyric

@sdetweil So i should delete the package-lock.json file, then run

cd ~/MagicMirror
git checkout develop
git pull

and then restart mm?

sdetweil

@Cyric yes

Cyric

awesome, that worked.

Thank you!

chrisparker

@sdetweil Thanks. Turned out there were several dependencies missing that are needed by the Dilbert module.

I’ve now reloaded my config files and all is well - thanks!
