        @sdetweil when I out the whole line in, it said fatal too many arguments. I made a new folder called mm and did the git clone of the site.

        Forgot to run npm install, will do that and post results.

          ok, mostly back. My calendar and news feed is still stuck on loading, but everything else is back up. I will post some error logs later after i poke around.

          Sam, thank you so much for your help. It is really appreciated.

              @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:

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

                  cd ~/MagicMirror
                  git checkout develop
                  git pull
                  

                  then restart mm

                    @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.

                      @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

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

                        cd ~/MagicMirror
                        git checkout develop
                        git pull

                        and then restart mm?

                              @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!
