@sdetweil the new install used the master branch, so on electron 6. the old folder is on develop, so electron 8.5

[sdetweil]

@Richard238 ok. 1st time seeing this…

just to make sure
from the old folder
grep version node_modules/electron/package.json

[Richard238]

@sdetweil said in After update, nothing happens.:

grep version node_modules/electron/package.json

pi@pi_mirror:~/MagicMirror__RL1 $ grep version node_modules/electron/package.json
“type”: “version”,
“version”: “8.5.3”
pi@pi_mirror:~/MagicMirror__RL1 $

@Richard238 ok, thx. problem is new electron won’t run on Jessie anymore…

I don’t know if this will work.

from. the old mm folder

rm -rf node_modules/electron
npm install electron@6.1.12
then npm start

[Richard238]

@sdetweil said in After update, nothing happens.:

npm install electron@6.1.12

Sam, you’re a genius!

That’s fixed it.
This will only happen again in the not too distant future I’m sure, so would I be better off installing a newer OS?
And then how do I recreate my MM on said new OS?

I’m going to logoff for now, thanks again for your help today.
More tomorrow I’m sure.
Kind regards,
Richard.

@Richard238

copy your MagicMirror folder to save it somewhere
u can zip it to to save space

install buster on your sd card
run the installer to get things setup
restore you MM zip file
erase the node_modules folder
npm install (this should put on the newer electron)
npm start

[Richard238]

Old MM FTPd to NAS.
Installing new OS now, on a different SD card so I can go back if absolutely necessary.
My plan is to build a new MM as the old one had a lot of clutter - old unused modules etc.
Taking the opportunity for a fresh start. I’ll let you know how it goes…
