Just updated Mirror, now mirror will not work.

@nneuland what pi? did u do npm install?

[Nneuland]

@sdetweil

raspberry pi 4.

I did an install from the magicmirror remote. The last update worked fine, no problems.

git pull && npm install in the terminal should take care of that, right?

[sdetweil]

@nneuland well, there are others reporting similar problems…

not sure what the problem is yet

[Nneuland]

@sdetweil

Ohhhh no. Ok. At least I’m not going mad alone. Thank you for letting me know

[sdetweil]

@nneuland but fresh install doesn’t seem to have the problem…

use my script, it never fails…

rename the existing MagicMirror folder
then run the install script.

see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

then u can copy your modules over and config.js from the renamed folder

@sdetweil

Saved again by Sam/. Thank you so very much

[Nneuland]

@sdetweil I think I celebrated too early.

Very odd thing happening. I’ve lost all of my modules. Back to default. What in the world did I do now?

[sdetweil]

@nneuland did u copy your stuff over? from the old to the new? including config.js?

rename the new modules/default folder out of the way for the copy

then from the new modules folder
cp -r -p ~/Magicmirror-old/modules .

then rm -rf default
and rename the saved default folder back

@sdetweil

yeah. Just getting a black screen and a cursor.

[sdetweil]

@nneuland black screen, look at the messages where u start MagicMirror

npm start
or pm2

if pm2, then the pm2 logs --lines=100
will show the same messages

@sdetweil

you’re right

[09.07.2021 21:41.21.879] [ERROR] WARNING! Could not load config file. Starting with default configuration. Error found: Error: Cannot find module ‘request’

not sure why

[sdetweil]

@nneuland because request was removed in the latest release, as it has security issue that could not be fixed., and all users recommended to get on to something else ( aka deprecated)

in the short term

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install request

You’re a gentleman and a scholar!!!
